Ive got the bosch multi tool i would never be with out it

Not as good as the fein but it does the trick

 

[John Benton]

I have the Bosch GOP250 CE Professional and think it's a great bit of kit and does what I nee d it to do. Wouldn't be without it. Can't compare to the Fein as I've never used one.

I have the fein but never used the Bosch, I've heard the Bosch ones are cheaper for blades!

 

[ruairi mac]

I've used both, bosch is ok for cutting pine arcitraves etc, but mine burnt out when i was cutting oak one day. Fein is definitley a top quality tool. If you search the forum for the fein i think theres snother thread on it.

I borrowed a bosch once, but the fein is imo. far better. I use it on every other job

 

[Brinkley]

i have a bosch good piece of kit feins are better though but mine does me nicely

I have had 2 bosch multi cutters both motors burnt out so now have a fein and wouldnt go back

There all fun until you hit a nail!

bosch sounds ok piece of kit, but thinking i might have to dig out a few more pennys for a fein

thanks for replys

 

[foggy34]

got the bosch going well still had it about a year

I started with the bosch for occasional use but found myself using it more than expected (it is a very handy tool), I have since upgraded to the Fein and i can assure you if you save the extra pennies it will be more than worth in the not so long run.


p.s. wanna buy a 2nd hand bosch multi tool.?

 

[doug boardley]

I have the bosch cordless one,

okay for trimming architraves but the fein is a far better piece of kit imo.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

i never realy need them..........but just looking at the tools it would be a fain for me.......

 

[richie b]

will have to be the fein i think

 

[richie b]

gazebo, im gonner get a new fein for myself but a second hand bosch would be good for my younger brother who dose bits for me as im gonner build a few bits up for him, let me know how much you want for it ? also thinking of getting him a second hand ts 60 if anyone got one for sale not gonner get him new stuff incase he looses intrest time will tell

richie b if you do buy the fein, the blades are generally more expensive to replace. But you can buy a unversial bit for it, that will take the cheaper bosch blades

Have the blue Bosch GOP250. Seems pretty much the same as the Fein performance wise although it did burn out a motor when being run off a generator. Would probably go for the Fein if I was doing so again.

If you want a good cheap multi tool then I can recommend the B & Q own brand (McAllister). I got one and it comes with all the cutters and accessories in its own bag...have used it quite a bit and it does a good job. I know the others mentioned a really good but...it costs £35 at the moment...and if you go online you can increase the guarantee to 3 years. A lot of my tools are from B & Q and some have broken after a couple of years but I have just gone back to the store with the receipt and got a new tool either the same or an updated model if the original is no longer made. Cant ask for more than that!!!!
