FEIN MultiMaster oscillating multitools are for tradespeople sawing, sanding and removing tile during interior repairs. If you’re moving between those jobs, changing accessories lets you keep working with the same tool. Choose the accessory for the material and the cut.
FEIN is C. & E. Fein GmbH, an independent family-run company. Wilhelm Emil Fein and his brother Carl founded it as a mechanical workshop in Stuttgart in 1867. Its headquarters in Schwäbisch Gmünd-Bargau house its largest production site, with other manufacturing sites in Asia and North America. The company specializes in power tools and accessories for metalworking and interior work.
Blades and sanding pads for the repair
FEIN offers multitool accessories for work that includes sawing wood and metal. The mounting system and the material you’re cutting both matter. Choosing by blade shape alone is an easy mistake. Match the mount, then the blade’s stated application.
For a small repair cut, secure anything loose and establish the cut with light pressure. Let the teeth work. Forcing a small blade makes it harder to follow your line, especially when you’re trying to preserve the surrounding finish.
Sanding is another MultiMaster application. For trim work, keep the pad flat where the surface allows and use light pressure near edges. Bearing down on a corner can round over a detail you wanted to keep.
Choose the MultiMaster around its accessories
Accessory compatibility is a practical reason to choose one MultiMaster series over another. The series that accepts Starlock Max also accepts Starlock and Starlock Plus. That broader fit matters when a particular accessory is part of your planned work. Start with the job and the accessory it calls for, then match its mount to the series in the table.
Dedicated tools for metalworking
For dedicated metalworking, FEIN also makes single-speed magnetic core drills and a 14-inch Slugger metal-cutting saw.

Frequently Asked Questions
What blades fit a FEIN MultiMaster?
The blades that fit your FEIN MultiMaster depend on its accessory mount. Compatibility varies across Starlock, Starlock Plus and Starlock Max, so the brand name alone isn’t enough to establish a fit. Once the mount matches, the blade’s stated application needs to match the material you’re cutting.
How do you use a FEIN MultiMaster?
To use a FEIN MultiMaster, disconnect the power before fitting an accessory matched to the tool and the job. Secure the work and use light pressure instead of forcing the accessory through it. Before you make a plunge cut, establish what’s behind the surface so you aren’t cutting into something hidden.
Is there a cordless FEIN MultiMaster?
Yes, you can get a cordless FEIN MultiMaster. Battery compatibility depends on the particular tool, so batteries you already own need a confirmed match. FEIN participates in AMPShare, but that doesn’t establish compatibility for every cordless tool it makes.
Where are FEIN tools made?
FEIN’s largest production site is at its headquarters in Schwäbisch Gmünd-Bargau, Germany, and it also has manufacturing sites in Asia and North America. You can’t assume an individual tool is German-made just because the company is German.
