I wouldnt worry about the allen wrench blade change on the bosch. if you dont need it right away maybe hold off as long as you can to see if they come out with a new brushless model with some updates they have been rolling out some new brushless 12v tools recently.

I looked into the bosch 12v PS50 and it seems like it has been around, unchanged since late 2008. i imagine the bosch has the same ergonomics. I really like how small and light the m12 is. i honestly dont know the last time i used my makita. when i use cordless (90% of the time) i use the milwaukee. I have the makita 18v multitool and the milwaukee m12 multitool. I also have the porter cable 20v line and noticed recently they have one too but need to learn which one would be better suited.Ĭordless should be more that adequate for you. This isnt a tool id be using everyday on a job as im not a contractor but would use it for stuff around the house,with my 4.0ah batteries id assume that it would work well enough for what id use it for. This is an option ive been considering, since I have the Bosch 12v line,they have one that would work for me. the point of this rant (sorry) buy the best quality you can, you wont regret it. I do imagine that by now most other models have caught up to the quality of the fein but they have my loyalty for now. the 350 or supercut is probably that much better than the old model. huge difference in vibration, noise, quality and overall feel. it was like going from an old beat down pinto to a brand new Ferrari. at that point i knew i would get a lot of use out of the tool so i stepped up and bought the Fein. i fell in love with the dremel and after about a year it shit the bed. that is when their patent ran out and i saw the Dremel version at home depot for $100 i figured for that price it was worth the risk. i always thought it would be neat to own one but the price was too high at that time. i was much younger, wasnt spending so much money on tools and fein was the only option. I fought the same battle about 5 or 6 years ago. they are very good at making otherwise impossible jobs very easy! Then, as soon as you buy one, you smack yourself in the face for not doing it sooner. Multi tools are weird little tools that before you own one you cant understand why everyone loves them so much and you have no clue what you will use it for. i found the best deal on the Bosch osc114c at Īppreciate your review on this as well,I dont have one of these multi tools yet but am in the market for one. I cut 4 GRK R4 screws in about 1 or 2 minutes and there was literally no visible wear to the teeth!!! this blade is serious for metal cutting well 8 blades (fein bimetal and imperial bimetal averaged about 2 screws per blade) and about 2 hours later that sucker was finally out that is when i decided to get the Bosch carbide blade!! when i had them in hand i did a quick test. of course we were all sheetrocked and taped so i wanted to minimize damage and only remove the sheetrock from one side of the wall we were unable to access at least a dozen, probably more GRK R4 screws that were holding this header in place so we used a multimaster to cut them. hitting a screw, which would destroy any other blade is nothing for the OSC114C!!įor an example I recently had a customer request we raise the height of an LVL header we had installed. ill be honest i havent really put them to the test cutting just wood but i have a good feeling they wont stand up against the fein long life. That is where the bosch carbide tipped blades come in! these things are increadible at cutting metal.

I will purposely try to avoid screws or any other hardened metal with these as i dont think they are really designed for that the blade cuts very fast, super clean and with no burning. I try to use the Fein Long Life E-cut blades for wood only but they hold up so well to nails that i really dont have to worry about hitting a few whether they are framers or brads. they dont seem to eject the sawdust well from the cut. I know Imperial blades get a lot of hype, and they did ok cutting nails however they seemed to smoke bad when cutting wood (even with a brand new blade) which would burn up the blade quick. none of them have shown the promise of this new pairing I have been using a fein multimaster professionally for around 5 years now and have destroyed my fair share of blades standard fein e-cut japan style tooth cheap ebay blades even imperial blades. I believe after years of trying all sorts of blades i have found the perfect combination for wood/metal cutting
