Home and Garden Pmf 220 Ce Multi Tool Set, Green, 0603102071

I'm in the middle of a serious DIY project at the moment. I needed to replace a short section of skirting which had been damaged by a water leak. That wall was old lath and plaster and I knew from past experience that I could seriously damage the plaster trying to get the skirting off. Then I saw people on YouTube using a multitool similar to this one for the job, so after comparing specs and considering the reputation of the manufacturer I eventually bought this one. I specifically wanted to avoid cordless versions of the tool since I don't expect to use it often, and didn't want the battery to die of neglect between uses. But, once I had the tool I was surprised by how often I found a use for it, where it was clearly the best tool for the job. For example I had to cut an access hole in a plasterboard wall in order to fish some network cable. Plunge cutting with one of the supplied blades made short and accurate work of that! Another was cutting away the tongue on some floorboards I needed to lift (that network cable again). Again this tool did it easily. I've used a circular saw for this job in the past, but the circular saw takes a lot of setup to avoid plunging too deep and is frankly a bit scary to use that way (have to pull the guard open, don't fancy hitting a nail with one of them). With the multitool you just put the right blade in and start cutting: progress isn't as fast but in many ways that's a good thing for an amateur. You can feel in your hands when you're through, so there's little danger of slicing right through and hitting a cable or water pipe, especially if you choose a short blade. As to that rotted skirting, it was a doddle: I made a scarf cut over a stud just past the nails and simply lifted the skirting away. Absolutely no chance of damaging the plaster, I literally can't think of any other tool I could have used. Only one downer, nothing to do with the tool itself: Amazon suggested that "customers also buy" a pack of 10 "wood+metal" blades, not Bosch made. Those were absolutely useless. I had a floorboard screw that was spinning in its hole so I thought I'd cut it out, having removed the neighbouring board. The cheap blade only made it halfway through the 4mm screw before it was completely blunt. Yes I know the genuine Bosch blades are expensive, and frankly you can say what you like, but I won't be wasting my time on any more cheapo blade sets for this thing. Recommended. A multitool is simply the best tool for some jobs, and this Bosch corded tool seems to be good quality and has a nice quick tool change mechanism. Obviously I can't say anything about longevity.

J'ai reçu la scie PMF 220 CE set. Problème, elle a été livrée avec une prise aux normes royaume Uni. Ne fonctionne pas en France.

Purchased via Australian site, shipped from England with a Euro plug, not Australian plug. I had to pay to have the plug converted. Do not sell powered items on the Australian Amazon site that are clearly not intended to ever be used here.
