Cheap multitool blades

[Smugley]

Bosch and Fein blades are really expensive. I was searching around to see if there were any cheaper and came across sharkblades. Anyone else tried these? They are about half the price but I wonder if they are any good.

Try this company in the states good blades specialtydiamond.com

Yeah, those prices are quite good. Have you ordered any and do you get hit for import duty?

 

[PhilRance1950]

I have purchased them through ebay with no import duty

I have purchase from Speciality Tools. IN MY CASE BIG MISTAKE!! I got stung on the duty and also the post office charge you additionally also making them expensive. I have used Shark Blades by going to their web site sharkblades.co.uk. They seem to be based in the UK and the blades are great. At £3.50-£4 per blade they seem cheap when comparing to the originals. EVERY LITTLE HELPS IN THIS RECESSION

I use an EINHELL multitool,just re ordered a pack of 10 Shark blades, (£40.00 + p&p of E Bay) , getting good longevity from them,and they do fit the Fein tool (Fein blades are £11.00 each round here !)
Stick to the 25mm wide blades,the wider bladesare harder to accurately control when doing precision work.

Getting sick of my blunt blades. Nearly set fire to a floorboard today!

Just had a look at those multitool thingies on a website and they look damn handy. Can they cut through 4 inch nails and other metals as well or are they just for wodden skirting boards?

they can do metal as well mate. say if you have a piece of pipe sticking out of a wall redundant it will trim it flush.

As mentioned though, the blades are very strong, but go blunt quite quickly with any serious work - some of the blades are only good for wood, plastic and plaster, others are specified for soft metal aswell - ie copper and nails. Trying to recut or sharpen the blades is a fruitless exercise, in my opinion. A mate reckons he can get the teeth recut somewhere but for the price of these shark blades (which I haven't tried yet) I don't think its worth the trouble.

Thanks for the info, this youtube frame makes my Firefox crash though, no big deal it works fine in Opera.

I bought some Sharkblades last week, gave two to my dad to test (he has a Fein I have the Bosch) he hasn't got back to me yet but when he does I'll let you all know.

He uses his quite a bit, now on his 2nd Fein, so his opionion could be useful.

I can't stand the cheap blades so try and get the bimetal ones that fit adaptors, German made so no oriental C*ap!
