When you get it, let me know what you think!
...I might have been blinded by the Orange Systainers, at least a little.
Since everything else in my tool stack is organized that way, I am somehow reluctant to think about things in L-Boxes. [scratch chin]
I got a 110v FEIN Multi Talent the lil baby one & it has done everything i thrown at it over the last few years.
Whenever my mates use it who got Bosch, Makita, Dewalt etc they all say the FEIN is much much smoother, quieter & nicer to use & doesn't sound like its going to rattle itself to bits like the other main brands. But as FEIN invented this type of tool its hardly surprising. I will say two of my mates have had Bosch ones though and the blade holding mechanism worn out & fell apart & they was not impressed.
I am looking to upgrade mine to a cordless version later this year & wont be looking at anything other than the FEIN versions, also you never hear any issues about the FEIN batteries either unlike the main brands. I appreciate all brands have their fan boys & favourites but with this particular type of tool i don't think you will find anything better than a FEIN.

I have the Dewalt cordless and it works really well...great feel, like your holding a drill. It has never failed me yet. Looking for a backup because I have been using mine quite regularly lately with my recent reclaimed barn wood projects.

The Fein has landed! [emoji41]
I have not had the chance to cut anything today, but it feels good in hand, hefty, but nice and comfortable.
My researched weight study seems to check out.
Soft start is nice, blades etc. fit easily and the quick release is a huge plus compared to the previous multitools I handled.
If anyone has questions, shoot.

I just upgraded to the FEIN 18v Cordless SuperCut Limited Edition Set Part No: 71292772240 AFSC18QSL & the whole set in 2 Systainers is really nice 
I haven't managed to use it yet so will report back once i have, everything is really good quality apart form the battery charger which feels like it came with a McDonald's Happy Meal, no wall mounting slots on the base of charger & there is no battery lock either & it feels very lightweight. I have had to order a Charger from the US to get a 110v version for UK site use as Fein do not sell a 110v charger in the UK.
Its really good Fein have started to offer tools in Systainers also but they need to make all tools available in Fein Systainers as they currently have a kludge mix & match of tool cases (3 types i know of) which is just garbage from a premium priced brand such as Fein. I also just purchased their 18v Collated Screwgun but Fein refused to send me out a Fein Systainer for it despite me having just spent around £850 on 2 tools with them, which did annoy me.
Oh Just an FYI if you do buy a FEIN product there is an offer currently for additons accessories or tools depending on if you purchased 1, 2 or 3 tools.

Have to the say the offers are very decent also.

Hello? [member=63474]grobkuschelig[/member] ?Simon O said:Any update on your ongoing experience with the 18v Supercut [member=63474]grobkuschelig[/member] ?
Someone mentioned there was a dust extraction fitting for cutting, is there one for sanding too?
Any surprisingly useful attachment finds?
