I hate the rip-off prices for the blades. I used a worn out wood blade between the bricks, the old mortar just fell out. I love my Fein Multimaster. I'm hoping someone will get some aftermarket blades of all types available soon.Interesting application--I repaired old brick foundation that had very thin, rotten mortar. Totally ruined the blade, but I sailed through the mortar like butter and most of the debris fell out, so clean up was a couple of quick blasts of air and I was ready to tuckpoint.I would recomend the tool a lot quicker if the blades were reasonable, but tool not a good choice because of operating cost. I hate being ripped off for blades. I have used almost all of the blades for my Fein, love how they work.
They do wear out pretty quick, but like most Multi Master tools, they are built for specific tasks and get the job done when conventional methods & tools don't work. If you have the specific need for this blade, it works great.
Check out the blades at Harbor Freight.they work just fine and are quite a bit less expensive.
I use this blade for vynal siding and it works great. For this tool the price is good.
I own a lot of expensive tools and I take care not to abuse them, so I don't think this was a case of gross operator error. The spring loaded mounting system snapped shut on the blade and it broke into several fragments. Disappointing for such an expensive blade. This blade cuts through wood like a hot knife through butter, but it is extremely fragile. I actually shattered mine when changing blades, not in actual use.
