Bosch OSL114C-3 1-1/4 in. Starlock® Oscillating Multi Tool Carbide Plunge Cut Blade 3 Pk.

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.

These worked great. I couldn’t find what I needed that fit at the store so I ordered off trusty Amazon. They fit perfect, cut well and were very easy to use.

Good quality.

I am a carpenter and have used just about every brand of oscillating blade. They are an expensive but essential part of my daily life. These Bosch carbide tipped are far superior to any other blade purporting to cut metal and nails. Yes, they are comparably expensive, but are exponentially cheaper in the long run because they last so much longer, I'm talking 5-10x longer with superior performance from jump. Keep in mind these aren't really designed to cut wood (they do an adequate job though), use the appropriate blade for that and switch back and forth depending on whether there is a threat of encountering metal/nails, thereby extending the life of your wood blade as well.

Normally I trust a name that's been around awhile like Bosche. These blades are not impressive at all and big sections of the teeth fall off and I'm left with a quarter inch of teeth here and there . Quite irritating when u need a clean cut.

Fits perfectly on a Bosch oscillating tool- for which it is designed. The Bosch interlocking mechanism is proprietary and remains the best such system for quickly and securely swapping implements - and it has been around for many years. So, Bosch for Bosch.

I'm not generally one to take the time to do reviews ....but these blades deserve it.I do construction, so I use my oscillating tools nearly every day. I needed to cut off lots of 16d nails ....I had carbide name brand blades from a box store ....the blades were useless after 5 or 6 nails. I found these Bosch blades on Amazon ....got them delivered in 2 days ....I stopped counting after 114 nails with the first blade ....and there were still teeth left on the blade ready to tackle more.That same day, I ordered the Bosch "Wood" and "All Purpose" blades ....had excellent results with both. As long as I can get them, I'll never use any other brand of blade. I recommend them to anyone I know who uses an oscillating tool.You can't beat the price either ....a 10pk for $80 ....that's $8 a blade ....you'll pay far more for far less quality blades anywhere else. You won't be disappointed.

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 :-)
