Hello Everybody,
Couple of questions, are the blades proprietary and with everybody and their brother with versions, of course with out the fancy doohickys, do I really need to spend 3 times as much? Rigid, bosch, rockwell et all all around 100-150 bucks.

It is way better than those 3 you mention, more rigid and powerful. Don't know about the USA, but in Europe it is easy to get 3rd party blades for the Festool Vecturo. The Vecturo is a rebrand/adaptation of the Fein Supercut that exists for many years already. They use the same blades.

You're not serious, are you? A toothbrush with a saw blade attached is incredibly useful. For instance, trim that's attached to a wall, you don't need to remove it now to cut a bit off. Same when working with pipes along a wall. There are so many uses, too much to name. An oscillating tool is a unique tool and I wouldn't want to be without one.
What's so good is that you can plunge directly into the material, and there's no other cutting tool that can do that.

As had as I try, I can't think of a reason to buy this tool. Darn!

I know this is available in the UK, but can you get it in 110v ?
I have used the Fein Multimaster many times and the borg knock-offs many, many times. However, I still do not own one personally.
To date, nothing has worked for me as well as the Fein. All the others seemed a bit weak in the power department. When the time comes, I will either go with the Fein or the Festool version.
As an aside:
Allegedly, Festool has "this thing" where they will not introduce/manufacture a tool that is not seven(?) ways better than what's already on the market.
With that said, how is it we now have a multimaster 'clone', but I can't get a reciprocating saw with proper dust collection built into it?!?!?!

When purchased in 25x packs, the Vecturo blades cost roughly $11-14 each, very competitive with "standard" blades.

With the Vecturo, I think Festool is responding to many years of customers requesting a Festool-branded oscillating tool. I for one am pleased that, instead of developing a brand new, untested/unproven design, they chose to take an existing, heavy duty design (Fein Supercut), and refine it.
For recip saw dust extraction, you can give this accessory a shot. I tried one out, it was a little clunky but overall it worked decent. SawBuddie for Reciprocating Saws from Dustless Technologies: http://dustlesstools.com/productdetails/D2415/CuttingShrouds.php

I have used the Dremel oscillating tool, and I now use the Fein MM. The Fein blows away the Dremel. I am guessing the Vecturo will too.

I have the very first quick release fein multi master. I will be retiring it to home use as soon as I have saved enough beans for the venturo. I can not imagine being a carpenter without a fein tool. In fact after a drill and impact pouch with basic hand tools and skill saw its the first tool I recommend my helpers ie trainees buy.

Something I appreciate about the Vecturo is that Festool made the quick release lever longer than on the Fein models. Not a major thing, but an example of how they took a great tool (SuperCut) and improved it.

There are a lot of mentioning the Multimaster in this thread. So everyone is clear, the Vecturo is a Fein Supercut clone, that's the Multimaster's big brother. Generally speaking the Multimaster is a little more powerful than the knockoffs. The Supercut/Vecturo is even more powerful than the Multimaster.

The Vecturo has a larger motor and a larger "sweep", or oscillation amplitude, than the Multimaster. That means it cuts faster, in short.
OK...nice tool. I've yet to see the circular blade in action...video somewhere? Also, is there really no DC for this? I'm surprised if not. Will there be early adopter price breaks for preorders?
Also, just want to make sure...will other brand blades fit this tool?

No dust collection for the Vecturo.
No discounts for preorders. Sorry.
