Review on 🛠️ BOSCH Starlock Carbide Oscillating Tool Blades, Multi Tool Blades for Cutting Iron Bar, Metal, Wood with Nails, Drywall, and Tile; 3-Pack, 1-1/4“ Width - OSL114C-3 by Larkeese Casiano

In just a few short years, oscillating tools have become a must have for professional repairs and other trades. That's not surprising - with the right blade you can cut almost anything, even in hard-to-reach places, which is impossible with other power tools. But Right Blade is easier said than done. Oscillating blades are ridiculously expensive for what they are, and to make matters worse, most "wood cutting" blades are destroyed by the pounding of a single nail or screw. "Bi-Metal" blades with a small saw tooth are *slightly* better - instead of 1 nail, you could end up piercing 2 or 3. The thing is, they're still pretty weak. Enter Bosch carbide tipped blades now. These are MUCH the most durable oscillating blades I've found. At around $10 each, they're still expensive for what they are, but ordering them from Revain is MUCH cheaper than my local big store. Bimetal 3-leaf bags cost about the same as these. SO. How do you cut? To be honest there are much faster blades in "just wood". They get the job done, but I wouldn't use these carbide blades if all I had to do was cut clean new wood. The teeth are not aggressive enough (not strong, if at all, 'set', so +/- mm, like cutting wood with a hacksaw. BUT - for normal work, like clipping nails and inserting staples a stud wall (For example, to replace a twisted pole - cut the 16# nails first, then all the trim staples so you can get the bad pole out without shaking the hell out of the wall - or around the wrong-sized header to cut - THIS IS A FUCKING BOMB Instead of being ruined by the first cut or two, like ANY blade I've ever used, I used ONE blade all day today and the teeth are still intact and sharp. I wish I had found them a year ago - I would have saved myself a few hundred bucks on wasted bimetal blades I haven't tried cutting sheet metal or heavier materials like pickguards, abs er I am sure that they will also work in these materials.
