If your business is flooring, then you will absolutely wonder how the heck you ever got along without it before.

Flooring, window renovation or any work in tight spaces at all. I use it to first cut the old putty off windows, then scrape paint and then to do the final detail sanding. The accessories for the fein multimaster cost a fortune but I factor that into my quote so that each job pays for a couple extra bits each time. If you do get one you have to get the quick release version as it's way more convenient IMO. The next toy in my wish list that's a multi purpose is a roto zip. I can see about a million uses for one.

Yup, it has a cult following on here. I have one and if it got lost or stolen I would buy another straight away. Handiest thing when hanging off a 30 foot ladder.

Is this a mis-type, or is that what Hilti claims.......As opposed to Ft./Pounds? 
Never have I heard the term Inch/Pounds.

ya I'm pretty sure inch/pounds is correct since most high torque impact drivers have about 1000 in/lbs of torque
these are almost always higher torque than cordless drills
Also i have to agree that the DeWalt cordless finish nailers are lifesavers... especially for small jobs in cluttered areas

I am used to tools, real tools that use Ft/Pounds or Newton/Meters as a measurement.
The average pneumatic-impact wheel lug gun has 550 FT/Pounds of torque.
That equates to 6600 Inch/Pounds. Do ya see where I am going with this?????????
57.5 Ft/Pounds taint much!

Biiiiiig difference between an air impact and a cordless drill (not even an impact driver at that). My DeWalt impact driver has around 1170 in/pounds (~97 ft/pounds) which is alot more than most cordless drills. My cordless impact wrench has about 300 ft/lbs of torque. Most drills are rated in in., but anything higher is associated with ft.

Fein Supercut (big brother to multi-master) If I could only have one tool that would be it.
Festool plunge cut saw & guide rail. Makes an average skilled guy look like Norm Abram.
Bosch Impactor
Schluter Ditra (technically not a tool but life changing none the less)
Tajima chalk lines

you're right, hilti definitely don't make real tools, and to showcase this, lets compare it to an air tool . by your logic, i might as will throw alway my 13 amp corded right angle drill, and buy an impact drill. for what it's worth i'm a plumber, which means i spend a lot of time drilling holes (wood,concrete) , and as far as CORDLESS tools go, there's nothing on the market that can compete. big difference between driving screws, and drilling with a 2-9/16" self feed bit, or a 4-1/2" hole saw. if i'm feeling lazy, and i don't feel like starting the generator, and running a power cord for few holes, i reach for my fake cordless tool, and she will chew up everything in site. i've yet to see a 24-34v drill with that much balls.... you can't be serious
