7 weeks ago I bought one of the HarborFreight multifunction tools meant to be a clone of the Fein multi. I waited till now to say anything about it until I gave it some fair run time. To date, I have about 4 hours of actual run time with it.
When I bought this one it was on sale and I used a 15% coupon too. Total cost was $27.60 (tax included).
I must say I have been pleasantly surprised. I can tell it has a lot less oscillations compared to a Fein I have used but it sure does any task at hand I've thrown at it. I've used it for various repairs around the house as well as a some applications is the shop.
It comes with a scraper, sanding pad, saw blade and cutting disc. It also included a set of replacement brushes should you need any in the future.
I must say I'm very pleased with it so far - especially for the price. Even if it tanks later, I can still buy 2 more and still be well below the cost of the Dremel unit. I could probably buy 10 of these for the cost of the original Fein.
I can't imagine I would use one enough to justify buying one of "higher quality". My brother-in-law has been using it beyond my 4 hours as well. He said he is going to go get one also.
Bottom line - if you need one for occasional use, I think it is a good option.
