I've got the posh one, fein multi tool. Superb, bit of kit, expensive blade though.

I've got the Fein multi master. Excellent bit of kit. Blades are atrociously expensive but you can get third party blades a lot cheaper.

You can get the blades re sharpened a lot cheaper.

I have the Fein multi tool also. Got the complete kit, over £200, with dust extraction & cutting & sanding parts. The best Fein is the one that I got that doesnt need a tool to change the blades as it has a release lever. The large wood blades are £30 for pack 3.
Thought I had made a mistake buying it, but it is brilliant for small cutting jobs, like cutting holes in the solid backs of kitchen units or cutting a floor board on top of a joist or cutting a skirting board that is fitted.
Workx do a cheap one that looks good.

Agreed - Fein Multi is surprisingly useful, especially for limiting damage to cust's existing finish, such as removing grout and pulling a single tile for access or chopping screws and nails in situ.

Very useful when you remove a few tiles to replace a shower valve & you need to cut the plywood out. The Fein tool can cut it in minutes very neatly & on centre of stud supports if you want. It is the only thing I know that can cut flooring against walls.
