I'm in need of a new oscillating tool, but which one?
I'm leaning towards Fein, but again, which one 250 or 350
They now do a starlock connector, any good? I guess this is to defeat 3rd party blades?
Any other brands to consider?

You can get adaptors for all the designs to suit each other with regards to compatibility.
Some of the YouTube reviews of these tools might surprise you so take a look!

I've got a Fein, had it for years, not sure what model number it is though but I couldn't be without it..
I still buy my blades from Saxton.

I went with the new Fein when my old one died. Think it depends how much you use it. The latest Fein has dampening built in and really reduces the vibration which was a major consideration for me. If you just use it for the odd bit of architrave then I'd go for a budget model.

If that is the case I'll buy one too, as the non-starlock 240v models are hard to find.
Do you mind posting a picture of a saxton blade fitted, as I've was told they don't fit, and looking at pictures the mounting pins seem recessed on the machine body, whereas the saxton blade is flat.

After quickly looking into it, i think it depends upon date of manufacture of the tool. The one i bought today from topps fits my other blades fine(ptx blades) I'll upload pics now

Yep. Mines the 350q. The price in Topps was very competitive after discount. It'd defo be worth getting the older model to save a fortune in blades
