Fein or Bosch multi tool

[beanz]

Bri, Wickes even do one now... It's just a bit tricky getting hold of the blades at the moment. Then there's Erbaur (not sure on the spelling!?!), which take all the blades!! 😉

I tried the Aldi £30 one, seems pretty good tbh.

don't get the cordless bosch one Bri whatever you do,,got to go down as one of my biggest wastes of money ever. Fein (corded) is superb though.

Ive had 2 of the green bosch multitools (180)i had a good bit of use out the first one so when that eventually packed up i decided to buy a replica being it only cost £70 ish.The second one only lasted about 4 months and it hadnt had that much abuse.So i didnt know weather to buy the bosch 250 or the fein.Ive never heard one bad review of the fein so done a bit of looking around on the net and managed to get the basic set (bag instead of box) for £110 plus vat -£132 +£6 delivery.Only used a couple of times yet but it does seem a solid piece of gear.:smilewinkgrin:

I've had the corded DIY version of the Bosch multi tool for roughly 5 years now, And its still going strong , its cut more solid oak than mdf no burn out yet!

I have the Bosch GOP250 but would probably get the Fein next time. The GOP burnt itself out after a few months and since getting the motor replaced it's been a bit rattley ever since. 3 year warranty though so for £110 it won't really owe me anything. The £30 ones have a good motor but only have 4 lugs to set the blade into rather than the 20ish the Bosch has. They shear lugs easily too but well worth the money.

 

[afright]

I have both the Bosch and Fein but always use the Fein love the long lead it has.

Had my Fein quite a while now , no complaints here but it is deffo better machine than the bosch pf180 i used to use.

I see Makita do one as well! Just to throw another option into the mix!

Have you tried the Makita one Bri? I have replaced most of my stuff with Makita 18v litium ion and the multi cutter was going to be my next purchase.

I have the bosch pmf180 and i find it ok but not that great, had it about 18months and its been replaced once.

I've had a look online but not used one. It's a similar price to the fein so of the two, I'd probably choose the fein. The Bosch is half the price so was thinking it would be a good option if it was up for the job, a few people seem to be saying they have burnt theirs out. I think a fein is the one to go for by the looks of what others have said.
