BOSCH OSP200CC 1-Piece 2 In. StarlockPlus Oscillating Multi Tool Metal & More Curved-Tec Carbide Extreme Plunge Cut Blade for Heavy-Duty Applications in Metal (Nails and Staples), Wood with Nails, PVC

These star link blades are easy to use, but they're pretty pricey. I did about 50 flush cuts through 2 x 2s and 2 x 4s with one blade, which isn't bad.

I had an old horse stable that needed to be demolished, but I wanted to reclaim the tongue and groove cedar siding to use in another project. The wood is old and brittle, and the hot dipped nails have been married to the wood for half a century so trying to pry the wood off the structure frame was not giving me the outcome I was looking for. So... I read some reviews on these blades and was assured they would do the job of plunging between the stud and siding and cutting the nails to free my precious aged cedar. I even bought a tool just so I could use these blades.True to their reputation I liberated over 500 board feet with just 5 blades. On average that calculates out to about 230 8d (about 1/8" diameter) nails per blade. I was thrilled with their performance and still have half a box of blades for my next demo project :-)

I made some mistakes doing my first tiling job in the kitchen but this Bosch carbide tipped oscillating tool blade was just what I needed to correct this mistake.I didn't align the end tiles where I marked on the wall where my door casing will be on the bottom three rows so one row stuck out almost 3/16". I was trying to figure out how to trim those tiles. I bought a grout saw with a carbide blade and a rod saw thinking those might work.I tried using a grout saw with a carbide tip blade but that didn't work well so I tried this Bosch blade and that worked. After taping off the area I wanted to cut, I started by scoring a straight line on the tiles making a groove and worked my way down to the bottom row, then back up cutting through the dry mastic. By scoring a line it allowed the blade to easily follow the groove.

The worst I can say about them is the BOSCH "Starlock" configuration may work well with newer oscillating tools but limits use with older OIS types. Though I suspect the issue I will describe may be the same for newer model tools. Even though these are backward compatible they have one glaring deficiency. The blade can't be reverse mounted on the tool. Because the Starlock hub is similar to an old fashioned bottle cap it's concave design only allows it to install one way. The blade offset can't be reversed to move it closer to a tight right angle work-piece which occurs more often that you think.Sometimes newer isn't always better...Otherwise it's typical Bosch quality and blade durability which is excellent.

As usual, Bosch quality at a decent price.

In just a few years oscillating tools have become must-have for pro remodelers and other trades. It's no wonder - with the right blade you can cut just about anything, and in tight spots that are impossible with other power tools. But "Right Blade" is easier said than done. Oscillating blades are ridiculously expensive for what they are, and worse yet, most "wood cutting" blades most will be ruined by hitting a single nail or screw. The "bi-metal" blades with a slight hacksaw type tooth are a *little* better - instead of one nail doing them in maybe you'll make through 2 or 3. Point being they're still pretty wimpy. Now enter the Bosch carbide tipped blades. These are BY FAR the longest-lasting oscillating blades I've found. At around $10 each they're still expensive for what they are - but ordering them via Amazon is MUCH less expensive than the same thing at my local big-box. There- 3 blade bi-metal packs are roughly the same price as these.SO...How do they cut ? In "just wood" to be honest there are much faster blades out there. They get the job done, but I wouldn't use these carbide-tipped blades if all I had to cut was clean new wood. The teeth aren't aggressive enough (not much, if any, 'set', so they're +/- mm like cutting wood with a hacksaw blade. BUT - for common chores like cutting the end-nails and sheathing staples in a stud wall ( for instance to replace a twisted stud - cutting the 16# nails first and then back-cutting all the sheathing staples so you can pop out the bad stud without shaking the heck out of the wall - or having to cut an incorrectly sized header out - THESE ARE DA FREAKING BOMB. Instead of being ruined by the first or second cut like EVERY other blade I've ever used... I worked all day today with ONE blade and the teeth are still intact and sharp. I wish I'd found these a year ago - I would have saved myself a few hundred bucks in wasted bi-metal blades. I didn't try cutting sheet metal or heavier stuff like a metal cover plate, but I'm sure they'd work in those materials too.

Was able to cut approximately 8” of 3/16 steel welded on both sides to another piece of steel to remove 4 pieces. It took a little time, but blade is still usable. Have found no other blades that compare. A little expensive, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend.

We found these to be a better price than local stores in our area. They work extremely well and are quite strong and durable. We like to keep extra on hand for our home repair projects. They are a great blade for the tool we use.

Me encanto y muy buenas excelentes

Duran más que otras marcas, las sencillas me duran al rededor de 3 días, las diablo y Milwaukee alrededor de 3 semanas, cada hoja de estás me está durando más de un mes, corto alambrón, cobre, varillas delgadas, galvanizado y cosas inaccesibles para otras sierras

Great blades, long lasting. They get the job done quickly.

Entrega rápida e produto excelente.

Excellent et très durable.
