Would you still recommend the Bosch for the corded even though fein has brought out a more powerful 350w version?

I think from the safety standpoint the Dewalt is the better option. If you happen to drop the tool while using it the dewalt will shut off while the others won’t. Me personally, I like the variable speed trigger.

Finally got a chance to watch the video. I really like the the quick change bit option, love the grip, & the variable speeds on the DeWalt. This feature is nice because I like the option to go slow, give it more power if need it on the fly without stoping & changing the speed when a different setting is needed. The downside of the DeWalt is that we are stuck with their accessories, which may not be a bad thing. They are getting better. I saw that a mod would not work to make it work with more universal accessories. If I get this one I would to try making mods.

Now, the Bosch. Like the look & it’s more compact if I remember correctly. The big issue with me is that I don’t have the battery platform. I own a drill & that’s it for Bosch tools. This may be a good entry to getting more into this platform. I also really don’t like that there is no LED on the tool. It might not be a big deal to some, if your blind like me any other light will help. They have both at Lowes & it may come down to feel in hand for me. I expect vibration from these types of tools, so that is not a concern for me.

Fein is not an option for me. Well, maybe the corded one, but I don’t want to hassle with cords. It comes down to avalability with this brand or any brand for that matter. If I can’t find easy access to this brand I tend not bother. I like to feel the product & not go based of videos & pictures. Speciality shops are a bit pricey in my area where I could find additional Fein tools.

By the way, I’m speaking on the cordless tools. You may be two guys having fun with tools, but you sure give us things to think about & consider. Laters TIA

Thanks for the tool fight guys. That corded Bosch looks really great. I used the corded Dewalt at work and really like the quick blade changes and the trigger paddle. I feel like the trigger paddle allows me to work more carefully when making detailed cuts.

In reply to Pete. Same here. With these multi tools, I like to be able to turn it on and that's that. But as others have stated, most of my battery platform is DeWalt.

Harbor Freight oscillating tool I bought for $22 is still working great after 4 years and I use it often. While its nice to review the brand name tools for $200, sometimes your simply flushing money down the toilet.

In reply to Samuel L. I have tried, it didnt work for me

I agree. I don’t like the variable speed trigger on a multi tool. I want to “set it and forget it”!

It will be interesting to see if other manufacturers adopt DeWalt’s quick change system as to me it is ahead of the game design wise it just needs broader support from others.

I wonder if you take other oscillating blades and cut the back out if they work with the dewalt.

Should have tested the Supercut instead of the Multimaster. Same obnoxious blade changes but it’s an absolute beast of a cutter.

This was a great tool fight Dan, I am a big DeWalt fan but I think I would go for the Bosch corded and the DeWalt cordless just cause I have heavily committed to the DeWalt platform but the Bosch cordless kicks ass!
