If your looking for a cordless then I recommend the Makita DTM51Z with tool less blade change had one for a couple of years now and it gets a lot of use, for corded I have a Dewalt with variable trigger speed and tool less blade change it's a good machine but the tool less set up occasionally compromises the depth of cut

Been using a milwaukee cordless, all my tools are now milwaukee, also tool-less blade change. Very good and long lasting with 5 ah battery.

I use a cordless dewalt, only because all my tools are and I can’t be bothered with different batteries, I also have a corded macallister that I’ll use if I have a ---- load of of cuts.....I have to be fair to it I have absolutely demolished and abused it and it won’t give up! ?

Fairly certain it was Fein that made the first multitool.

My corded Bosch died last year as well. Not happy, because although it was about four years old, it hadn't seen a lot of use.
Was going to replace it with another Bosch, but then discovered they've gone their own way with a new blade fitting arrangement, so went for a Makita TM3010 with the quick change standard blade arrangement. Can't fault it up to now, and it's probably seen twice the usage already that the Bosch did before it quit.

Fein is no doubt the RR of oscillating tools and the blades last three times the cheap versions making them more economical in the long run, the only thing that pleas's me and bugs me at the same time is the 2m cord, great when using it, but a pain to get back in the case.

Makita has an unusually long lead as well.

Fein make top notch tools, but I sold mine on ebay after finally buying a cordless Makita. There is no comparison between the two, but the Makita is more than sufficient for my needs and I don't want more than one battery platform.

i've got an old Fein110V, allen key blade change. an Aldi 10.8V, Aldi 12V, and a beast of an AEG 18V. (same batteries as my AEG cordless drill and impact driver.

Usually you just go with the same make as you have other tools to avoid multiple batteries & chargers. I think the top handful of brands are probably all OK.

I have a couple of 18V Milwaukee tools so probably would look to them for anything else, but to be fair I could probably get a decent enough tool and matching batteries/charger for about the same as some of the Milwaukee options cost!

90% of my power tools are Bosch, and I intended to stick with them for the new oscillator, before I found out about the new blade fixing design. I own no Apple products for similar reasons.

 

[Mike Johnson]

The no tool blade change is very convenient, but a pain to operate, I have Arthritis in my thumbs, believe it or not even in my foot thumbs. ?

On the Makita?? Once the lever's off its stop there's zero effort required, and you could always flip it up with a screwdriver.

 

[Mike Johnson]

That sort of defeats the object of a no tool blade change.
