Is this sort of MultiMaster what you’re talking about, sol? That does look pretty sweet.

For cuts, clearing out gouges, and such I just bust out my trusty Dremel and for sanding, just regular sandpapre and elbow greese.

Yes , Rob thats the tool mine is by chagaco tools and under 50 bucks at harbor freight.
much easer to cut into the foam and follow the box than my dremall but i still used my dremall on the top and bottom of box as its 1/2 rounded..
bot that ghost keeps me working on hs boards hahaha i think there is a nose repair next..

I can see where the multitool would be very handy but geez they are expensive.

Yeah, the Fein version is expensive. But it's an amazing tool. But if you're not going to be using it every day and abusing it, you won't see any difference between that one and the Dremel brand MultiMax. It's the exact same thing as the Fein, just made by Dremel, and it doesn't come with as many attachments. And the nice thing about it is it's only $100. And as Sol said, they also have a Chicago version that they sell at Harbor Freight.
I set up the product demo at work (Home Depot) for the Multimax a while back and I've played with it a bunch. It really is neat. It really shines on flush cuts and grout removal, and I'm really liking the sanding attachment too.

I can definitely see how it could come in handy in ding repair :)

i do most my repairs with a dremel and a mouse sander. So this is pretty much a dremel/sander in 1? I got so many tools do I reallly need another one, hahaha :D. +1 for chicago tools. Some decent tools for the freakishly low prices they have on there.
