6 sanding sheets 4-1/2 in perforated (2 each of grits 60, 80, 180).3 of each sanding sheet (grits 60, 80, 120, 180), perforated.That’s quite a bit higher than the 92 dB(A) of Milwaukee’s cordless model, but well under the 104 dB(A) Rockwell’s cordless model delivers. The MultiMaster comes in under 100 decibels with a 98 dB(A) measurement. We took our tools out in a field to get a measurement of just the cutting sound without the reverberation affecting it. Noise level comes into play with oscillating tools, especially when you’re working on an interior and the sound bounces around the room. None of the other 25 models we tested were able to match the MultiMaster in vibration. While I haven’t taken the tool apart to see exactly how it works, it’s very clear that it does. Though there is the faintest hint with no load, it ridiculously low for any multi-tool class.įein accomplishes this through a self-supporting motor with vibration decoupling. When you use the Fein MultiMaster 350 QSL after using any other oscillating tool, it feels like Fein has none at all. There’s a point where you’re giving up build quality for weight loss and Fein does a nice job of balancing the two. There are a handful or models that reach below the 3-pound mark. You can read more details about how it works below.Īt 3.13 pounds, the Fein MultiMaster oscillating tool keeps it in the top 10 for low weight. That’s handy when you just finish a cut and the blade is more than 200°. To put it in a nutshell, Starlock lets you install and eject blades without touching them. For blade changes, Fein employs the Starlock Plus system. With the Multimaster, there’s no one star of the show – it’s a team effort. The only thing our Pro team makes the argument for is the addition of an LED light, mainly for plumbers that use an oscillating tool in tight, dark spaces. While we always encourage innovation, there’s a difference between adding a useful feature and something gimicky.įein sticks to the basics and covers all their bases with a variable speed dial and a dedicated on/off switch instead of a trigger. Oscillating tools aren’t the most feature-rich tools on the planet and they don’t need to be. In a “why mess with a good thing” kind of mentality, the Fein MultiMaster 350 QSL shows just how far ahead of everyone else they are with a 4-year-old design (save for Starlock) that still puts a huge gap on nearly everyone else in the space.
