bosch GOP 10.8v

[Kiers1970]

Got me out of a right pickle last night, great handy tool. last week had to cut the back out of a cut outs mounting board, saved me then too as all the cables for the house were behind the board, had to cut it because they werent long enough for the new consumer unit (or mains board as I'm constantly annoyed hearing people saying....)

On that note, don't you hate it when people call tools by the wrong name.. a fella I had working for me constantly called Grips Dogs.... maybe I'm getting old!

I never go to a job with out mine (only have the cheap 230v version) but it works all the same unless theres no power.
I will be saving up for the 10.8 cordless one soon.

I too use it for cutting out dry wall boxes, so much neater than the pad saw.
When I got it I was not sure how much I would use it but now I would not be without it.

Same here, this weekends tool show will be replacing the blades I have seriously hammered over the last few weeks!

The price of the blades is the only draw back for me B&Q were doing a deal about a year ago buy 3 or more and get 50% off I am keeping am eye out incase the offer comes up again.

I have had one of these for 2 years its been well used and abused and still works like new: Bosch PMF 180E Multi Power Tool Saw Sander PMF180E NEW | eBay
Quite a bit cheaper than the fein and does the same job.

which blade do you use for cutting fast fix/cavity boxes?

This is the blade that I use most:

But these seem like a good deal (although I have not tried them):
10x35mm Fein Multimaster, Bosch Multitool blades | eBay

These guys have been mentioned before, but as yet I have not heard any feedback if their blades are any good. Certainly priced competitively..

Shark Blades

Its a shame there is no blade with a 'side on' edge, would be more practical when cutting plaster board.

 

[cjp1]

you can turn the blade around to cut side on

What are grips?
Are they water pump pliers, slip joint pliers, channel lock pliers or something else entirely?
