Dewalt multi tool

isn't that an Irish political party ?

 

Festool do one...

But I'm still set on the Bosch...perhaps in a systainer.

 

Thing I have found with multitools is, you have to hold the tool firmly (nowt sexual like) If you hold it loosely the tool vibrates instead of cutting the material.

 

Yeah yeah...whatever JJ

 

It does CGN, Took a door frame out yesterday using my multi tool. Bloody thing had been fixed with thunderbolts.. Almost impossible to remove (took me over an hour to remove the old frame) Well not quite impossible, but an hour to get an old door frame out !!!!!!

 

You want a sabre saw for stuff like that.

 

Just jesting JJ

I was using one yesterday for quite a long period , I was vibrating by the end of it, but if whatever you're cutting isn't secured, you do get the tool buzzing. Possibly down to type of blade used too...

 

Re the starlock blades. Likes of saxton can't do them because Bosch and Fein have locked the patent down tight so only OEM blades available at much higher prices.

 

Darn annoying, inflated prices.

Found this, at least they are colour coding blades at last.

 

Used the Dewalt 18v for 2 years and not had any issues, other than stock Dewalt blades being rubbish. Very expensive rubbish too. Best I've found so far are the 'Smart' branded ones from Toolstation - both bimetal and fast cut styles outlasted the dewalt and cut better out of the pack. Tried Faithful blades and they dropped their teeth faster than a granny in a toffee factory; bi-metal was comically bad. Biggest drawback with the tool is not being able to set the speed and lock it on. Fast blade change is very handy though.
