Multi tool

[Koolpc]

Looking to buy a multi tool. No idea what to go for.

Cheap but decent i guess with tool less blade changing.

Corded be fine as only for DIY.

Any advice be great.

Thanks

If you're not a brand snob, I was in Aldi the other day and I noticed they had theirs on offer.

Go corded rather than cordless - more power than cordless and less chance of the vibration damaging the battery

that comment actually made me laugh out loud-----i though wow the vibration is so great it finds a remote battery to attack

and before any one thinks this comment is at all negative jxk knows me well

I would go corded too if I was buying another one. The one I have is corded although I have used a cordless one.

That looks like it uses an allen key

It does but unless you're changing the blade constantly it's not a big deal.
Cheap and tool less blade changing might not go hand in hand.

I have used cheap oscillating saws and expensive ones. The very cheap ones vibrate a lot. Not too much of a problem if you only ever cut in to soft materials, but not nice if you are cutting in to timber/MDF/etc.

Realistically, what is your budget

Aldi then or Lidl. My Lidl version has done all I have asked of it so far.

It's as good as the dewalt.
I think good blades make a difference, I use bosch blades.
