They are invaluable for jobs like that, Ive got a little pencil router, it's something between a router and a dremel I prefer to use for a lot of rough stuff (quieter and dust extracted) but I still need the multisaw for a lot of stuff

 I bought mine last year after seeing the electrician who rewired our house butcher the floorboards/plaster board walls/ coving and all other stuff with it. His had been very used and abused, still going strong so I thought that'll do for me. The 5ah batteries last well too.

No I intentionally blew it up. The blade change was painful, it had to go!
The DW multi trigger does work well, by all means have a go with mine but I’m in Essex most days at the minute

Yeh, I'd half expect a few suggestions for gerber or leatherman tools if I say multitools
Most people seem to know what I'm talking about when I say "pass the asbo"

Do you mean a multi tool by any chance? I have a cordless DW, good but as noj says, noisy.

When the bosch packed up, was the motor running but no movement at the blade? I've fixed loads of them, it's the stupid nylon bit that costs £1
Speed control would be good, although some of the auto sensing tools do my head in, a makita jigsaw I used recently was awful, suddenly jumping to full speed when you are barely squeezing the trigger for a delicate turn

I had an old mains blue Bosch one, with the hex key blade change. I was glad when that thing packed up
To be fair the only battery ones I’ve used are Makita and dewalt, they’re not even in the same league.
It’s definitely a tool that suits being cordless as I think the speed control of mine is the best bit and mains never has that level of control. It did go funny once when a labourer cut 8’ along the edge of a 25mm birch ply sheet with it

I'll have a look, have been looking at fein and milwaukee ones. I have some bosch 12v tools, I am tempted by the 12v multisaw but bosch have a stoopid design with a little nylon sleeve between the motor and gearbox I've changed probably 5 times on mine, and Ive hardly used it due to the asbo noise levels

Dewalt has the best blade system IMO and speed sensitive trigger, I have the cordless one.
It’s pretty noisy though

Can anyone recommend a quiet multisaw?
I have a bosch one that's uncomfortably loud even with ear defenders, and have been using a cheapo bauker one in preference to it for the last couple of years, the blades no longer lock securely so I've had to use the bosch.
The festool ones are too expensive so I've ruled out a bare one to take my batteries.
Ideally I'm looking at sub £200 but would stretch that for quiet and cordless
