fein multimaster

[Stan001]

I have the Bosch and used it for removing the bottom of an oak door off in-situ a couple of days back, took a while but faster than removing, planeing and rehanging, especially as the door is so damn heavy.

Agree ref where things are made, my Bosch Multitool fyi is made in Hungary. (fyi the Bosch cutting tools for the multi-tool are made in Poland) Can’t justify the Fein, i have other priority tools to spend my money on as i can’t see any multi-tool doing more than tens of hours a year, its just handy to have for the odd few minutes you need it. If you are not doing grout raking then in hindsight I’d say go for a Roberts jamb saw for removing the bottom of doors and undercut architrave with a hand saw – it takes 2 minutes max by hand.

I have a Bosch GAS 25 (which is one of my most used and valuable / time saving tools – something we never discuss here, i couldn’t work without it!) its absolutely excellent, had it for 2 years. Paid for its keep a thousand times over. It’s made in Germany.

(my other power tools are Makita, made in the UK or Japan, if Makita had a multi-tool, I’d buy it from them)

Fein the worlds fastest pad saw!

Had the fein out today where I had to notch out a stud for a cable in the bathroom i'm doing. I lent the fein out a couple of weeks ago to a mate and i've only just reailsed he messed up the universal blade so it i practically burnt through the timber! Anyway just about to put it down and i thought the blade is knacked anyway so I might as just cut the hole out for the plasterboard backbox, well I had to hold it back it was so keen!!!!

I also had to cut out about 15 or so backboxes for the kitchen i'm fitting and the fein did each one in 10 seconds flat. Now I know cutting out backboxes in plasterboard only take about 1-2 minute each with a pad saw but this was so easy and clean I shall be keeping all my old blades just for this in future.

I have had one for some time now, all I use it for is removing the bottoms of skirting and door linings.
One word of caution the wood cutting blades will blunt in an instant if you hit a nail,
best to use the metal cutting blades.

The electrician I use knows this and is quick to use mine when I'm around!

We have had a fein for years and have finally had a chance to use the bosch this week. Nice enough bit of kit but didn't seem to be as gutsy as the fein and couldn't see it lasting as long.

When a saw blade gets damaged i put it on a grinding wheel and make a sharp flat blade from it. Comes in useful at times.

Fein for me to.
Word of advise use the metal blades as the timber ones instantly blunt if you hit a nail when cutting the bottoms off skirting and door frames.
