Never owned an oscillating multi-tool but have used a cordless one once and was wowed by it. What's currently considered the best cordless one for an occasional user versus a professional handyman?

I never saw the point of them until I bought a cheap mains one from Lidl as a try out. Now I would not be without one, the tasks it has been put too are too numerous to list but it has been given dogs abuse in the 2+ years I have had it and even if it died the day after its 3 year warranty was up it will have paid for itself.

I have a cordless that came from Aldi. It's very useful for the odd job,
but compliments my Fein, rather than replacing it. When used for sanding
etc, the battery doesn't last long enough.

The snag would be a larger battery might make the entire thing too big.

That's why you have multiple batterys and swap
them and charge the one you aren't using etc.

I bought a set of these a year or so ago. OK for small jobs, but early
this year I was using them for cutting mortice holes in some softwood
(in a position I couldn't easily access with a chisel or drill). The
blade just kept snapping off along the line of the angled offset. I
assume that the vibration just caused the metal to harden and get
brittle, like bending a nail side to side until it snaps.
Didn't have this problem with the original Bosch ones.
Still good value for some jobs though.

several times the price of Aldi blades, are they worth the extra?

No idea, never used the Aldi ones. The Saxton ones are very good and of
course available all year round.

I've noticed they have an alternate brand "Antler Blades" that seem to
sell cheaper on eBay/Amazon than the Saxton brand
