Multi Tool

[ruston]

The light and the soft start are brilliant to be honest. That is what sold it to me, and it is a sturdy bit of kit that has paid it's way over and over again.
I need a kicking for being so mean years ago. ( although I had access to one , but not mine)

That's what I say to my financial manager/wife if it saves me 3 mins a week I can get home earlier to help her out. It's never about a shiny new tool [emoji23]

i got myself one today from machine mart, im a little bit gutted as the lidl one is 300w whereas mine is only 250w. But i suppose the returns policy is going to be better with machine mart ect.

That's the one I have, does the job day in day out no problems. Just go somewhere else for your replacement blades though.

The lidl power tools have a 3 year warranty but don't know anyone who has claimed on it. I might buy one to see how useful it is!

£80 Bosch 240v beast and I have a Milwaukee m12 multi to very pleased !

+1 for the Fein, the case is also well thought out with plenty of space for blades and accessories which is not always the case (Bosch please take note)

I have the Bosch Professional GOP 300 SCE,

Absolutely brilliant bit of kit, i use it frequently and it is very good. You can cut through floor boards with ease, plasterboard too etc, really really good.

About dust extraction, erm... If cutting plasterboard, they do make a bit of dust, yes its minimal but can fog the room a little bit in the local area to the work. They are very good.

To combat dust I have just purchased this vacuum with every tool attachment for all my kit, im 100% Bosch now, this is the Bosch GAS 35 MAFC Vacuum

We use the Bosch corded and 18v. Both have a quick release so need need for an allen key to change blades. You can get a slightly cheaper corded bosch which you do need an allen key for.

The 10.8v bosch just isn't powerful enough for using on floorboards and the like, so I would recommend 18v or corded for sparks.

In regard to using it on plasterboard, for some reason plasterboard seem to rinse through the blades so don't use decent expensive blades, Saxon do a well priced budget range of blades as do Screwfrix

hi lad can u cut steel with a multi tool ie slots in metal consumer units etc my old jig saw stopped working thanks

 

[billy10]

You can get metal blades that you can use in your multi tool, in my experience they don't last very long tho.
