BOSCH StarlockPlus Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with Snap-In Blade Attachment GOP40-30B

Ok, first know what you are getting: this is the latest in blade lock tech which both Bosch and Fein are doing: it is a no-touch on and off starlock system for these blades. It will not take the old OIS blades, and does not advertise that it will.What is confusing is that the OSL blades which work with this CAN be used on older Bosck multitools. So, there is blade compatibility backward, but again, the GOP40 will not take the OIS blades. The blade removal is absurdly easy: no more hex wrnech or tool to put blades on and off. They literally snap on, and with a turn of the lever, pop right off.

I wore out the previous Bosch oscillating tool after 10 years so it was a no brainer to get another one. The newer model has some improvements like the LED to light up work and the way the blade snaps into place. The nice thing about Bosch tools is that they have replacement parts available if you are inclined to repair instead of replace. Like other Bosch tools, this model seems to be durable and high quality.If I have to list a downside its that the older blades don't work directly with Starlock.

I honestly don't know how I managed with out a multi-tool in the past. My most recent project was way easier with the Bosch multi-tool. I can't remember the number of times I said, "Multi-tool!", when I came up against a new problem but it was many. One blade I would recommend getting is a knife blade (no teeth) as I've found that it is very handy when a regular toothed blade would scare a surface.Recommended.

The quick change blades are great! The star blade attachment holds very firmly increasing more torque to the blade. Making cuts super quick and effective. And the onboard light is also a nice touch

Love the soft start , good power, and adjustable speed. How did I ever get this old without buying one of these!? The only thing I wish it had was a rotating head like I’ve seen on Ryobi.

It works, however the one I received was 100% without a doubt used and returned. It was beaten up, dings and scraps all over it, dirt and dust. It had dead grass all over it when i took it out of the box. If I didn't need it right away I would have returned it. Other then the tool being abused, the box was in good shape and all of its accessories WERE there. Nice tool, just wish my money went towards a new product.

I have the older version of this tool that requires an Allen wrench to change the blades. I've cut in hundreds of old work boxes in blue board and horse hair plaster and love the tool. Also works great on wood.I recently purchased this newer version and am very pleased with it. As an electrician this is one of the tools I use the most. The quick change blade system is much faster than the older version and the LED light is also a nice feature. The cord is also considerably longer in the newer version saving me from grabbing an extension cord. The blades are expensive but you get what you pay f

This tool is outstanding - everyone talks about the cutting but I bought it for the sanding (redoing my banisters and front door - upgraded to 80 grit and it ripped away the poly and stain in all the tight spaces. What a time saver.I had it on full power for well over a hour and it never really got hot nor was too loud. Item is well balancedEven better - the sandpaper just attaches like Velcro and you can flip the head around in seconds - the extra cost here was well worth itSuggest bosch's videos add a section on this tools sanding abilities - don't just position the product to the pros, ever
