Precision cutting with little effort makes this a must have tool
By Chris H.
I am a residential electrician and purchased the multi-tool for cutting into cabinets and lathe and plaster walls for my outlet boxes. What I used to use was drill bits and a sawzall and I became quite adept at it. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the perfect cut 100% of the time, and I would either damage the finish of a wall or add a couple "love taps" to the cabinet courtesy of a bent sawzall blade.
Not any more!!! The multi-tool is great for making perfect, precision cuts in every material medium I come across, from hard oak cabinets to 90 year old pine lathe in homes.
Its incredibly easy to use from the first cut, and I never felt out of control or that the tool would jump. I had to get used to the vibrating and noise but thats about it.
I chose the Bosch over the Craftsman or Rigid because of the quality name that the brand carries throughout its impressive power tool line. This is my first Bosch power tool. I probably would have gone with Makita if they produced a multi-tool, as all my other power tools are Makita. The Fein tool is obviously a great tool and the originator of this kind of power tool, but its still ridiculously over priced and the blades are too. I felt that Bosch probably did their homework and for them to undercut Fein by half price just points to Fein being over priced, not Bosch being cheap.
I've used a Fein before and I can say there is no difference in the quality of the tool.
Overall, I am impressed and very happy with my purchase. Only time will tell how well it holds up, but I have no doubts that it will.

By John K. Gowrie
I bought the cordless version of the tool when it first came out. Always eyed the FEIN but just couldn't justify spending $300 + on a tool I would probably only use once in a while. After using the 12v cordless Bosch I quickly realized two things. First, this is one of the handiest tools to have in your truck. Second, the cordless 12v version from Bosch was underpowered for anything a professional would ask of it. If work hadn't been so scarce over the last year or two I would have thrown the cordless away and bought the FIEN without blinking an eye. Well, work is getting a little better and Bosch finally beefed up the tool by attaching a cord and matching the power of the FIEN tool. Now, I can't see any reason to spend the extra money on the FEIN as Bosch has done a great job with this tool.
If you can afford the extra $30, get the model with the few extra blades and plastic case. The little bag that came with mine is junk and you have to remove the blade to properly fit the tool in. Eitherway, the tool itself does such a good job and anyone that does finish carpentry needs this in their tool bag.

By Bruce Broderick
I bought one of these a couple of months back because of the video, must have watched it a hundred times while buying material at the contractor counter at my local Building Supply.( the slow sell) I've been doing a lot of deck building recently and thought I would put this thing through it's paces. It was a little awkward at first but once you get used to how a multi-tool operates, it's pretty slick. I've always used a handsaw to finish my cuts on stair jacks. Not any more. The Bosch does a cleaner job. I also do plunge cuts in my corner posts for deck railing. It's always been tedious using a short jigsaw blade to get into the inside corner where I literally cut out a cube shape in the corner of the post. I would always have to clean it up with a chisel. Again the Bosch makes short clean work of it. I needed to get an accurate floor level height to build a deck against an exterior wall prior to installing the patio door. Cutting a small square hole in the drywall and then cutting through a section of sole plate and finally sliding through the siding at floor level only took a couple of minutes with the multi-tool. It is now the second tool to come out of my tool box. The first is of course the Skil-saw, The third is now my recip-saw. I never thought I would replace that tool in so many instances. In short, this saw will change how you do your precision work.
