Years back before Dremel or anyone has an oscillating tool, Fien was out, we used to ( and still do sometimes) call these "Fein tools" and not multi tools or oscillating tools. This was a Fein, like a recip. saw is a Sawzall. We bought in on a payment plan off an infomercial in the 90s.
I'm not a tool snob but I've grown to dislike my Dremel and it's bad runout and overpriced accessories. Proxxon makes some very nice rotary tools that cost only a bit more
I have a fein tool, a 636 ii, and a new Bosch 40-30, let me tell you fein tool is no match, for the Bosch little brother, 636 to much vibration not enough cutting
Their very expensive tools arent they.i think i seen a video by that youtuber vince at a tool convention and gave there multi tool a great review but wanted 200 + for one
I remember the infomercials, thought it was a cool new tool, but never bought one until I needed to do come baseboard/door casing work. I bought the Dremel... that was a mistake. Now I'm looking at a replacement, and even though I'm an 18v/20V Max/12V Max Dewalt guy, I'm heavily leaning towards the M12 Fuel tool. The one pro I give the Dremel, is its size. The M12 fuel with the smaller battery seems to be the same size, maybe smaller. I kinda wish Dewalt had a similar oscillating tool in their 12v max line-up, since I'm already in that line.
I used to be a DeWalt guy. Then I bought a Makita circular saw, then a Makita router (Made in Japan!!!), then an used 20 year old Makita belt sander that runs and performs better than most new belt sanders! The battery on my DeWalt drill is no good now. Normally I would just replace the battery, but I can't pass up the opportunity to use that as an excuse to get a Makita drill!
Us smaller guys kinda have to go with the brand we're invested in. I build furniture and I go with the finesse of Makita. I need a multitool for my side work so I'm glad to hear Makita does that well.
Love that you put M18 pro but M12 expert. Both great tools but that M12 is special, absolutely can keep up with the rest but in one of the smallest lightest packages. Great video.
Bosch AND fein invented Starlock. It was a Coop between them. Hope this gets read. Also, i cant understand why you put the inferior bosch model higher than the far superior fein and festool Models on the list. All of them have Starlock after all and the fein has a higher oscillating "Radius" AND higher speed and even anti Vibraton systems
You are 1,000% correct! Plus, the top model from FEIN has the most ROBUST, precise and durable oscillating mechanism, even sturdier than Festool by a wide margin. Also, the Makita is heavy because it is a solidly built tool, closer to FEIN's robustness that the DeWALT...
@@dumdiversaspapalbull1452 Bosch was the innovator and in some cases the creator of some power tools used now. I’m in their 18v line and while I’d admit that they don’t offer the selection of some other top tier brands(in the U.S.A), Europe actually has a wider selection, prices are high etc... they still have their place. Also people on these channels praise the starlock/ quick change style etc... and Bosch is the company that patented that. So in short they are still relevant, reliable, of good quality and I do see them making A resurgence if they can expand the 12 V line to offer as many tools as Milwaukee and Dewalt. They were the first with the rotary, palm router etc... people hate on Bosch for the wrong reasons.
@@6atlantis I used to love their little hammer drills. The one that was shaped like a recip saw. They call them rotary hammers now. It was light and always ready to go. Perfect for drilling overhead and installing redheads/drop-in-anchors.
@@dumdiversaspapalbull1452 I think they were always called rotary hammers with maybe hammer drill as slang(in that period). Bosch patented the first rotary drill too I think. They still have some of the best rotaries, corded and cordless, “full size” all the way to the crowd favorite Bulldog(that’s actually on sale now).
Bosch still kills it with electric tools.. but they do need to step up in the battery R and D/cordless department. But I'm completely ignorant of the EU market.. I know makitas stuff in Japan is better built, and is red and looks dope
Agreed on most. Just got a Skil 12 volt oscillating tool. It’s brushless, quick release, halo light in front, lite weight. Variable speed too. Check it out. I thought of Skil 12 volt like a Porter Cable, Harbor Freight, Black and Decker level tool. Not any more. Has a 5 year warranty too. Nice to have another option.
How is it holding up? I was thinking of getting the Skil 20V myself. It appears to be one of those brands that you can really support and get behind. The prices are very reasonable especially for what you get.
Skil has really up their game drill and impact driver about 80% as good as Milwaukee DeWalt but there nail driver oscillating tool and impact ratchet are superior or equal to anybody with a five year warranty for much less cost
I've seen too many guys who are messed up from prolonged contact with a vibrating tool of some kind. I care way more about low vibration than I do about shaving a couple seconds off a tool change.
The latest Makita and Milwaukee have good vibration control, and Fein (and the Festool branded one) has had excellent vibration control for ages. The Bosch is good but a little bit behind. DeWalt is okay, but not more than that. Nearly all affordable ones have varying levels of reliability, but almost universally horrible vibration control.
I’ve always used the m12 and had the m18 in the box sitting for a while. I tested the m18 out one day and I must say it has much more power (obviously). They are equal because one is strong and the other is nimble
Really... u think u are going to need stitches if u get nicked with one of these tool blades 🤔 Oh ok 🙄 The 4° cutting angle with not even draw blood in most cases unless u try really hard 👍🏻
For a $100 we're talking not much difference in price might as well go with Milwaukee and you'll have something that's probably the best and it's going to last you a longtime. I have the Milwaukee M18 oscillator and I used and abused that tool daily probably one of the most used tools the size my screw gun and it still runs like brand new
The Milwaukee oscillating tool isn't the only one with magnets. The Ridgid JobMax tool free head also has magnets to hold the blades in place while you clamp them down.
I personally own the Bosch 18v multitool and it is nothing short of a ballerina in monsters clothing. This thing powers through anything it touches but does it so smoothly and paired with the Bosch starlock blades the cut is so fine, so thin, it’ll blow your mind. It’s just amazing. Props to Bosch
It's not just better motors in the Milwaukee FUEL tools. These are the things that all Milwaukee FUEL tools have. All FUEL products feature three Milwaukee's exclusive innovations: the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM Battery Packs, and the REDLINK PLUS Intelligence Hardware and Software. These three pillars are what make FUEL power tools deliver unmatched power, run-time, and durability on the jobsite
Ok, so.. the reviews were awesome.... But a Personal THANK YOU !!! for time warping me back to the 1980's WWE promo spots!! I was waiting for The Piper to yell out, "When this DeWalt and I meet in mobile Alabama on the 24th and the Crisco arena.." I dig the vibe!! Awesome video!!
I’m a dewalt guy so this might be biased, but I can definitely change my dewalt blade in half the time it takes you to unscrew that thing. The Milwaukee is still better because the maneuverability. But dewalt has the best blade change on the market CORRECTION Bosch has the best blade change on the market
When I started doing carpentry I've always known the oscillating tool as the "Fein Knife" regardless of brand. Never even used the Fein brand but I'd say they must have made a hell of an impact. we're currently rocking the M18 Non-Fuel Oscillating tool, definitely have to convince my boss to get the fuel version!
When I was an auto glass tech I called mine a "Fein knife" too. I had the automotive version which accepted only automotive blades.. just the tool itself was 600 dollars 😬😬😬
Fein invented the oscillating tool in 1968 and the patent only ended fairly recently so until then you could ONLY get a Fein multitool, that's most likely why
Good video Nick, well thought out. I use Fein as it has been my choice for many years. I think with Fein, Festool, Bosch, or Makita there all excellent choices. I didn't have any experience with any of the Milkwakee, but I am sure it is a good option. I did think much of the Dewalt do to its construction and performance. Although I know a number of people that love it and use them all the time. The cheap stuff it just that, cheap stuff. If I where a home gamer. I would go with a corded model Bosch at around $200.00. There strong and for now future proof with parts, warrent, and blades.
YEAH BABY!!! LET'S GO!!! Wide range of options for any level and budget requirements. Only thing i'd say with the Festool is dust extraction and battery costs do not make sense to me when teathered to a vac hose. Great job Nick. Happy New Year VCG.
How could you not put the Ridgid JobMax up higher on the list?! I have the 18-volt version which only cost me $80 on sale and even though it's not the Octane one and it's still a beast, I got the tool free change head for it so it's super easy to change blades, also u can clip the attachment on it in 4 different directions. Not to mention it's a multitude of tools in one, I have the Roto-Zip head, the right angle drill head, the right angle 1/4" impact driver head and the Sawzall head for it! If I bought all those tools individually it would cost a fortune and take up a ton of room in my Toolbox! Imagine in addition to buying an oscillating tool that I had to buy a Ridgid Roto-Zip too $119l, a Ridgid right angle drill $139, a Ridgid one handed Sawzall $139 and a right angle impact and I'd have to buy a Milwaukee one for $149 unless I wanted to spend $204 on a makita one. And considering the most expensive attachment for my JobMax was the Sawzall attachment at $50 I think the JobMax is a killer deal and should be way up on the list since it replaces so many tools and saves you hundreds of dollars at the same time! Plus if it ever breaks it's lifetime warranties! Now don't get me wrong I have a lot of Ridgid tools but I have even more Milwaukee tools and will usually buy a Milwaukee tool over a Ridgid one but there's no denying that the JobMax is on hell of a versatile and tough ass tool and I would buy it and the attachment for it any day over buying all the Milwaukee tools that I need to replace it and all the attachments for it!
If you use it for DIY you can't go wrong with a Ryobi. Been beating mine up for 2 years and now using it everyday at work and it's still going strong. If you need one as a Carpenter then I'd go Milwaukee M12
Some nice info, but do your research, man. Bosch AND Fein have invented the StarLock system. All the Fein tools have it for many years already. Bosch multitools are good, Fein are just better. The Festool multitools ( just the tools, not the accessories) - are made by Fein, actually they are Fein models in a Festool skin. You are right about the Makita - unbelievably smooth and quiet, just ridiculously big and heavy ( more like an angle grinder than a multitool). I have the Makita, Dewalt and a Fein SuperCut in my workshop. Very keen on that new small 12V Fuel Milwaukee one.
I have 3 octane multi tools so I’ll be good for a coupe years if I do need service and this model ain’t on their they will send me their newest one anyway so I don’t care
@@DanielGomez-cf6vk lol you can't be kidding me if you believe that your hilarious ... They will forsure fix your old octane and not send you the newest one ... Anyways ridgid has a bad reputation on there lifetime warranty ...
I had the Ridgid electric one for a long time, but rarely used it because plugging a tool in and out several times is just a pain that is not worth it; I use it mostly for cutting in caddy rings. Since I got the Milwaukee M18 one, I use it a lot, along with my M18 vacuum so that as I cut in the rings, I suck up all the dust at the same time. No cleanup time!
You're a fu*kin trip!!!😆.. You got a new sub in me. Great content man! Gonna grab myself a new "japan made" makita version tomorrow! My new favorite channel
You should update this review. I'd like to hear what you think of the new Skil PwrCore 20. I just purchased Milwaukee M12 Fuel, but for the price of the kit (even after discounts) I'm rethinking of switching it to Skil 20V. Just can't find a good comparison of both.
I am considering the latest Bosch model. They advertise their 34N model produce much less vibration that's what I am looking for. Only one thing may pull me down is their starlock blades are expensive.
Callin wallmart “One of the best home-improvement stores in the land” is the biggest stab in the back/slap in the face attacks against Menards, Lowe’s, Home Depot I’ve ever seen. you didn’t have to do them like that Homie 🤣🤣🤣
I picked up a Dewalt Atomic oscillating tool with a 5 ah battery for 129.00 at the depot 8/30/21 I already had the XR I purchased back in 2019 for 99.00 with a 1.3 ah battery and a charger.
I just picked up the new Metabo MT 18 LTX BL QSL. I like it so far, id say it compares to the Bosch pretty well. Its got a funny way of using the starlock mount but still making you use a pin which is a bit odd though.
Dust extraction on a cut off tool makes it number two lmao. It's a cutt off tool. They all get the job done, should or shouldn't b sold. I bought 3 of the two hundred dollar ryobi sets with the non brushless tools for my guys and myself the dewalt and to b honest I've had to use the ryobi a few times bc couldn't get tight enough with dewalt. Not only the but my guys have been using em for two years now and only had battery probs that were dealt with real quick (3days dropped off to my house no probd whatsoever) and then the tools were back at at. Even bought the 6ah batteries for em which sadly had problems also and even they were replaced within days. If never waste the money on such a simple tool. Maybe if I installed floors and had to cut doorways on the regular I'd consider only a mid range but to waste money on top of the price line not even the line is just a waste. Also when it comes to blade change speed u can't beat dewalt, not even a comp. Can't compare squeezing a part to sticking a blade on a magnet and screwing or doing whatever u do to a simple quick squeeze lol. Love milwaukee but not even close. Enjoy vcg tho so watched it for you...even if it gets a lil loud n dramatic with some of u lol. G bless all
Putting Dremel als pro is also a bit of a joke, and while the Bosch is great, the Fein 500 has better vibration control and the 700 also has more power while using the same co-developed Starlock interface.
Hi Nick, im a carpenter across the pond in the UK. Love your channel and the advice is spot on. However, the comparison on product to value for money would change this video all together because I have used everything from green Bosch right up to Panasonic and festool and I have found that the most rugged, long lasting and power to weight ratio tooling on the market is DeWalt. I have Festool equipment sitting in my workshop whilst my van is fully loaded with the DeWalt kit. What are your views on quality vs value?
Bosch only works with Starlock and Starlock plus but Festool works with both of those in addition to the Starlock max (for even bigger or more capable blades). Festool is the clear winner here
i can never understand people getting a finger trigger on a oscillating tool. a switch is what you need, because your most likely going to change hand grip and angle grip.

I didn't have any experience with any of the Milkwakee, but I am sure it is a good option.
I did think much of the Dewalt do to its construction and performance. Although I know a number of people that love it and use them all the time.
The cheap stuff it just that, cheap stuff. If I where a home gamer. I would go with a corded model Bosch at around $200.00. There strong and for now future proof with parts, warrent, and blades.
YEAH BABY!!! LET'S GO!!!
Wide range of options for any level and budget requirements. Only thing i'd say with the Festool is dust extraction and battery costs do not make sense to me when teathered to a vac hose.
Great job Nick. Happy New Year VCG.
Love my Makita oscillating multi tool!
Great video keep it up. Just remember safety, I think around 10:34, the blade could have cut your hand.
How could you not put the Ridgid JobMax up higher on the list?! I have the 18-volt version which only cost me $80 on sale and even though it's not the Octane one and it's still a beast, I got the tool free change head for it so it's super easy to change blades, also u can clip the attachment on it in 4 different directions. Not to mention it's a multitude of tools in one, I have the Roto-Zip head, the right angle drill head, the right angle 1/4" impact driver head and the Sawzall head for it! If I bought all those tools individually it would cost a fortune and take up a ton of room in my Toolbox! Imagine in addition to buying an oscillating tool that I had to buy a Ridgid Roto-Zip too $119l, a Ridgid right angle drill $139, a Ridgid one handed Sawzall $139 and a right angle impact and I'd have to buy a Milwaukee one for $149 unless I wanted to spend $204 on a makita one. And considering the most expensive attachment for my JobMax was the Sawzall attachment at $50 I think the JobMax is a killer deal and should be way up on the list since it replaces so many tools and saves you hundreds of dollars at the same time! Plus if it ever breaks it's lifetime warranties! Now don't get me wrong I have a lot of Ridgid tools but I have even more Milwaukee tools and will usually buy a Milwaukee tool over a Ridgid one but there's no denying that the JobMax is on hell of a versatile and tough ass tool and I would buy it and the attachment for it any day over buying all the Milwaukee tools that I need to replace it and all the attachments for it!
Yo this dude is hilarious. I feel like I'm about to watch a Battle Bots match or something. Keep killin it bro.
Watching this video on 1.5x speed makes me feel like the shamwow guy is back. Great vid
You forgot the skil brand, which VGC reviewed very positively. Sad.
We all make beginner mistakes, it'll be alright.
That was awesome man.
Im looking for my first one.
I'm noticing this tool is required more frequently than others in the jack of all trades relm.
If you use it for DIY you can't go wrong with a Ryobi. Been beating mine up for 2 years and now using it everyday at work and it's still going strong. If you need one as a Carpenter then I'd go Milwaukee M12
Not a DeWalt fanboy, but that trigger lock is pure genius
That’s a lot of good information on oscillating tools
Bosch !!!!!! Had this baby for 1 1/2 years what a monster, variable speed and precision, love the starlock blades... Thanks Nick, where's Vince???
Some nice info, but do your research, man. Bosch AND Fein have invented the StarLock system. All the Fein tools have it for many years already. Bosch multitools are good, Fein are just better. The Festool multitools ( just the tools, not the accessories) - are made by Fein, actually they are Fein models in a Festool skin. You are right about the Makita - unbelievably smooth and quiet, just ridiculously big and heavy ( more like an angle grinder than a multitool). I have the Makita, Dewalt and a Fein SuperCut in my workshop. Very keen on that new small 12V Fuel Milwaukee one.
Love my ridgid octane tools and have all their heads
How do you feel now that ridgid has abandoned your octane ?
I have 3 octane multi tools so I’ll be good for a coupe years if I do need service and this model ain’t on their they will send me their newest one anyway so I don’t care
@@DanielGomez-cf6vk lol you can't be kidding me if you believe that your hilarious ... They will forsure fix your old octane and not send you the newest one ... Anyways ridgid has a bad reputation on there lifetime warranty ...
With TTR on the disabled list I haven't heard screams like this in months! 😂
Hell yeah we want to see the Ryobi unboxed!
This guys is great hahahaha! Love it my man!
Just got the DeWalt DCS354B and love it.
I had the Ridgid electric one for a long time, but rarely used it because plugging a tool in and out several times is just a pain that is not worth it; I use it mostly for cutting in caddy rings. Since I got the Milwaukee M18 one, I use it a lot, along with my M18 vacuum so that as I cut in the rings, I suck up all the dust at the same time. No cleanup time!
You're a fu*kin trip!!!😆..
You got a new sub in me. Great content man!
Gonna grab myself a new "japan made" makita version tomorrow!
My new favorite channel
Great job Nick!
You should update this review. I'd like to hear what you think of the new Skil PwrCore 20. I just purchased Milwaukee M12 Fuel, but for the price of the kit (even after discounts) I'm rethinking of switching it to Skil 20V. Just can't find a good comparison of both.
The m12 oscilating is the one i would buy looks powerfull and lightweight
Buy next
Have one, love it. Will not be disappointed. More power than a 18v LXT makita I’ve found.
I've had the dewalt for about 4-5 years works great for me as a general contractor
@@jasonswoger410 this is the one i have and even its not the faster cuting multitool i love it too made everything i want i pair it with the 8ah
@@jasonswoger410 i am a carpenter
I am considering the latest Bosch model. They advertise their 34N model produce much less vibration that's what I am looking for.
Only one thing may pull me down is their starlock blades are expensive.
I got the Makita oscillating tool, it’s really good. But any good oscillating tool will save you so much time. Can’t do without anymore
love my m12 multitool. comes in handy
Callin wallmart “One of the best home-improvement stores in the land” is the biggest stab in the back/slap in the face attacks against Menards, Lowe’s, Home Depot I’ve ever seen. you didn’t have to do them like that Homie 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine defending big box stores though
How do you feel about the 12v extream from DeWalt
Good stuff...thanks for posting! ☕️🤘
I picked up a Dewalt Atomic oscillating tool with a 5 ah battery for 129.00 at the depot 8/30/21 I already had the XR I purchased back in 2019 for 99.00 with a 1.3 ah battery and a charger.
I just picked up the new Metabo MT 18 LTX BL QSL. I like it so far, id say it compares to the Bosch pretty well. Its got a funny way of using the starlock mount but still making you use a pin which is a bit odd though.
The kobalt also has magnets where you set the blade
No one cares about kobalt though, lol
@@stevennihipali3607 I do I have it it's great
? Milwaukee has it too. Try Starlock system. The magnet would mean nothing after.
Excellent information. Just can’t watch it all because I don’t like to be yelled at for a half hour. Simmer down Beavis this isn’t the WWE.
Thanks for the in-depth opinions of these tools!
Love the video... Great list... Keep up the great work y'all are doing
GREAT JOB NICK YOU DA BOMB!!!!
You really should shout a bit louder and wave your hands about a lot more to get your point across.
Dust extraction on a cut off tool makes it number two lmao. It's a cutt off tool. They all get the job done, should or shouldn't b sold. I bought 3 of the two hundred dollar ryobi sets with the non brushless tools for my guys and myself the dewalt and to b honest I've had to use the ryobi a few times bc couldn't get tight enough with dewalt. Not only the but my guys have been using em for two years now and only had battery probs that were dealt with real quick (3days dropped off to my house no probd whatsoever) and then the tools were back at at. Even bought the 6ah batteries for em which sadly had problems also and even they were replaced within days. If never waste the money on such a simple tool. Maybe if I installed floors and had to cut doorways on the regular I'd consider only a mid range but to waste money on top of the price line not even the line is just a waste. Also when it comes to blade change speed u can't beat dewalt, not even a comp. Can't compare squeezing a part to sticking a blade on a magnet and screwing or doing whatever u do to a simple quick squeeze lol. Love milwaukee but not even close. Enjoy vcg tho so watched it for you...even if it gets a lil loud n dramatic with some of u lol. G bless all
Good hearing from a contractor. I'm a DIYer myself and don't even own an oscillating tool but I do like hearing from the VCG gang. Stay safe out there
Fantastic video,Ono Guy’s!
Fein originally make the multi tool as a cast cutter, I remember the Dr pulling one out to cut my cast off as a kid in the 80's
That is interesting when you put Worx im the DIY category and Rockwell one step higher while they're the same tool with different brand on the case.
Putting Dremel als pro is also a bit of a joke, and while the Bosch is great, the Fein 500 has better vibration control and the 700 also has more power while using the same co-developed Starlock interface.
Glad to see you back Nick! 👍🏻
I'm a proud Makita owner but I honestly think the new milwaukee m12 is the best multi tool I tried 👍🏻
Hi Nick, im a carpenter across the pond in the UK. Love your channel and the advice is spot on.
However, the comparison on product to value for money would change this video all together because I have used everything from green Bosch right up to Panasonic and festool and I have found that the most rugged, long lasting and power to weight ratio tooling on the market is DeWalt. I have Festool equipment sitting in my workshop whilst my van is fully loaded with the DeWalt kit.
What are your views on quality vs value?
Bosch only works with Starlock and Starlock plus but Festool works with both of those in addition to the Starlock max (for even bigger or more capable blades). Festool is the clear winner here
M12 fuel one is bad ass! Use it daily
With daredevil blades
i can never understand people getting a finger trigger on a oscillating tool. a switch is what you need, because your most likely going to change hand grip and angle grip.
nah dewalts variable speed trigger is game changing
Dood ramped up from 3k to 21k
Explaining the dremel.
Nicely done bro.
Except the Dremel is in no way a pro level tool. It's higher-end DIY at best.
If you zoom in, you can still see the blow on the counter.
Why you are yealing all the time?
If u had to get a m18 fuel or m12 fuel oscillating tools…which would u get and why??
I agree with your list
Definitely BOSCH is no 1 with Starlock
Keep up the good work nick
