Hi,

I am in the market for a oscillating Multi Tool and would like some advice on which tool to purchase.

1)Fein FMM250 Multimaster (Rather expensive)
2)Bosch GOP 10.8v Cordless (Battery Life? and Price)
3)Bosch PMF 180E All Rounder 3 In 1 Multi Tool

Number three is the one I am think of buying, firstly because of price and secondly I will only be using it seldomly and think the bateries may die with seldom use.

Can these tools cut galv. metal water pipes i.e. ½" and ¾", The adverts show them cutting nail and copper pipes?

Your response would be appreciated.

Regards
DaveC

I wouldn't use them for that the blades would just die Crying

You need a good reciprocating saw for that sort of material Wink

BTW

I use the Fein but I use it everyday if you don't then you probably have made the best choice already

Cheers Razor,

Just one more question, how deep can the PMF180E cut with the plunge blade. I ask this as I need to remove a wooden door frame without damaging it. The frame has been installed with Fisher S-R Frame type fixings. Would the tool do the job?

Regards
Dave

i have the bosch 10.8v progressor battery power is not a problem with lithiumion [li-on] as you can top up charge without dammage to the batteries
they are fully charged in around 45 mins or half charged in about 12mins so you can put a battery on charge as you arrive and within 15 mins you know you have the second battery between 60 and 100% charged as it wasnt flat when you put it away last week

i personaly would choose a recipricating saw for steel pipes as the bosch /fien blades are around £6 and would probaly wear out after several cuts

i have bothe the ryobi and dewalt 18v recip saw
