FEIN, the global power tools and accessories manufacturer, has announced its MultiMaster oscillating multi-tool range is available on the 18v AMPShare battery platform, powered by Bosch, since October.
Migrating MultiMaster over to AMPShare enables FEIN to continue keeping its primary focus on developing market leading power tools that provide innovative and efficient solutions for end users, across the construction, trades and metalworking sectors.
The AMPShare battery platform complement FEIN’s MultiMaster by ensuring high performance, due to an enhanced power source, enabling the tool to operate at maximum efficiency.
Andy Mills, managing director of FEIN UK, comments: “This is an incredibly exciting move for us, which will strengthen our 18v cordless portfolio. We understand that our end users want the freedom to choose the best tool for the job, rather than being tied into a single manufacturer’s battery platform. By making our original multi-tool available on the AMPShare platform, we are opening this product up to 60 million+ batteries on the market.
“It also means we can get back to doing what we do best, which is focusing on developing the next generation of power tools to revolutionise the way those across the construction, trades and metalworking sectors work.”
AMPShare power the 18v MultiMaster 500 and 700 series. The MultiMaster family continues to be compatible with a total of 180 accessories, enabling end users to complete a range of jobs with just one tool.
The MultiMaster series has the ability to saw wood, metal and plastics, while also cutting out tiles, silicone joints and carpets rapidly to precision, and removing adhesive residues and tile adhesive, using Starlock and Starlock plus accessories.
The 700 series is FEIN’s most powerful multi-tool and is designed for the toughest requirements. It comes in various packages, including up to 60 accessories, making it ideal for all levels of the construction process and everyone from general builders and roofers, to plumbers, carpenters and electricians. It’s also compatible with Starlock, Starlock plus and Starlock Max accessories.
Andy concludes: “The strategic decision to open up the MultiMaster to the AMPShare battery platform is an extremely important step for us. FEIN has always attached great value to high-quality and safe power tools with a long service life. This is the very reason we went looking for the leading battery platform available – which we found in AMPShare.”
With over 150 years’ experience in manufacturing power tools, FEIN has a rich history of innovation and provides high levels of support to dealers, along with application-based solutions for end users in the construction and metalworking sectors.
Since FEIN invented the MultiMaster over 50 years ago, it has been a huge success worldwide. FEIN now supplies this tool in three performance classes, each available as both mains-powered and cordless versions, split into the MultiMaster 300, 500 and 700. Users value the multi-tool as a universal problem solver for sawing, sanding, polishing, dividing, filing, scraping, cutting and cleaning applications. When it comes to special applications, professionals such as carpenters, painters and interior fitters rely on MultiMaster, as do metalworkers and fitters.
