    Compatability of multi-tool blades

    I know that the Rockwell, Bosch, HF, and other multi function oscilating tools work with other brand's blades. However, can someone tell me if there's a way for the Fein tool to work with the cheaper guy's blades?

    The Fein is getting cheap enough to look at, but the blades are still so rediculously expensive... and I have quite a few blades for the Rockwell that I have.

    Thanks!

    I picked up several different HF blades just after HF started selling them and they work OK on my Fein.

    ON occasion, they "slip" a bit because I have the older Fein that does not have the dimples or ridges. I have the "adapter" for the dimpled blades, but the adapter does not have anything to hold onto except the tightness of the screw.

    I just remembered that I picked up some of the approximate 1" wide saw type blades from my local hardware store last summer. I forget what brand they were but I think it was the Rockwell tool. They worked great on the Fein also!
