Who owns a multi cutting tool? is it worth getting one?

[armyash]

Just putting a list together for some tools that I don't have.

Who owns a multi cutter? Thinking about getting one.

Might come in handy when tiles need a little bit cutting out, yesterday I had to cut a section out of a crappy ply wall and the only way I could do it was with hole cutters and jr hack saw. Might have been better with a multi cutter.

Worth getting?

Any recommendations?

just bought the makita 18v multi tool probably the best tool i own, its easier being cordless and my boss has got the 240v fein and there is no difference in performance I've got the 4ah batteries though it lasts forever well worth the money especially with the 3 year warranty

Good argument, joiners got one cut a few skirts and stuff , but my memory is of the awful noise? Think the bloke I'm recalling had a cheap one but I was in the floor viid and it was actually painful. Can do main cut and all the jobs u mentioned with hackzall but it does "bounce " being a bit cynical as I'm trying to prevent myself buying more toys! Welding kit and accessories took a lot of self control. Bit like Kyle in Hilti shop

You know you want one, no! Need one.

If in doubt, buy the 240 volt Parkside multi tool from Lidl & give it a go when the needs arise. It feels good in the hand & is fairly quiet.
Only £35 & includes set of various blades, so nothing to lose!

We actually have 2 Supercuts, one in each van. That should tell you how good they are and how much time they save!

I bought one for the first time two weeks ago and have already used it 4 times. Absolutely brilliant for all the jobs mentioned above, wouldn't be without it.
