(More customer reviews)When I bought the MultiMaster 2XL Kit, I wondered how much I would actually use it in my "Handyman" business. Since I "bit the bullet" and spent the money about a year ago I have come to wonder how I lived without this amazing tool for so long.
In the last two days I have used it to: #1 Cut through the grout lines and cement backer-board to allow access to frozen pipes hidden between a tiled shower and a masonry outer wall. It cut cleanly, allowing me to replace the tiles, still on the backerboard and regrout with no tiles damaged for a clean repair. #2 Cut through the back of a tiled-in vanity to access more frozen pipes. The ability to cut straight into and through a variety of materials with a minimum of mess and collateral damage, in places that defy cutting with any other tool, is priceless in my work. #3. Cut through old, multilayered paint on antique baseboard, top, side, mitered corner, and flush at the floor, to allow me to remove it without damage to the baseboard, floor or plaster wall, again to access frozen pipes requiring repair. I was able to replace the baseboard with only a barely visible caulk line and tiny 21 gauge headless brad holes to bear evidence that I had even been there. #4. I sanded right-up to an inside corner on a stair tread to allow blending of old and new wood. You must allow the tool to do the work, rotating the paper to access all 3 edges and changing the paper when it ceases to cut or you will trash the sanding pad, but it is a remarkable sander when used carefully.
ALL the accessories are VASTLY overpriced so buy the 2XL kit and get as many as possible included with the tool. I do not understand why they have to be so expensive. It certainly isn't because they are exceptionally tough. I have taken to using 4" diameter HSS jeweler's saw blades for many cutting jobs when being flush to a surface doesn't matter.
I bill time and material in my business and I do bill my customer when I destroy a blade on a screw or nails. (I killed 2 flush saw blades today so I buy them 3 at a time to lower the cost each a little.)
Despite the cost of accessories I highly recommend this amazingly useful tool. It will allow you to do some jobs faster, easier, and cleaner than you ever could have imagined without it.
