After watching the Fein MultiMaster infomercial the other night, and being in possession of a $34.99 coupon, I decided to buy the Harbor Freight version.
After sorting through the included attachments, I got a bit confused.
Which attachment do I use to turn a small storage room into a fully tricked out bathroom like the one in the Fein infomercial?
Can the HF Multifunction Tool do that or should I have gone with the Fein?
*You get what you pay for. Those infomercials can be quite deceiving or sometimes they don't tell you everything. The Fein comes with a customizing bathroom attachment. They sell it separately as an accessory item if you don't buy the full kit. I think it lists for around $5000.00. It only takes me ten minutes to remodel an entire bathroom now.
If I took my $34.99 model to a machine shop, do you think they could fabricate an adapter so I can attach the $5K Fein accessory to the Harbor Freight tool?

Yeah, sure, but it'll cost you about $4,960.

Of course they could. Even the finest fabricator shops use the HF MF tool.
Look on the shelves in this untouched [:-)] photograph. Sure it looks like it's just floating there. It is an amazing tool ya know. Note the players.
Most machine shop folks can custom fit stuff. Some, won't have the skills to do so. Sounds cheaper than buying the Fein, when all is said and done.
The feet on my tool don't go all the way to the ground either.
Feet? I didn't get any feet. Man, this isn't working out at all!
