Best multitool blades

[Nic_P74]

What blades are people using in their multitools?
I picked up some antler bi-metal blades and have been a bit disappointed.
Not looking for cheapest but best value/performance without paying price of Bosch etc...

I always buy the cheap ones, especially when Aldi have them on offer.
Have bought the expensive ones before and can’t really tell the difference in longevity.

I used to use Saxton which are pretty good for the money. I got a starlock plus fein which won't take them so am using fein blades which I've noticed don't seem to last anywhere near a long as they used to

Have just been looking at prices of Fein/Bosch blades and although still more expensive, they have come down. Maybe the quality has too?

I would say so

Multi tools although brilliant at getting you out of jail they have one main fault In that they do not have enough register of the blade . If feel if this was increased to say double what they are at the moment I feel they would do their job a lot more efficiently and people would probably use them at lower speeds and less likely to burn them out .

Smart blades are good, I’ve also used erbaur ones from screwfix.

Agreed, I use erbauer blades alot

I was told if your cutting nails/screws to put the tool on lowest speed and move the blade left to right while cutting the metal as this prolongs the life of the blade
