This type of tool has been really useful the last few weeks, I've got the MultiMaster version.
Had a 4" waste to cut back, it was boxed in and hard against the wall and floor supports, really awkward to get at with a saw even a pad saw to be fair.
Gave the lad the Multi and off he went, when he got to full reach just over half way he just cut out a square for access and the Multi finished it of, surprisingly few burs to contend with and a rub with a finger smoothed it down, silicone grease and the elbow was on, boxing in and existing supports all in place and fall maintained. I'm sure the Bosch would have handled it too.

I have just seen some blades for sale on ebay and they fit the Bosch and Fein model 
I wonder if Fein are making these and branding them as Bosch, by just using a bosch case!

Surely UHM you shoulf know by now Screwfucks add 20% on all their power tools!!! You can almost guarantee that you'll find the same tools cheaper elsewhere. The make their money buying in bulk and end of lines. Then dress em up like the crap they are!!!
Oh and on the subject of the thread! The bosch is a gay/poormans Fein!
I'd break it in a day guaranteed. Bosch Green = SNOT!!!!! LOL ... Bosch Blue = Hmmm crap version of a DeWakita!!!!! LOLOLOLOL

Screwfix often sell powertools much cheaper than anywhere else and also you get free delivery. This tool is the exception.
I would get a Fein, but as this is mainly a DIY website I opted for the diy version as this is what most diyer's would buy. I only need to cut a few small pieces of wood with it

I reckon I could find a screwfix tool cheaper elsewhere almost every time!!!! It just seems cheaper because they have lines that you can't compare as they are exclusive end of line stock or single seller lines. Just like Argos!!!!
Oh...do you ssee a similarity there somewhere!!!!
You know what, I reckon I feel a challenge coming on!!!!
