Calling all multi-tool owners

Makhaira · 4 Jun 2013 at 21:08

I've got a Bosch GOP 250CE multi-tool which I'm really pleased with, but I need some new blades, and was wondering what people recommended. My approach with most accessories tends to be that good 3rd party ones are more than acceptable, it's just knowing the good 3rd party ones!

I'm mainly after a metal and wood plunge cut blade, and also a diamond coated tile attachment.

Cheers!

Saxton blades seem to be decent. They are a lot cheaper than the official Bosch blades and mine have held up well so far.

They also sell them on ebay.

Cheers, I was eyeing up Saxton as my first choice.

How do the diamond coated and carbide coated blades fair for cutting ceramic tiles? Got a couple of fiddly bits that would be great to do with the tool, but they're not the softest tiles I've ever encountered and would rather not fritter £12 away on an ineffectual disc!

I also have a Bosch GOP 250CE, brilliant tool, everybody should have a multi tool,not necessarily top of the range Bosch, it's a tool with so many uses.

Saxton blades are superb, can't fault them, use them all the time, look on the bay, you can find packs of Saxton assorted blades.

Saxton it is then! Cheers.

Any experience with using the diamond or carbide blades and how well they deal with tiles?

Just getting a stash of 35mm bimetal blades for now, I'll get specialist blades as and when I need them.
