Review

"Dremel 6300-01 120-Volt Multi-Max" Nice tool for remodeling. I have watched the advertisement on television for the Fein Multimaster but not having deep pockets I decided to purchase the Multi-Max and try it out. I have used it for a number of different jobs and for the most part it did a good job. Here are some of the tasks that it took on.

Cutting holes in drywall: It works great for cutting holes for electrical boxes - the straight blades leave a nice clean hole without a lot of dust. For those times when you need to get access to plumbing to make changes or to repair a pipe it works nicely. In one case I removed the drywall, made the necessary changes then I was able to reuse the drywall to close up the hole.

Making a flush cut in wood siding: I installed new sliding glass doors that opened on a deck. It worked perfectly to cut the siding at the deck plate so I could get the old door out while leaving a clean cut for the new trim.

Removing underlayment (flooring) next to cabinets: The old underlayment was not reusable and I did not want to remove the cabinets so I made a cut in the the underlayment at the cabinets then removed the majority of the underlayment.

Cutting plumbing tubes and pipes: It did a good job on copper pipe buried in the wall and it did ok on plastic drain pipe. It would cut the plastic but it would melt if you didn't move fast enough.

I probably used this tool for 16 hours total over two months and it worked fine. I didn't have problems with the blades coming loose and it never got hot enough to stop because of overheating. The only blade I didn't use very much was the half circle - with drywall it seems to throw a lot of dust.

Could I have done this work with other tools? Almost certainly but it would have taken longer or there would have been a lot more extra work to repair the damage from other tools. The last job I did with it was to add an electrical box inside a cabinet above a stove. I had to cut through 1/4" of plywood and 1/2" of drywall. It was really tight and this little tool allowed me to get inside a make a clean cut that was a perfect fit for the box.

I plan on getting a grout blade next for replacing the grout lines in a tile surface. If I did a lot of remodeling I would purchase the Fein but even so this tooled payed for itself on this one remodeling project.
