you don't want to know...
They will last a while if you stay away from nails and screws.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
thanks for doing the link.by the way , the blades i made work just fine when cutting wood and drywall. interestingly enough, after i plunge a blade thru drywall, i find that the side of the blade (with no teeth) cuts faster than the toothed edge.also, i have found yet another blade that may be suitable as fein replacement....i will keep everyone posted as i attempt to modify it.for the original poster....the multimaster is a specialty tool, designed to do cutting in otherwise impossible places. it is not designed for heavy duty, day in day out cutting.
stick to your sawsall/holehawg combo if all you plan to do is run pipes.visit the fein website before you invest.thx toolman65
I can't remember who turned me on to this, but last year someone posted that they simply use a cuttoff wheel in a dremel to make slits in the face of an old mm blade for cutting drywall. It really does work quite well, even on soft wood if the slits are new and crisp (sharp).
Jewelers saws are available in rougly the same size as the MM circular blade for less than $10 each, but the arbor is larger. With the larger washer headed screw maybe it doesn't matter all that much and would work fine.

i was just at a tool show and dremel will now be making a multimaster knock off. all the accessories will be interchanable i believe. its only $99. the only differnce it seems is that it is not as powerfull as the fein.
