have been looking at this tool and have found that bosch have just brought out a "similar" tool it retails at £60(b&q) although you will need to buy a few more tools as you only get a few with it. it does look a bit more bulky than the fein but worth a look at.(fein pattent has run out so look out for more ariving on the market soon:8:

I bought a Bosch due to the price of the bits for the Fein because I use it all the time. My opinion is forget the Bosch because the Fein is 10 x the tool. It's the old adage you get what you pay for. I flogged the Bosch and I am back with the Fein for good.

yes i got one today and it looks like a real quality tool apart from the blades which look like something fisher price would make. the blades look like they will only last for a couple of times and thay are expensive for replacements.

Have you bought the star attachment for it?

The most important thing with the Fein is to allow the machine to do the work. So many people go at it like a bull in a china shop. Let the machine work for you and the blades and attachments will last a lot longer The blades are much cheaper in multiple packs by the way.

Ordered mine yesterday from Neil at www.buybrandtools.com, got a regrout to do soon so i'll give it a go on that.

I think I should get shares in the company! I must have spent about £800 on bits for thing in the last 2 1/2 years since I've had it. Enough to buy 4 new Feins:huh2:

i've got a bosche multi tool, that was around £80, works just as good imo!

brand new multimaster, i used it today on a job to remove adhesive from the walls of a shower(small section). works ok but would not take all the adhesive off, only the top section. i imagine it would struggle with floor adhesive. good tool but a bit underpowered me thinks. that or its just the crappy blades.

Depends what blade you used, i would have used the abrasive blade. Its a tool though and not a magic wand.

 

[steve9999]

yes its a brand new kit and i used the correct carbide blade for removing the adhesive, and no its not a magic wand, but you do expect it to do what it says on the tin and remove the adhesive.

 

[Gazzer]

Mine removes adhesive nicely.
