Bosch PMF 180 E Multi

Our pals over at Toologics got the big scoop yesterday when they posted about Bosch's new PMF 180 E Multi. It appears to be very similar to the amazing Fein MultiMaster and since the Bosch name screams quality, it should be quite a tool, not to mention some much needed competition in the niche market of oscillating tools. As reported at Toologics, the tool is only available in Europe at the moment, but it appears to be selling at less than half the price of the Fein. No word yet when it's coming to the States.

We did a little research and found the tool on Amazon's German site. With the help of an online language to language application, we translated the lone posted comment. The reviewer had this to say,

Hello, I have bought the device today and am inspired by the achievement circumference. It substitutes for several other Bosch devices and is useable for work which could be differently barely managed (the Terse take a short-cut, doors shorten etc.). On the homepage of Bosch a nice video about the achievement circumference is put nowadays. Hence, I can only recommend you the device.

Very well put.

I shot off an email to Amazon UK and they cannot ship the Bosch PMF 180E to the sates and at present it only comes in 240volts.

Just wondering why Bosch hasn't introduced the corded 110v version of this power tool in the USA? I've heard the battery powered one lasts 20 minutes per charge which could be a negative to many commercial and DIY folks.

So far, the Rockwell looks like best buy for the average DIY'er. Probably the one I'll buy.

I have been reviewing which multi-tool to buy. The corded versions look to be the best. I sent an email to Bosch to see when the PMF 180 E would be offered in the states. Their response was that they have no plans to offer it in the states. They suggested their sister company Dremel. I bought the Rockwell RK then reviewed your site and I am glad I did. This tool seems to be a work horse. I purchased it at Menards as a kit.
