Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Cordless fein-type tool is great for light duties. It really shines cutting vinyl like siding and fencing. The plunge cut blade gets the most use. Installing flooring and cutting back door trim to allow the 3/4 inch flooring clearance.

Two batteries are always better than one, so having a backup is recommended. The battery condition gauge is a nice touch.

The tool is slim and dexterous. It fits like a glove to the hand.

Using this as a secondary oscillating tool, i keep a universal bim blade on it all the time. It's relatively quick since a built-in magnet holds the attachment in position while threading the screw and tightening with the furnished wrench. It is no re... Read More

Cons

The box that comes with this tool, meant to hold your extra blades, is useless. Takes ridiculously expensive starlock blades, and the regular blades are expensive also! They assume you'll always keep it in your blade box. Not happy to be forced to buy... Read More

Price

The warranty is a great deal if tools die within the warranty period, and submitting a claim is easy.

Did as good as my son-in-law's 18v milwaukee at 1/2 the price.

Packaging/appearance

Also included is a more or less worthless plastic box for blades, which seems like it was designed and thrown in as an afterthought.

Somewhat surprised that it came with only one included cutting blade and nothing else except the bosch card file size box.

Competitiveness

The milwaukee had most of the same benefits but it just felt cheaper, rattled at higher speeds despite being quieter than the bosch.

It is disappointing that it won't take starlock plus, as fein has been using this standard for the better part of a decade, so ... Read More
