This has a price tag of about 400 bucks. Think its worth it?

also, heres a video of the tool from ask the builder.
Kind of limited in tools the 4 speed gearbox is pretty interesting though. The only thing is expansion under their battery platform is limited to the Fein Multimaster and Impact Wrenches. Is it just me or does their impact wrenches look exactly the same as the old Milwaukee M18 units? Except where the battery attaches I’m 99.9% that’s a Milwaukee tool just orange instead of red. http://www.fein-uk.co.uk/en_uk/fastening/impact-wrenches/
I’d say it’s worth it if you only need a drill, but most likely down the line you will want to add a tool here and there. I’d go with Somthing more mainstream like milwaukee, dewalt, metabo, or hilti ect. I think it’s kinda bulky looking
That thing is nicely featured. Very powerful and has the highest rpm I’ve seen for any cordless drill.

The rpm is what caught my eye, I’d like to try running a few self tapping screws with it and see how it performs.
Certainly no hands on with it, but Fein as a brand is good stuff. Very high quality.

I’ve tried it at a tool fair last year, it’s pretty good as said above though it’s quite bulky, as for the RPM I’ve had a 4 speed Protool ( now rebranded festool it’s sister company) for the last 3 years it has the same gearing and speeds coupled with a brushless motor and it’s far less bulky than the fein.
