I have the drill and impact driver in the same range. They punch well above their weight for 10.8V.

Good buy!

The battery's don't last long on the multicutter

 

[husky2013]

no especially not when ur using it for sanding,

but it is very handy for cutting in fast fix boxes into plasterboard!

I agree it doesn't last long at all I was a bit disappointed to be honest

Now you know why it was a clearance item.

At least I know not to waste my time with one, thanks wicksy.

I have the Bosch drill/driver and impact driver in the 10.8V range and if I saw the oscillating saw for
