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

Looks good

That's a thing when you buy expensive good quality tools it's hard to switch to a cheaper brand.

A must for tradesmen.

For me, it would only be used now and again.

The Aldi corded one...does it use the starlock system?

I would not expect so, my older one, uses an Allen bolt.

No substitute for cubes with these things in my opinion. They're problem solvers, and when your problem is a 6" nail in a place you can barely even see you need all the help you can get. Mines a TM3000C (the "cheap" one with the allen key blade change).

I can't see anyone in China paying Bosch and Fein to licence their patented technology - top end machines only at present

 

[Koolpc]

I see. Only after a decent, cheap corded one.

to be honest any multitool regardless off cost or quality will be fine in occasional general cutting and the best thing since sliced bread
its when you need an efficient quick and highly accurate cut are needed the extra money becomes important


cheaper tools or blades can flutters this is where the blade crabs or vibrate a bit so instead of a clean plunge you finish up fighting the blade as it causes several furrows before grounding in a random furrow this can be reduced by a finger giving support but reduces the ease in confined areas that only allow one-handed use

its worth pointing out that a blade not fitted correctly [not flat] can cause fluttering
