kruton Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 So I am in the market for an oscillating multitool. I'm looking at corded units, mainly the Fein, Bosch and Dewalt. I have been watching a lot of videos and reading reviews trying to make my decision. They all seem to be solid tools. Right now I am leaning toward Fein, the two main reasons being I don't have any Fein tools and would like to try one out, and the other reason is Fein pretty much started the OMT game! You guys are always good with your thoughts and opinions so lay em on me! Thanks.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuutr Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 No Dremel? I don't know about durability but I'll grab my corded dremel before my cordless Milwaukee because the dremel has a toolless blade swap. I haven't used the others you mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used the others you mentionedI hadn't really looked at dremel. I will check them out now. I really like the tool less blade change. I am still getting info but so far the Bosch seems to be more accepting of other brands of blades. How is dremel in that regard?Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 They are all solid choices. I would probably go Bosch or Fein. I don't like the trigger on the Dewalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 ive actually been looking at the porter cable one... just as a wrench in the gameHey man if there is another brand that is better or you like I'm completely open. That's what I love about this place. I guess I will be checking out the porter cable now too.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie17 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Well I don't have that one but I saw it beside a dewalt in Lowes and they looked very similar but up here it was only $150 instead of like $180 or $200 I think for the dewaltSent from my B15 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have the Bosch 12 volt cordless version, from when they first came out. It is the manual blade change with a hex key. I can't speak to the corded version but their cordless version is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathatyl Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I have a Dremel one i got in a 3 tool bundle. It doesn't have quick change on my model, which is pretty annoying. I would at least narrow your choices down to ones that do! Mine is also corded, and the cord is like 3-4 feet, so that is also annoying. But its got power to handle most everything i needed it too. Accessories are expensive, especially sand paper. I always hit up Menards when they have their cheapest brand on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Dewalts has an annoying trigger and here in belgium we can only het the one with propietary accessoires. Which is a no no to me.Fein is a good one although het again: propietary accessoires which drive up the privé abit.Personally i prefer the Bosch or Makita for using the OIS interface which is suite common over Herr. Both have a toolless blade change. Bosch's blade chance system is hands down the best. Makita uses thesame system as fein with a pin holding the tool. The pin can be released with a lever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 . Which one u leaning towards Kruton?Right now I'm still thinking the Fein, but I haven't really had a good chance to research some of the other brands that were suggested.

NicholasShetley Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Here is a deal of the porter cable but it is only good for today. http://toolguyd.com/porter-cable-oscillating-multi-tool-deal-092015/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Eric swears by the corded Bosch Kruton and I have the brushless 18v Bosch and it's the cats meow. But your dead on about Fein! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdog22 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 i think you're on the right track, if you want the best, Bosch, or Fein. I prefer the Bosch quick change system to the feins. the Bosch is louder, but has a pretty long cord, and great build quality. also festool just came out with one, I haven't used it, i'm sure it performs excellently. as far as blades go, bosch and dremel have a carbide tipped blade which is hands down the longest lasting blade out there. hope this helps. also the porter cable, and dewalt are basically the same tool.

kruton Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 The thing I really like about Bosch is that there are zero parts needed for a blade change. With my kind of luck I would probably lose the pin from the Fein!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William S Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 If you want the best you have to go with festool vecturo or the fein supercut? I have the Dewalt cordless and though I like the paddle switch I wish you could lock it at any speed you want instead of fullspeed only. They did it on the blower so maybe in the next revision.That might be 10 years down the road knowing Dewalt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
