Festool Multi Tool Reviews

[pettyconstruction]

I have a Fein corded multi tool and the Festool cordless one.
Since getting the cordless,I haven’t used the corded Fein.

The Fein 12V battery is incredibly bulky, so I don't agree with your point on that. But it's probably relative since Fein's own 18V batteries are heavyweights too...

The 18v 6,0ahs are bulky, the 12v 3,0ah is tiny

40% heavier than the Bosch 12V 3.0
That Bosch also goes up into unused space (the grip), whereas the Fein tool will have most likely have a void space and then an external battery "blob".
The latter is the price you pay for being compatible with 18V too.

to the OP; I had a cheaper Makita one for years; sprung for the Festool cordless, and was blown away by the performance difference. I was literally confused as to how much better it was.

I have just purchased a Fein MM500 Multi tool corded ,I also have the ETS 150 and CT 36 Vacuum , my question is what would be the better option to connect to the Festool CT 36 many thanks first time poster Fein attachment or Festool attachment

If it’s the latest MM500 I’m not 100% sure the Festool collar will fit. It will fit the new MM700. Having run the two side by side the Festool seemed to collect dust a little better, but if your only option is the Fein dust connection then it’s better than nothing.

Thanks mate, I might take it To my local Festool shop and see if if will fit , the Fein is i guess the latest model MM 500 as i only purchased it on Sunday gone ?

I have the DeWalt corded multi-tool. It’s function has been fine, and the multi-tool is sometimes the only logical tool to use.

I cannot comment on durability as I have used it infrequently. I have had mine for about 5 years.

There is a huge difference in blade durability. I’ve had poor durability with the bargain blades.
