gear test: Bosch PMF 250 CES

During the refit of Geronimo this year, I use quite often the Bosch Mulittool PMF 250 CES and I love it.

I first stumbled over the Multitools at my work, and I found them quite handy. So my christmas present was the Bosch PMF 250 CES.

So what can you do with this nasty device ?

• Cutting wood, metal and stone
• grinding
• scrabbing
• milling

The great advantage of this cutting method is that the crisps do not fly half a mile away, like when you use a angle grinder. So if you cut a bolt with an angle grinder you normallly have some burnt marks or flush rust. I don´t except flush rust with a multitool.
In my opinion , you also have much more controll with these tool than with an angle grinder or jig saw.

So during this year refit of Geronimo I have grinded a lot with it and I even cut stainless steel bolts with it, without leaving any marks on deck.

 Simply set the cutting tool on deck and cut with low pressure the bolt away, easy and nearly clean work.

So in my opinion a clearly must have device, if you do a refit.

Is it spring......???

Well the winter is still there. Geronimo is still waiting for her new paintshop. I have grinded the whole deck and the hull, last saturday in a small snow blizzard, with windspeeds around 25 knots, quite nice. But with temperatures around 0°C up tp 5°C, a paintshop isn´t possible.
I also helped my Dad to bring his boat back in the water. I love "Do It"´s engine, for her size it is a little bit oversized, but you can stop and accelerate her in no time, a very big feature in strong winds. So she is big in her element and Geronimo...... waiting for spring.......
