Bosch or Fein

[gnselectricals]

Hi fellas as the title says im looking at getting at multi tool either the bosch 240 GOP or the Fein quick release multimaster, so looking for your opinions to point me in the right direction.
Also if anyone knows the cheapest deals for either at the moment

Cheers Gram

I have a Fein and love it. You can get the basic version for around the same price as the corded Bosch. I used to own the 10.8v Bosch and apart from been great for plasterboard, wouldn't recommend it over corded.

The basic 'Start' is here : Fein FMM 250 240V MultiMaster Start - Power Tools, Multi-Tools / MultiTools, Fein Professional Tools which I believe uses the same blades as the Bosch, but if you go for the slightly more expensive Fein you get the quick release option but more expensive blades : Fein MultiMaster Basic 110V & Case - Power Tools, Multi-Tools / MultiTools, Fein Professional Tools

Also a few days ago their was a thread on here for compatable blades which should be useful either way you go.

Liked the look of the Fein and was going for that when I was offered a good deal on the Bosch prof 240 for £70 including vat so could not turn that down and have found it to be an excellent tool so far.

Got the 'green' Bosch, had it a few years now. Excellent piece of kit. If and when it dies I'll get the 'Blue' Bosch one.
