Well the mrs got this today, im pretty impressed! I've never used a Fein tool before I have nothing to compare it to, but it cuts through wood pretty well!

I got the li on one.

Has anyone got this Bosch (Green) version and is it any good. I always believed that Bosch (green) was more aimed at DIY and bosch (blue) was aimed for harder use (trade).

I saw this in my Makro mail and didnt know whether to have a pop or wait another year and save up for the fein.

Also one other question. What do most of you use to cut out plasterboard to fit dryline boxes? Im using my trusty Stanley as i have been for ages but heard people using these multitools to do it?

Cheers

I tend use my Bosch multitool (RIF blade) or a dry wall saw to cut in dry line boxes,,,, never a stanley

I have ad my multitool for a couple of years now and it's great,,, I think if I had to replace it that I'd get the Fein though,, the value for money is there if you look at the blades that you get with it!

What drywall saw do you use Noz as mines abit viscous and would tear the board up around the edges of the cut. Stanley does it nice and neat. Any reason why youd never use a Stanley? Ive not worked with many other sparks so my methods are what ive been taught by my dad and from what ive seen others do. So your advice is really important tbh. Thanks

I've got something like this

Silverline 196581 Double Sided Drywall Saw 150mm

TBH it can tear the paper a bit, but that is usually covered by the edge of the dry line box

I have had this for about 14 years now, got a few looks from BAA security and the police when I took it through security with the rest of My toolbox at the time.

My last drywall saw(I call them padsaws!) came from Asda, cost a couple of quid, made by DRAPER, and only single edge, I prefer that as if you are cutting a round hole for downlights or such it doesnt track the back edge on you.

back on track now, went to Clas Ohlsons today for a multitool, got a

Well chaps and chapettes. Had a quick 30 min job in Liverpool One today....400m from the Ohlson Store. I mused for all of 2 seconds whether or not to call in.

So.........now I have a Li - ion multitool, some blades, a set of saw trestles and some screwdriver bits AND a
