    Check "shark" blades out on Ebay for good replacement blades at good prices too.

    Yep, only on my first one, but so far so good,pretty certain they worked out cheaper than shark blades, good delivery etc. The teeth are a bit longer so they cut fast, but let them do the work or they can dig a bit if you hurry. I'm not saying the shark blades are bad, but i had a pack of ten, 8 just apart, unlike the Feins.
    Wouldn't be without the multimaster, such a useful bit of kit.
