Do any guys find the vibration from the fein with long usage tends to be to much.....

Yep same as when I'm cutting the hedges at home, from my shoulders down they seem to be buzzing for a couple of hours.

I used my mates Fein the other day, and was thinking just that. Never really noticed it with the Bosch, but it may have just been the job i was doing with it at the time... Can't be sure really!?!

A guy (can't remember who) put on a post about vibration of tools and it quoted that a about 1 hours worth of vibration you must allow 8 hours rest.

I worked in a Pallet yard for a bit, years ago. Was on a reciprocating saw most of the day.. After a couple of months, the joints in my hands started to play up. Did all the tests and couldn't find anything wrong, but jacked it in anyway. Still have problems first thing in the morning (not always, but regular enough to be a nuisance), and can take a good half hour before they loosen up!?!

Well I never knew you can use the Fein to cut your hedges ,do they do a blade for cutting hedges then,lol.:lol:

You're laughing but they do one for topiary, trimming small bushes, hhhmmmmm indeed. Not really.

I meant same sensation as after cutting hedges with trimmers

Yep, my GOP250 shakes the arm off me when using the 65mm blade.

Fein for me, had it 3 years still going strong. My chippy mate bought the bocsh after using mine but say changing the blades a pain as you need an Allen key.
I use the shark blades from flee bay as the're half the price of fein and fit both machines.

I've been thinking of buying one of these but Iv been fine without one for years. Just need a good excuse and £200 spare.

The first model of the Fein which I still have, you have to use an Allen key still find it ok.

I have had both and Fein is hands down absolutely twice the machine of a bosch. But unless your gonna use it for more than just re-grouting then the bosh will work fine.

Are you all talking about the blue Bosch or green Bosch? Green one is 180w and blue is 250. Think there's a new 300w one out now too.
