The history of FEIN is the history of power tools.
In 1867 Wilhelm Emil Fein founded a company for the manufacture of physical and electrical apparatus where his son, Emil Fein, invented the first electric hand drill in 1895, barely 30 years later. With this invention he laid the foundation for the highly reliable power tools that FEIN continues to manufacture in Germany and for which this tradition-rich company is respected in trade and industry throughout the world.
FEIN has been among the world's leading power tool manufacturers for over 150 years. FEIN is always at the cutting edge of innovation, and FEIN places the highest demand on itself to produce the best quality and most durable power tools on the market.

The rule also says that HEPA vacs need to be used with tools that sand or grind lead paint. Contractors should assume that any home built before 1978 contains lead paint unless testing shows it does not.
