with regards to an earlier post about the blades i just use a junior hacksaw to cut grooves (make teeth) I have a 10.8 PURE multi tool and its great, but on one battery charge last only minutes.

fantastic for quick cutting plaster board.
A tool you shouldn't be without!

Got the 'green' PMF180 and wouldn't be without it. The new Blue one (GOP 250) is rated at 250 watts while the green one is only 180 w , both use the same blades. Have heard that the 10.8v Bosch is pants on batt life.
Ive got the 'grinder' blade as well and thats very good for removing grout so you can 'pop' out tiles. Don't think that it would work on porcelin tiles though might cut standard ceramics or at least get you through the glaze.

Cheers,
Lofty

I have the battery one and have no problem with the life in general, maybe 7 batteries and 3 chargers helps!

I find if you are gentle when using it the blades last a long time, a bit like a saw let the tool do the work, dont force it!

Check out shark blades for replacements. I got some and they are real good quality for the price 18 odd quid for three blades.

I've had the corded and cordless Bosch, and found them both to be good. The blue vibrates less, and feels a little more solid. the downside is that it is cordless, and the batteries run out frequently - to keep up, you'd need 4 batteries fully charged. However, there are few times when I need it for more than 3 or 4 cuts in one go, so it does keep up with this intermittent use.
When it finally dies, I'll be buying a Fein corded tool to replace it. A lot more expensive at £200, but it has quality all over it. they also do a cordless now, but I dont want to be limited by batteries again.

I own the corded Fein and it brilliant. Used to own a Bosch 10.8 but got sick of the battery life if cutting anything harder than plasterboard.

Was talking to my old man about buying one of these and he just went "oh, I have one, never use it, its yours"...pretty handy really, its a Rotozip, but its about 6-7 years old and comes with about 400 parts just to make it work! screw this on here, then tie that round here, put this gromit up its arse, spin around on your head and sing the national anthem and away you go. Despite the rather arduous approcach to get it working, i belive Rotozip to be quite a respectable brand of these tools?
