BOSCH OSL114CG Starlock Oscillating Multi Tool Carbide Grit Plunge Cut Blade: Enhanced Precision and Durability at 1-1/4 Review

I recently bought 3 more for the same purpose and used them to make cut outs in old stucco walls with a button panel behind the stucco (probably 50's buildings) to retrofit new electrical boxes.
