Keep the tool blade moving and clear out the saw dust regularly. The heat from the friction is the thing which will kill the blade quickly and they are expensive what every the brand. Lovely fit on the newel Robin
Hi Robin, have you ever done a video which shows how you set out an oak frame? I’ve never seen a good video showing the posts going in and all the complex joinery at the top all fitting. Great channel by the way.
Quality work at its finest Got the bosch myself has dust and depth attachments and wide variety of blades Battery definitely seems good on this machine
Robin thanks for the Master Class , the fit was perfect , I can see why your work is so good , the respect you show the wood is one of the reasons why . Big fan from OZ
great tool but my top tip for ANYONE using any multitool is to buy yourself a pair of the vibration protection gloves, brilliant for the multitool and any other vibrating tool like sanders etc
Nothing saves your hands from vibration of corded DeWalt multi-cutter. Got one in a pre-Christmas sale, far more powerful than an old green Bosch. Builder pal mocked but ended up loving it, so I gave him mine and got another in next year's sale. But numb hands was always a problem. Left at daughter's, needed it, bought bare 18V Milwaukee as have drill/driver 4AHr pack. Wow! Night and day better than the corded DeWalt. Now finding all corded DeWalt gear is junk, even stuff that was good ten to 30 years ago. Electrician friend got a cordless Fein after borrowing my corded DeWalt - vastly superior
@@cuebj I have Milwaukee M18FMT-0X 18V Li-Ion RedLithium Brushless and its superb, but the gloves do make a difference if you are using it for a length of time for sure. I use it daily and some times for 2 hours at the begining of the job removing newel posts
Thanks again Robin ... you share soooo much and the channel has been an absolute delight ... Hope your summer is going perfectly and I need to buy some merch toooo
Robin, you are a fine Carpenter. I like the way the multi tool blade change. I bought the new Metabo multi tool. Although I'm pleased with the metabo, I have to take care changing blades as pulling out it may bite if you are not careful. The hilti blade change somewhat eliminates that probability.
Wouldn't mind giving it a go. Hilti pretty scarce around me. But a good multitool is such a go to tool. Have tried and owned a lot of brands. Currently using Dewalt. That shakes you to pieces. The big issue is price. Not just the unit. But blades. Starlock blades are a second mortgage. One reason I run Dewalt. Cheap blades. Yet to find any so called hardwood blades that cut real hardwood. English or American Oak is Pine compared to some gums or Ironbark. One cut if you are lucky and the blade is stuffed. Expensive with good blades. If someone could make blades that cut multiple cuts in Aussie hardwood. I would go with that system. Still waiting.
did you know robin that with star lock blades you can just pop the blade in without having to pull the leaver back, you only need to pull the leaver to release the blade!!
Robin. What a machine. I will not, however trade my 110 Fein or my Cheapy 240 Sealey (A bit loud but useful). I gave my Bosch to my son who has made a real list of jobs that have been through the whole gamut of what an M/T can do. My only gripe is the cost of blades.. Thanks for the demo... real good stuff. Bob (Weston super Mare)
I have used both machines and the Hilti does feel completely different to the flex, it is also surprisingly good value at a couple of hundred pounds bare
Well spotted. The Hilti promo video has a shot showing the unit as exploded parts, compare that to the parts manual for the Flex MT 18.0-EC and they have exactly the same internal parts. Probably also shares the control system of the 24v USA versions.
Look very light and seam to fit the hand very nicely I’ve got a jcb one but not used it yet just for DIY stuff around the house, Great vlog and good tips as always 👍👍👍👍
Not to be rude Robin but this one sounds very much like a commericial unlike your other Videos. No question however a very sexy machine! Suspect many will stick to their Fein ones and few will buy in a new akku system unless you are on hilti already. Thanks for your content.
Thanks Robin, they are such useful tools, what did we do without them ? I'm still using my 20+ y/o Fein corded but added a 12v Bosch pro. I'm sure it will be out of my league price wise, but it looks a great professional tool with plenty of power. Beautiful fit on that newel, your scribing skills are amazing, years of practice of course !
Were you really happy with the finish of the cut or did you go over it with a chisel to smoothen things out? The finish of the cut really does not match your standards of workmanship The tool looks ok to use for small bits & pieces
Use to buy hilti all the time years ago ,but don’t bother now overpriced and the service light is a con got round that with a infrared temperature gun,bought a festool grinder a few years ago that was the exact same spec as hilti grinder looked identical apart from the colours obviously later found out they were both made in the same factory in Hungary festool was around £200 cheaper.
I went to the Hilti Store and asked if they have a Mitre saw coming, they didn't know what a mitre saw was. I tried drop saw, still nothing lol.. Feels like Hilti just hires a bunch of sales guys with no construction background. I was actually looking for a laser at the time, so just went and got a Bosch for half the cost, at least store that sold Bosch knew the basics about the features and where calibration is done. Person at the Hilti store said she didn't know anything about lasers and needed to get a Rep to call me about it..., seems just crazy. Will give Hilti another shot when lll be buying an impact wrench, heard they got torque settings for specific hardware, so you can just set and forget it. Dewalt multitool seems alot better though with its variable speed trigger.
Hilti is an overrated company, poor quality from China, why buy these machines if hilti does not service machines older than 10 years. I trust the quality and services, the company has colossal problems with the service, I ordered the machine in February, it was delivered to me yesterday, I replaced the screwdriver bits, shipping cost 30 euros. and these new batteries are awfully heavy, I advise against buying Hilti too expensive for the quality.
Im not sure its best used on oak Robin, 12 million pound on hilti blades later, to be fair thats only 2 blades with hilti, we have over 40k worth of kit from them, they dont support our battery platform, anymore 22volt, but not to worry there selling off the old tool stock, unfortunately they want more for it now its defunct, about 30% more, there taking a lend of us all now, highway robbery
Dont bother with Hilti either get Milwaukee Dewalt Makita Metabo or Bosch Pro, they are pro level tools and every bit as good as Hilti and in many instances much better for half the price ! In fact a lot of Hiltis tools are actually Bosch tools rebranded for twice the price ! Worse still I saw a video the other day on Dean Dohertys tool repair channel, where he opened up the £1000 Hilti GX90WF framing nailer, and showed that the internals were EXACTLY the same as the cheapest off the shelf nailer, a TJEP gun. The same gun also rebranded for Senco, Rawlplug and KMR to name but a few that you can buy for less than £300 Hilti are charging £700 just to have a Hilti Branded cover its outrageous ! Hilti aren't the company they used to be, they are just scam artists trading on their previous good name at this point !
@@ricos1497 I put a comment in the main section here but someone keeps deleting it Hmmmm. Anyway Dean Dohertys channel is really good, nobody knows tools better than the people who repair them ! they know all the strengths and weaknesses and they recognise cheap internals when they see them. Ive always hated Hiltis rip off pricing, but even I was shocked when I saw that !
Well I was rather disappointed with this video that purportedly was to review the Hilti Mulitool that incidentally looked absolutely stunning and invaluable for woodworking. Unfortunately Robin seemed to spend the majority of his videos ( well he would, wouldn’t he ) talking about the job, the this the that and failed to deliver a sensible detailed and informative review if this tool . Wasted opportunity
Hi Andrew, I try not to do "tool reviews" I am happy to try various tools in my everyday work as it is the most important thing to me, I am here to share my craft and knowledge with the view to help others
Robin's infomercials are one of the very few that are actually worth watching. You always learn something.
I appreciate the fact he doesn't skip over bits and isn't in a rush. Everything explained and shown. The sped up parts are always carefully chosen.
That sound when it slipped into place. Robin is absolute class
Keep the tool blade moving and clear out the saw dust regularly. The heat from the friction is the thing which will kill the blade quickly and they are expensive what every the brand.
Lovely fit on the newel Robin
Pretty gentle on the framer. My biggest challenge with a multi-tool is when the cut stops short or ends in a corner. Keep from over cutting.
Hi Robin, have you ever done a video which shows how you set out an oak frame? I’ve never seen a good video showing the posts going in and all the complex joinery at the top all fitting. Great channel by the way.
Its such a handy tool its unreal i use mine all the time , after my impact its my most used tool without a doubt
Quality work at its finest
Got the bosch myself has dust and depth attachments and wide variety of blades
Battery definitely seems good on this machine
Great video, but I think you made that tool look good. I’m sure you’d have done the same if it was a Hilton chain saw. Awesome skills👍
I'm loving the Six Million Dollar Man sawing action. Top job Robin.
Pretty good but I swear by my cordless Fein...a comparison would be interesting!
Robin thanks for the Master Class , the fit was perfect , I can see why your work is so good , the respect you show the wood is one of the reasons why . Big fan from OZ
i have had a hilti 6mm 100mm bit since 1985 !! its all about the quality of the bits

Top job Robin.loving all the vids mate
Nice Robin, stairs look great at the end too!
You should be able to just press the blade onto the blade holder without opening the holder. You only need to open it to release the blade
Looks like a pretty sweet tool.
Yes you’re not wrong about Oak is hard. Stuff I’ve been working with is like steel.
This looks like a rebranded Flex multitool in Hilti colors. They probably charge a big premium over the Flex bland.
I have used both machines and the Hilti does feel completely different to the flex, it is also surprisingly good value at a couple of hundred pounds bare
Well spotted. The Hilti promo video has a shot showing the unit as exploded parts, compare that to the parts manual for the Flex MT 18.0-EC and they have exactly the same internal parts. Probably also shares the control system of the 24v USA versions.
It seems it is produced by chervon, you can buy their "brother" under brand devon for about 200$ kit
Look very light and seam to fit the hand very nicely I’ve got a jcb one but not used it yet just for DIY stuff around the house,
Great vlog and good tips as always 👍👍👍👍
Looks always so easy, great work! I would have burnt the house with a dull blade and too much pressure, I bet.
Not to be rude Robin but this one sounds very much like a commericial unlike your other Videos.
No question however a very sexy machine! Suspect many will stick to their Fein ones and few will buy in a new akku system unless you are on hilti already.

Hilti tools never disappoint. What so they retail at? What is the paper above the ceiling that can be seen?
Bare unit starts at £180.00
Any garden rooms coming up Robin?
Dang! That looks like the One multitool to rule them all!
Go Fein. But Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch all good. Avoid DeWalt corded
Yo Robbin, nice saw. Still bloody noisy though! what do you think of the Japanese pull saws?
Nice hilti/flex tool but still cannot beat fein i have them both i send back the hilti
Would a small easily portable band saw not be better?
There are very few on the market, the main player is Mafell and that machine is about 4.5k
Seems a decent bit of kit...
Another tool to add to the list! cheers
I just may get one of these despite having Fein and Festool branded Fein coming out of my ears.
Amazing as always.
i found if you spray some Dry PTFE on the blade thay cut better
I will try that!!
I don’t think I’d ever use a multi tool on finished timber !
Anyone know what trousers he has? 10/10 would buy
Only issue is that you would make it look the same even if you used a hammer n bolster 😂😂 pukka work as always. Hope your well 👍🏼
better than makita?
Great looking multi tool, precision work on the oak there to, nice one 👍
10:05 TUNE!!!
Were you really happy with the finish of the cut or did you go over it with a chisel to smoothen things out? The finish of the cut really does not match your standards of workmanship
The tool looks ok to use for small bits & pieces
If only I could afford Robin to work on my house, Ah well one can dream.....
I am not that expensive!! remember the old saying "buy well buy once"
way easier to change the blade than my Metabo
Use to buy hilti all the time years ago ,but don’t bother now overpriced and the service light is a con got round that with a infrared temperature gun,bought a festool grinder a few years ago that was the exact same spec as hilti grinder looked identical apart from the colours obviously later found out they were both made in the same factory in Hungary festool was around £200 cheaper.
for Hilti to be 200 more than a festool and by the same metric a Mafell is disgraceful.
Have a drink every time he says "Multi tool"
Well, it is advertorial for a multitool. Still useful info
I went to the Hilti Store and asked if they have a Mitre saw coming, they didn't know what a mitre saw was. I tried drop saw, still nothing lol..

Will give Hilti another shot when lll be buying an impact wrench, heard they got torque settings for specific hardware, so you can just set and forget it.
Dewalt multitool seems alot better though with its variable speed trigger.
欲しい～ー
Mint that
I love multi-tool but they are noisy. There is not really a solution for that other then ear protection and being nice to neighbours.
I want😃😃
The smart lock is shit i just order the multitool i will swnd it back directly no comparasion with fein or festool🤦
Only £3000
From £180 for the bare unit
