I've owned the very first version of this tool. Everything just works! and works REALLY well. It's so well thought out with the right power and ergonomics you can't help but be assured they have really field tested this over the years and improved on a a great platform and foundation. This is also the type of tool you'll own for a long time because they have come up with SO MANY USES for it. So, if you can, save your money up, it will cost around 22% more but you'll get a lifetime of use, more options, and be able to sell your previous model without a question if you move up to a newer model someday. You also get through to REAL people if you call them for advice of any kind. Dare I say this is one "Fein" company! Most highly recommended.
