I consided getting a fein when I started working on my pos, but after using a cut-off wheel on a die grinder or angle die grinder couldn't justify the cost for the tool or the blades. I kind of figured it would lead a pretty short life covered in fiberglass dust.
That being said my dad uses one for his tile/flooring business and he loves it.

01-10-2010 11:29 PMThe Fein is the best but if I was doing the stuff you guys do (kicks the crap out of the tools) I would just go with the off the Home Depot shelf ones. I have the Bosche unit. It works great but is batter powered so would probably not be that great for what you guys do. Bits seem to be as good as the Fein but a LOT less money.

01-11-2010 08:21 PMHey Dave, First off congrats at the worlds. Second, thanks for helping Jbonz out with his Scout. About that fein tool, their usually only for sale at local woodworking shops and they jack the price up pretty good their. Their is an actual marine kit at http://www.toolhouseinc.com/ . I bought mine at tylertool.com about 2 years ago for 250. I think its about 200 now but i have to say it is one of the best most durable tools i have used. Just make sure you have blades laying around because if you go to the store to by them, you will be upset.

01-11-2010 09:04 PMCan't help with a local dealer, but Hartville Hardware sells all kind of tools and is where I got mine. They shipped it and I had it within a couple days. Their website is: www.hartvillehardware.com/
For replacement blades try: http://www.multiblades.com/index.html
Prices are reasonable and they ship in a timely manner.
