Crofter Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I'm going to be using my oscillating multi tool a fair bit, and the prices for blades are a bit eye watering. Anybody got a heads up on an economical source for these things? I'd rather do a bulk buy of half decent cheap ones than get a few premium blades, because you never know when you're going to hit a nail... If it helps, I'll be mostly cutting plasterboard and softwood framing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 The genuine ones are better But as soon as you hit a bit of concrete or a nail They are knackered Get a big bag full of cheapest off eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G and J Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 My multi tool is the only bit of Makita kit I’ve ever worn out, but it has done ridiculously long hours of use, staggeringly helpful bit if kit. Still going but it’s on its last legs. I bought a load of cheap star blades before I discovered quick change blades but a couple of seconds with my angle grinder converts one to ‘tother.

Still going but it’s on its last legs. Don't throw it away. Easy repair. I was given 2 by a joiner, both "worn out" and replaced for free by Makita under guarantee. In both cases it was the front bearing of the motor that had worn out. I bought 2 replacement motors for about £20 each from ebay. Mine is still going strong, the other went back to it's original owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought 20 for a tenner on Amazon next day delivery, not sure it gets much cheaper. Use them, bin them, get more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
