I first saw the Fein Multimaster at the Portland Woodworking Show not that 
long ago.  They were having a grand time demoing it -- and letting anyone who 
cared to try it out themselves -- and it was *very* tempting.

There's been a lot of competition with it lately (apparently Fein's patent 
expired?):

Rockwell: 
http://www.amazon.com/Rockwell-RK5100K-Sonicrafter-20-Piece-Kit/dp/B001EYUGM8 
(looks really good)
Dremel: 
http://www.amazon.com/Dremel-6300-01-120-Volt-Multi-Max-Oscillating/dp/B001FORC9C 
(dunno)
Habor Freight (!): 
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=65700 (you're 
lucky if you get what you pay for?)

...and there's always eBay for knock-off Fein inserts... (quality level... who 
knows?)

Nice story about getting your workbench frame built.  I suspect that just 
couldn't be done today, unfortunately. :-(
