Jim, Have you actually tried looking yourself?

This a popular complaint about these tools and a simple search on ebay
gives nearly 2200 hits

An archive search of UK.d-i-y will also give you lots of information.

I know JFGI type responses are frustrating sometimes but this question
is not at all hard to find answers to.

Fyi Bob etc the archive search reveals old cpc offers (now long gone), ebay sellers (not currently listing candidates) & several references to Saxton.

Indeed I have jfgi & jfei & am asking for recommendations NOT adverts....

Thanks for your efforts

Used these guys via ebay and they were fine, price and quality wise. Not sure if they still ship to UK via ebay but might be worth an email.

Alternatively, Aldi sets are good value/quality.

Keep an eye on Aldi, they have sets:

Is what you get for your £9.99. Last set I bought was reduced to
£5.99 but was missing the scraper. Can't really comment on the blade
quality as I've not used many blades. My Bosch has done excellent
sanding service though, so much that the orginal baccking pad is
getting a bit knackered and that is in the above set.

Sods law for the OP, Aldi last had them about 2 or 3 weeks ago and
have probably sold out. Is it 6 months or a year before they usually
do them again?

I've wondered why I haven't seen any hole-saws for multi tools and
whether I could adapt one to fit my Bosch. Seems to me that it would be a
really good tool for cutting holes for spots in plasterboard.

So, are there any available? If not, why not?

Do you mean round hole saws? In which case why would you need a
multitool? The effectiveness of a saw (material removed per cycle) is
likely to be related to the tooth pitch and a reciprocating tool will
inevitably need a small pitch.

You mean something you would mount on the same axis as the blade
mounting turret?

So, are there any available? If not, why not?

Never seen one... not sure what advantage it would get you over a hole
saw in a drill. It would need to be fine pitch and slow cutting as well.
