After seeing the sanding kit, I started checking out the tool itself.  To my surprise, the Multi-Max included the sanding kit.  This is a great value, as the sanding kit sold for $12 and included the tool head, and six different sand papers- three different wood sanding grains, and three different paint sanding grains.

At that point I was sold, as I knew that I will be having to sand down some paint blemishes in the near future.  At $99, I would have to spend more than I would for the DeWalt orbital sander, but I would be able to use it for many more tasks than I would have with a specialty tool.

However, the sanding kit was not the only accessories that were included with the tool.  It also came packaged with a wood/metal flush cut blade and a flexible scraper.  The flush cut blade will come in handy for- you guessed it- making flush cuts.  While simple sounding, it is actually very difficult to make flush cuts.  Whether using a sawzall, a hacksaw, or a pair of pliers/cutters, cutting a screw or nail so that it is even with the surface can be tricky.  The flexible scraper will also come in handy for removing caulk, paint, or adhesives.

Also packaged with the tool was an accessory sheet, detailing the various tool-heads that are available for the Multi-Max.  Among them are five different flush cut blades, for wood, metal, or both.  They come in a variety of sizes.  There is also a 3” wood/drywall saw, which I plan on buying.  For those of you who have ever cut out the sheetrock for an old-work electrical box, you could imagine how nice it would be to have a tool that would make the job less laborious. 

Along with the flexible scraper I already mentioned, there is also a ridgid scraper available.  This can be used for removing varnish, layers of paint, or even carpeting.  Grinding heads are also sold, one made from diamond and one of carbide.  These can both be used on thinset and cement.  The former can also grind mortar, while the latter can handle plaster and wood.  Furthermore, there are also two different grout removal tools available.

As for the tool itself, the Dremel Mulit-Max performed flawlessly for the task at hand.  I am very happy with the quality of the tool.  Its speed can be varied, anywhere from 2,000-10,000 RPM.  This is a feature that was not available on the lower priced orbital saws.  I was able to get the planed-down doors looking as though they were still factory-cut.  But the true sense of satisfaction came from knowing that I will be using this tool again in the near future.
