Top 10 Best Multi-Tools in the UK 2021 (DeWalt, Bosch and More)

We've decided to open our list with a more budget-friendly option. This is in no way to say that they're bad, but when it comes to power tools, you often get what you pay for. With that in mind, this multi-tool from Mylek is great for occasional work around the house and garden.

This kit will happily cover all of your sanding and wood cutting needs, although it won't be able to handle the rigours of a modern day building site. Similarly, if you were to compare this to a professional multi-tool, there would be a noticeable difference in terms of build quality.

Similar to the previous entry, this cost-effective option from VonHaus is another great choice when working around the home. In particular, the amount of attachments and accessories you get for the price is very good value indeed!

However, you will be aware of the fact that this is a budget tool when using it, as it doesn't quite reach the power and speeds of more professional-grade options. The build quality is also noticeably cheap, but it will get the job done.

If you're looking for a cheap and effective option to have around the home for light repairs or the occasional DIY project, then we recommend this little kit from Excel. It has everything you would expect from a multi-tool, and can reach some quite impressive speeds.

Despite the name, you should be aware that this will not be suitable for industrial grade work, as is the case with other budget multi-tools. Stick to working with softer materials, like wood and grouting, and you'll be fine.

This cordless offering from Makita is an incredible multi-tool, and is up there among the best in terms of build quality and handling. If you're after a professional choice when moving from location to location, this is well worth the investment.

That said, it's going to be an investment, as the body alone sits at an already high price. On top of that, you'll also have to factor in the cost of additional attachments, as well as batteries and a charger. If you don't have these already, you could be looking at doubling the price before you're ready to work.

This is the corded version of the previous entry and, like with all Makita power tools, you'll find the build quality is some of the best on the market today. It's also surprisingly quiet when compared to other multi-tools of similar power.

While it comes with a large carry case, there aren't any other accessories included which may put some customers off. But, the OIS interface means that you're not just limited to Makita brand accessories.

For those of you out there who already know about Milwaukee, it won't be much of a hard sell for you to already be clicking that "buy now" button. But for those of you who aren't familiar with the brand, Malwaukee are an industry leader in power tools for the professional trade.

Along with the body, you'll be getting a cutter and sanding materials but, like many others, batteries and a charger are sold separately. Luckily, it works with all Milwaukee M18 batteries, which offer 20% more uptime, and twice the power and battery life as the average lithuim-ion battery.

Due to the price tag, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Einhell Multifunction Tool is a budget option that's only suitable for light work, but that couldn't be further from the truth. This is a high-quality, lightweight tool that's the perfect representation of German engineering.

While it doesn't come with a battery and charger, you can easily buy them together as a bundle. They can all also be used with other members of the Power X-Change family, so if you're planning on starting a tool collection, Einhell are a great way of doing so cheaply.

When it comes to cordless, portable multi-tools, this offering from DeWalt is the pick of the bunch thanks to its compact 300w brushless motor delivering incredible power. It's also one of the few tools with fully variable speeds from 0 - 22,000 rpm!

Unlike many of the other industrial standard options on our list, this comes with plenty of attachments and accessories to help get you started. Although, it's worth noting the battery pack isn't included. If you have other DeWalt tools, however, the battery packs are mostly interchangeable.

Bosch are a true market leader in the world of DIY tools, and the PMF 220 is probably the best option out there for beginners looking to take on their first home renovations and repairs. Once you get to grips with the basics, there are plenty of additional attachments out there. 

If you're in the market for a cheap, simple and reliable multi-tool, then you won't find one much better than this. The kit comes with a carry case, a saw and sanding materials, and thanks to the fact it runs off mains electricity, you won't have to worry about the additional cost of picking up a battery pack and charger!

If you're looking for the absolute best multi-tool on the market today, then our recommendation would be this corded model from DeWalt. Featuring a pressure sensitive trigger with fully variable speed, as well as a rocker switch for continual operation, this professional grade tool will have you covered in a any situation.

This kit has everything you need to dive straight into whatever project you're planning. Included the tool itself is a handy hard case for transportation and storage, and plenty of accessories making for a total of 37 pieces! The bright LED light also makes working in low-light conditions safe and hassle free.
