I might be wrong, but I think that only the 36v tools will accept the cord. The 18v will accept the 36 multi volt battery which give the tools premium power but not the cord. You need a 36 v tool for the cord. I’m pretty sure of that.
The A setting is like a line start or soft start so it dosnt jitter off your start point. More useful on trimwork and undercutting casings and such near finished surfaces. Once you apply pressure it will ramp up speed. Not sure I would need that feature but hey....
Have had one of these for 2-3 years now. Yes, robust is correct, it's a solid tool. My only complaint is that instead of an on/off slide and the dial speed control, a trigger like the DeWalt would be much better.
I have the original Fein tool with all its attachments. I think back when I bought it, it was upwards or $600.00. With case and accessories. Probably use it for something at least once a day. Wish I could convert it to cordless. One of the most versatile tools I own.
I may be wrong. But from what I've seen. And for using the Metabo. The "A" speed isnt fantastic. Just keep it in "5". Metabo tools have ALOT of torque. So the Automatic mode requires alot of pressure before its increase its speed
I saw that and was surprised, and avoided this tool. Concord Carpenter did their own comparison of all the top multi-tools and this one came in middle of the road, like 5th place or something, which makes more sense. They also had it as one of the quietest with least vibration, while Project Farm had it loudest and most vibration, and worse than even the cheap brands. Either they got a defective jam saw, or they were using it wrong, or their testing scheme is all jacked up. Maybe they used the stock blade in each one? Either way, I'm sure this tool is decent, but I would highly recommend getting the M12 or M18 fuel for this kind of tool, even if you use Hitachi tools. I have the M12 and I've used the M18 many times, and they're the best out there in comfort and power, and ease of use.
You have one? I'm tempted buying it because I already have an impact driver and the 18v batteries, also ots cheap...but damn I don't want to buy some useless garbage.

Thanks for clearing up how to change blade!!
I already lost the tool shaft. I ordered it awhile ago. Still no part. I'll stick with the bosch. Metabo is a paper weight.

thanks. Straight forward and filled me in on my new tool. Excellent.

Well, just get the newest 18V Fein SuperCut.. :) You won't regret it. I also have an old corded Fein MultiMaster - and now it sits in the case.
@@sizif717 that's fein for u but green for me😃
I lost the stupid blade locking bolt within days and can't find a replacement
If thats fast forward, and hopefully the lack of labeling wasn't intentional, seems like it was painfully slow.
It's big and powerful
That's what she said.. LOL
I like it, but I don't want another 18 Volt Charger and batteries.. I like Milwaukee M18. Good for me...
It was reviewed yesterday by Project Farm channel and it was the worse oscillating tool of any brand. Wonder what was wrong
He didn’t use the 36v multivolt battery, he used the regular 18v. Unfortunately Metabo strength is reliant on the battery it uses.

I like metabo hpt products but This multitool sucks, not hating just the truth

@@mexicanlucky i returned it. I like the milwaukee m18 fuel best, and flex a close 2nd.
@@mexicanluckyMine works great for several years now.
