So here's a thread I never thought I would start.
I bought my first Ozito the other day. Thats one thing I never thought I would say
It was a Mulitool. And that's the other thing I never thought I would say.
We are doing a bit of renovating inside the house, & I needed to cut out some Cement sheeting in the laundry. I didn't want to fill the house with dust so rather than use the angle grinder & diamond blade, I thought for $79 , give it a go.
I considered buying... perhaps a better name brand product, but I looked at a few reviews on the net the night before & the general feeling on Mulitools as a tool was not great.
So anyway, I had a look at them & decided on the cheapest one I could get.
I took it home & started cutting cement sheet. Not a lot of dust, but the teeth wore off the blade in no time. That said, having no teeth did not even slow this little sucker down. It did a wonderful job & the refit after the plumbing was done was a breeze.
On gyprock, I can't think of any better tool.
This is not going to replace any of my tools, & once the Reno's are finished, I can't see it getting a lot of use, but with a full 3 year replacement warrantee, I'm
thinking that perhaps some of the people writing these reviews prolly wouldn't know their ass crack from a crack in the wall. (Lil home reno joke)
SteveThe fact remains, that 97% of all statistics are made up, yet 87% of the population think they are real.

Ditto.
Bought one for my son's bathroom renovation.
We flogged that thing every day for a week, and I can't say enough good things about the one we used. Still going strong.
The Bosch blades are better quality, but I can't fault the machine.
Cheers

I've bought the bosch one for odd cutts.. and quite happy with the decission..
Had to make couple of wishing wells and on the bottom I've simply used multitool to cut out opening.. The offcut was reused as a door.. saved me quite a bit of time...
also used it while lying down timber flooring to fit the planks under door frame... it came out better than professional.. hehe
For such an odd tool.. plenty of usage in the shed and around the house..

I've got the 12v Dremel one and while I love its ability, the battery drains in less than 5 minutes continuous use, the LED indicator doesn't give an accurate reflection of the charge left in the battery and the speed adjustment slide moves up due to the vibrations of the tool which basically means you can use it at full speed with the options of on or off
I'd be happy to get another (I can't think of another tool which would remove small sections of cornice so neat and easily) but it won't be a Dremel.It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Sounds like a sus machine to me. I have a Dremel (its my second one) with a couple of spare batteries and the length of time it takes to run each battery down is surprisingly good. Also never had an issue with the slide or the accuracy of the battery indicator on either unit.

A good range of quality multito blades is the Smart. They are made in the USA & have an extensive range at pretty good pricing
