Another multi tool

It's brand is "Worx"
made for BnQ exclusively.....apparantly.

its DIY stuff......ok, if used once or twice a year. :lol:
 
After splashing out so much on the fein for then the bosch to come out so much cheaper and then countless others even cheaper than that (think an aldi one for £25 was the cheapest so far) I started to get a bit pee'd off but then recently I was talking to a chippy who also had the fein, he said whilst on another site he had a race of his fein against another guys bosch (as you often do to prove who has the biggest tool :lol🙂 apparently the fein left the bosch for dust (excuse the pun!).

Which is good to hear and justifies the extra cost of the fein, assuming you use the tool for many different tasks as I tend to. If you just use it to say cut the bottoms of architrave or cutting the odd damaged tile out, then I think you can't go far wrong with the above or a real cheapy as you're not likely to use it for longer than a couple of minutes at a time.
 
I can recommend the Aldi version, great value and I use it more than my Fein but maybe it is due to it being 240v and easier to use on domestics.

That's all I use mine for which is why I got the Bosch cordless. It would be useless for a re grouting job but for me it's perfect
 
I gave one of the joiners a shot of my fein the qther day, he was very impressed after being dissapointed with others (bosch i think) I like the weight of the bosch but it certainly dosent cut as quick as the fein. My reasoning for this is the sheer weight of the tool, as the blade on these machines recipitates, it has a counter motion transfered directly back to the tool, the more counter motion directed back = loss of cutting motion, this is more apparent in lighter machines!
 
I've got a work one. Picked it up in the same b&q clearance sale by the look of it but got mine last summer. Decent enough tool and had no problems so far. Can you really go wrong for £50? I couldn't justify £250+ for a Fein when I don't use it every day/job. Mine came with an adapter too to use Fein/Bosch blades.
