Bosch Multi-Tool PMF 220 CE (220 W, in Carton Packaging)

I enjoy doing a bit of DIY and often the small jobs turn out the most awkward. 8 years ago I bought one of the first of these multitools available and have used it a lot over the years. A small job came up, perfect for the multitool, but sadly after 5 minutes it died - not that I complain as it has done me well. So I sent for this one, to replace my old trusty one. What a difference! It is quite a bit more powerful and does the 'small' jobs even quicker and, I have to say it, neater too. The reason is twofold. Firstly being more powerful - bigger and better motor - it is also faster so goes through wood far far easier. Secondly, the new 'Starlock' system is a vast improvement too. The blades that came with this new one are sharper, better made and of course, are the Starlock ones. On the negative front, it means I have to buy new blades as my old ones would not fit without an adaptor - I will get an adaptor but actually prefer the new system as I feel safer with it too. For anyone who has never had one of these multitool machines before and are thinking they might take the plunge, don't delay as it will change your work attitude forever as now the small jobs really can be 'small' jobs.

Surprisingly cheap for a Bosch product. Looked at other brands and cheapo Chinese stuff and this was not much more expensive. It is as good as you would expect. Speed adjustable, comfy to use and very effective at cutting wood. Used it to drum a door threshold which it cut cleanly and accurately. Comes with case and sander attachment and sandpaper which also works well. The only downside is the Bosch starlock blades which are expensive and cheap alternatives not abundant. The original blades are good though.

I have not had a multi tool before and wasn't sure how much I would use one so I bought this relatively low-priced product. I now wonder how I ever lived without one! however I do now wish that I had invested in a more professional version (blue body) with 18v battery (rather than this wired version) as it does sometimes seem a little underpowered. Having said that, I have got loads of use out of it, and it handles jobs which no other machine will do. I have just replaced an old deck with a new one, and it was great for getting at old nails between joists, and it feels quite safe tackling some jobs where I would be apprehensive using an angle grinder, circular saw or jigsaw, as the vibrating attachments are not particularly dangerous, and the tool can be positioned exactly where you want to cut without being flung off. I have found buying blades quite an annoying experience as Bosch have stupidly used the name Starlock for several different styles of blade which are not compatible with each other. (there is Starlock, Starlock Plus and Starlock Max), so thank goodness for Amazon's easy return process when I have bought what look like the correct part, but found that it will not fit. The buying process might be easier for the Plus and Max as the filter would possibly only show you the right item, but the basic Starlock search brings up everything (and there is a lot more choice of deep plunge and speciality blades in the Plus and Max ranges) Overall, I could recommend this product as it does a decent job, but if you can stretch to something more powerful, cordless - and with a quick release system - it would really be worth the extra money.

Bought this item to cut the end of some screws and did the job so easily. Good product for what I needed it for.

Fantastic quality, and easy to use. The tools/blades which come with it are really useful and versatile. The tool can do so much more than your standard jigsaw and circular saw..one tool does many things. I wish had bought one years ago, would have saved me time and done a better job.

Good quality

Such a versatile tool. Has saved me many times..

Great unit which has come in handy for all sorts of jobs over the past year or so - used a lot of time for e.g. taking up floor boards (tongue and groove) without any hassle and also used a lot with the sanding attachment for delta sanding. Lightweight and easy to change the head, and a large number of cheap non Bosch cutting heads can be purchased cheaply which fit this. Only negative would be the quality of the case - as with all the power tools I've ever had - it seems very difficult to fit the unit back in the case for storage after use! to many compartments and pieces of plastic which foul on the cable.

I received this tool in excellent condition very recommended.

no comment needed , its Bosch ..

Does the job it is supposed to do. It is a must have in your house if you do some house work from time to time. Already used a few times and works perfectly well.

Awesome tool
