Question about the Fein Multimasters Help!!

[sessler2013]

I have been looking for a Fein Multimaster and have come across two that look exactly the same but one is 150$$ more.

THE: Fein FMM 250Q SELECT PLUS MultiMaster Oscillating Tool Select Plus Kit with FREE Long-Life E-Cut Blade Set 299$

And The: Fein 72293750150 Multimaster Oscillating Tool Select Plus Kit 149$

They both appear to come with a lot of the same accessories and have the same OPM Range and power consumption 250W

I found these two on the www.CPOFein.com

It is the same tool they just come in different sets.

I don't understand the pricing for the $149 set. Normally the Fein comes in different sets, with different sawblades or other accessories. As the blades cost a lot, the sets can vary widely in price.

But these two sets seem to be the same tool with the exact same accessories, except that for the cheaper set there's no box mentioned. Normally these boxes don't cost you $150.

Getting a tool cheaper is always nice of course. In this case I'd make really sure I'd know what the packages contain. I'd email the seller for more information about both kits before making a purchase.

Caveat emptor.

The cheaper one is reduced to $134 now. The difference seems to be that the lower priced one is an "Open Box". If you click on the item the details describe what that means. Basically it could be a recon or customer return, etc.
