    Fein Multimaster, why so expensive?

    Great point, what I was getting at all along, $400 tools are protected by patent (cost pennies on the dollar) is one thing, then charging 1000% markup on tooling, great you have protection for nearly 20 years, great. Now that the JIG is up (patent protection), imitators flood the market for...

    Fein Multimaster, why so expensive?

    There are two good models for tool marketing and 1 TERRIBLE (IMO). The good are either expensive tool/cheap accessible, or cheap tool/expensive accessory. The bad is the FEIN model: expensive tool/expensive accessory. I have talked to many MM owners, none have said that the tooling is an OK...

    Fein Multimaster, why so expensive?

    I don't understand why the Fein Multimaster is so expensive. It is a grinder body, what is the most expensive 4 1/2 angle grinder that you can buy? I get that the whole category was CREATED by Fein. They have had nearly 20 years to recoup those costs because of their patent rights (tooling...

    EXTREMELY disappointed in Starrett today.

    Unacceptable, profit without quality. Well done we can't reward namebadging with US made premiums.

    About to sheetrock.... have a couple questions

    I do the ceiling first, because the walls **** up to the ceiling and support against possible sag. 5/8 SR is "fire rated", if you had an attached garage it would be code required, but I would still recommend 5/8 just for span. You didn't mention wall height: 8' (trim the top of tapered edge if...

    3 in 1 Brake, shear, roller OR Just a box Brake?

    I bought a 3 in one for a shop. $400 for an import. I liked it quite a bit for light gauge, not a great shear or slip roller, but the brake was good. It was tricky to make a box with it because of clearances though. I had a shear and apron break that would do 10 ga. Hope this helped.

    I also use a bench grinder for drill bit sharpening and love the smell of HSS any time of the day! :)

    what's all the hype about with HF?

    I buy some tools at HF with these rules; No moving parts, non-critical use (bench brush good, air hose bad) some moving parts but so cheap I can buy 20/1, also not something I use every day (pneumatic) NOTHING and I mean nothing with a circuit in it. Just my $0.02
