Hi David, Fein made the original one (MultiMaster) and there's a infomercial about it that probably airs every weekend. http://allprofein.com/index.php/fein/multimaster/fein-fmm250qtop-multimaster-top.html?gclid=CKLnpvzkmqACFQQNDQodXU0QYg Jon Page was the first person I remember mentioning it. The Fein is expensive--the kit which includes the better model, some attachments and a case is $400. The nice thing about the better Fein model (there are two models, at least) is how the attachments are connected to the tool. It's a fast connect, so you don't need an allen wrench or whatever to attach the blades. A number of folks on the list have mentioned the Harbor Freight knock-off for cheap. I bought the Dremel version (because it had a nice case and I need all the organizing help I can get--I still have to put it in the case, though). But at first I had a problem with the attachments loosening up. I guess I'm a weeny at tightening. I added a lock washer and it solved my problem (of the attachments coming loose, not being a weeny). I like the Dremel version of the tool because it is smaller and lighter (& cheaper) than the Fein--and the Dremel got a good review in an article where a number of multi-master/max tools were tested. I haven't used it much, but when I have, it's been pretty swell.
