    Multi tool blade compatibility

    I have a HF multi tool (corded) and a bunch of blades for it. I bought a Craftsman Cordless Nextec multi tool as part of a package. I didn't really realize the blades from the HF aren't compatible with the Craftsman.

    My question is, is there an adapter that will allow me to use my blades on the Craftsman?

    If not, what blades can I use other than Craftsman? I've seen an adapter to use Dremel blades on the Craftsman, but am not sure if that helps me.

    I've seen some websites that sell blades that are compatible with almost all the multi tools, and I guess going forward, would go that route. I hate to not use the 30 or so blades I already have now though.

    I know I've seen adapters here and there. Bosch has one, and I think there's an adapter for Fein blades, too.

    Sorry I can't be more help; I haven't had the need to even buy new blades yet for my HF unit.

      I did look around. The dremel adapter didn't work. I bought the Bosch adapter at Home Depot and that worked! I can use my HF attachments on the Craftsman. The adapter was only $4.
