Best buy as far as I'm concerned. I haven't used my jigsaw or circular saw since getting this. The blades mount securely. You can cut right up to the skirting board with the plunge blade. The semi circular blade allows you to saw through the tongue of floorboards easily.

To my mind it is an essential piece of kit that does all that is required.

Haven't used the Fein - but on economy grounds I'm quite happy with my purchase!

I bought the Bosch a few weeks ago for a one off job (cutting a couple of 22 mm copper pipes that I needed to T in to) The pipes were tight to the rear wall of an airing cupboard and I could see no ther way. The tool worked a treat and saved me hours.

I used it again to cut a section of skirting out so I could fit a vanity unit tight to the wall. Without this tool I would have had to remove a full length of skirting then cut it then re-fit it.

No doubt the Fein is better but the Bosch is really good for the money.

Blades are expensive but I have heard you can make your own using cheap hardpoint saws and a drill.

I'm sure I replied to this thread already suggesting using the fein blades with it. Maybe I am going mad.
