Which is the best multi tool ,also corded or battery

 

[Mike Jackson]

Battery is no good for multi tools, corded every time. The king of multi tools is the Fein Multimaster.

Whos'e the king of reciprocating saws? Fancy one for cutting into floorboards.

I believe the Milwaukee sawzall is pretty good. Better than makita haven't used any others though col

I have the corded Fein multi tool which is the tool less blade change (you just flick a lever to unlock the blade). I got the full kit version, as it is worth the extra few pounds for all the kit.
Don't get a cordless multi tool, unless you are going to do very tiny jobs where cables are a problem, like on roofs.

My mate bought the Bosch cordless multisaw, and he's not happy with it. I have the corded one which is cheaper, and it's great. Fein invented the tool, and owned the patent until it expired recently. That's why Fein used to be the only people who could make them, and charge a lot for the privilage.

I've used both the Fein and my Bosch. There's a bit of a difference, but there's no way I'd pay the extra to get a Fein. It's a big difference.

I've got a Hitachi one which copes with everything I throw at it.

Lidl do a corded multi tool (think under the name Parkside).
It comes with assorted blades. It was about £30, which has to be a bargain as the blades are costly alone!
If you only need to use one for just the odd time, this is at a throw away price.
Trouble is, Lidl sell out of them straight away, so get in early on the day.

Cheapest blades I've found come from Machine Mart. £11 for a pack of about 5. The bosch ones go blunt almost as quick but cost £8 a blade.

I use the Milwaukee 12v multi tool. I'm pretty impressed with it. I only bought it beacause I had other 12v battery tools but I'm happy I did.

I've got the worx one (corded) I like it and it was fairly cheap

Always a downer when you discover you could have had a better deal!
Parkside tools from Lidl are actually Einhell tools (says on the booklet with them), but, as you would expect, they are probably made in China. What I think of multi tools is that most people will only need them for wee jobs, like cutting a skirting in situ or a floorboard on top of a joist, or plywood wall panel, so only going to get a few minutes work.

too right, came in a nice tool box as well for £17+!!

got it for odd bit of laminate and chopping hard to reach pipes etc.
had it a month and still not been out the box, but for the price you never know!

i have used most makes of mains and cordless rip saws over the years (first one i had was a bosch about 15 years ago) and milwaukee gets my vote, tho they are all very good from most brands.

i have the bosch gop 300, its very good.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

i have a battery Bosch gop which is lame and a 240v worx sonicrafter which is awesome

I have had the Bosch DIY version (in the green box) for three years . I install loads of bathrooms and it gets used on every job. It has got me out of lots of scrapes. However it has always felt like it is struggling. My electrician has a Fein which I tried a couple of weeks ago. It was in a different league and felt like a professional tool. I like the tool free blade change - the Bosch needs an Allen key.

I think my crimbo present to me might be a Fein

The blades are expensive, but they pay for themselves in the time they save.

I have tried blades from Saxton which are cheaper and seem to last nearly as well.
