I was wondering.... seems like it might be good for repairs like reaching around areas to cut others, etc. I could buy one for one project on the house but don't want to spend the money if it's not good for plane building too. It's only available on TV (one of those late night can't sleep infomercials) but it actually looks like it's pretty useful. Just wondering. Thanks for responding. Oh, and can anyone tell me how to turn off the email responses from one of the post that's really popular and is running over my email box?

sorry No idea what the tool might look like, as late hour Tv is illegal here. too many hours needed for model building. in addition most of the Super Good Deals are good for the seller only and end up in the unused corner anyhow. nothing beats a straight edge, tri angles. dick

I "Googled" the Multi Master tool and found it. Looks like a very nice tool for many jobs, including modeling applications, and made by Fein, a very high quality manfacturing company, but at a price of $400 ("only 4 easy payments of $99.95 each"), I believe I can wait for Harbor Freight to offer a Chinese knock-off of the tool.

Tharks HM. The infomercial said " you won't pay $350 like you would for a ______" so I was assuming it was 200 to 250. But they never said the price and when I called the toll free number the next day from cell phone I couldn't get through. I wanted to find out the price. Guess I'll just use the tools I've got and save my money.

Dremel already offers a version for $99.00. Available at your local Home Depot. Works great...

Thanks Ram. I'll go check it out.

I bought one a few years back for detail work on moldings in our house. First off, though made very well, tough, heavy duty, it's just not a great tool. Not all that useful. The little sanding pads wear out fast and the velcro on the attachment that they go on wears out too, then the sanding pads just fall off. There's a few cutting attachments, but for most stuff they are useless. I can easily say I could have got by without it.

Knowing what it does, I can't say that I can think of anything it would do very well building models. I've never used it to build a kit, and I can't think of anything where there isn't a better cheaper tool. You're way better off spending the money on a nice scroll saw or a bunch of hand tools.

I would have to agree with Smithcreek. I bought a similar item at Sears several years ago for a home project. I tried it once or twice and returned it to the store. It definitely wasn't worth the money, and it wasn't $300.00

Get a decent scroll saw and a dremel, you'll spend less and be better off.
