Fein or Bosch multi tool

[Ian]

I know there aren't going to be many people who have owned both but, is the fein really twice as good as the Bosch? It's the difference between £100 and £200 for the full package. Can anyone shed a little light on my dilemma for me please! All I'll be using one for is architraves and digging out old grout, I'm not being tight, just don't want to waste money or, get the Bosch and its not up to the job.

See if you can get one from Aldi, best value for money.

I was gonna say I've heard the Aldi ones were ok, I've got a Dremmel, not used the others ?

 

[Ian]

I've got a dremmel, it's quite restricted due to the blade spinning as opposed to oscillating. It's quite an old model, there may be a newer version that's more capable.

I have the Bosch 250 Bri, corded. Does everything I need it to. Great for cutting holes in plasterboard. I supply and fit kitchens as well and I use it quite often for various little jobs that I just can't get a saw into.

If you're using it everyday then probably the Fein would be the way to go. Not having owned though I can't say whether it would be better than the Bosch.

A friend of mine used to have a £180k Bentley Arnage and had nothing but trouble with it, so sometimes you have to weigh up whether it's for bragging rights :lol:

Same as if you have a football team that beats another team and the winning team manager gets the sack, if you know what I mean :wave2:

I actually do have the Aldi one and have been told by others that its the same as the Bosch. I will say it is VERY good for the money, I use it more than my Fein but maybe only because its 240v where as the Fein is 110v.

I had the fein, sold it and got a bosch blades are cheaper, just as good imo.

Lol John! I was gonna give you some grief yesterday, then that happened! McLeish is supposedly lined up for the job, bet we end up with Ericsson!

 

[John Benton]

Lol John! I was gonna give you some grief yesterday, then that happened! McLeish is supposedly lined up for the job, net we end up with Ericsson!

You'll be telling me they're digging Cloughie up next :lol:. What about Roy Keane? Fancy him?

 

[Ian]

I thought keane would be a good call, bit of history at the club. We're gonna end up with more managers than Chelski!
