Hello mate, I have always used the Fein and would never be without it but is cost doesnt allow then I have herd pretty good things about the Bosch. Might be worth having a look at.

i got the bosch from amazon for about 60 quid. great piece of kit, probably not as good as the fein but a third of the price

Re: ossalating tool

thanks guys will have a look at the bosch one. for an extra £20 on a draper there is no contest.

Re: ossalating tool

Im pretty sure that the blades are a fraction of the price of the Feins as well.

Re: ossalating tool

bosch one looks good but seen this cordless one on b&q. do you think it will have enough power. thought it might be good if i get any site work as i am upgrading my tools to 110v only want it to cut architrave bottoms off on floor instalations.
i will get 20% off as the old queen bee works at b&q :smilewinkgrin:

I take it thats the cordless one, how long to charge and use up the power..

looks a good bit of kit with quite a few accessories. might have to stretch the budget.

Have a Bosch -- accessories are half the price of fein, must have for cutting architraves and grout removal

tbh Mark, the batteries do use up the power quite quickly, but I also got a drill with mine so I've always got at least one battery fully charged or on charge when I use it. The charging time is about 20 mins.

Too be fair , Blades and accessories can be bought from third party manufacturers and so far prove as good if not better than the original Fein blades.

i seen this adapter on ebay which would enable the fein to take (cheaper) bosch blades Universal Adapter for Bosch blades on FEIN Multimaster | eBay

i have the older Fein which takes other blades without the adapter..

Bought the blue Bosch GOP250 for around £120. Same power and build quality of the Fein and identical performance. Rate it very highly. Used to have a green Boscsh PMF but it felt pretty underpowered.
