BoschGOP18V-34B12 18V Brushless StarlockPlus® Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with (1) 2 Ah Standard Power Battery

Like everyone else, I wish I'd have bought one of these a decade ago. Solid tool, great balance and weight, doesn't vibrate too much. Sorta wish I'd have gotten the 4Ah battery, but I have an ecosystem of Bosch tools so a few 2Ah packs are always charged. Solid kit

As a pretty avid DIY handyman, I don't know how I made it this long without one of these tools. But with a big basement renovation project after a flood, I had a lot of demo and drywall work to do, and finally decided to pick one up. I have a bunch of other Bosch 18V tools, so naturally I gravitated to Bosch's offering.I was impressed by how useful this tool is - it quickly rips through even the old-growth studs in my old house like butter, and makes short work of drywall. More than enough power for cutting easily through everything I've set it against The grip is comfortable and it is easy to maneuver in tight spots.Battery life is pretty good, I get a couple of hours of intermittent use out of a 2Ah battery. A bigger battery would of course last longer, but makes the tool heavier, so I'm ok with swapping small batteries more frequently. For the money I spent, I'm very satisfied with this tool. Bosch generally makes good power tools, and this one is no exception.

You may or may not like that it requires Bosch specific blades but the thing is an excellent performer, especially if you are going to use it for long periods. The balance is good and the vibration-reduction is valuable. It is variable speed, can put blades at 90 degree angles (like cutting a metal pipe from within the pipe - priceless), and the blades are high quality even if not cheap. Using this thing to remove/trim poorly applied caulk - vs. using a knife - is like a hot knife through butter. Cutting tools (which can be dangerous) are one thing your should always buy quality. I'm not saying other manufacturers aren't, but this is a quality tool.

love the versatility and balance, battery life is pretty good, you can tell every detail has been well though through and engineered to perfection...

Works great

Larger and heavier, compared to other model I tried before, which results in low vibration during work. Comfortable grip. Feels like the best multitool I've been using so far.Disadvantage: difficult to change position of the ON/OFF switch (no good grip).Problem: I bought this tool in February, been lightly using it for home renovation, and after 4 months the ON/OFF switch got stuck in ON position, so now I cannot move it and the tool doesn't work. This malfunction is really disappointing.BOSCH team, please fix the switch on this model to something reliable and easy to operate.

This is new version and vibrations are really lower, amazing tool

This tool is designed better than the previous version, you can see your battery life indicator without removing the battery, it can get into more tight spaces, it has the ability to turn the light on by moving the switch to the first position without actually turning the saw on which can be very helpful for getting your cuts lined up if you're working in a dark or confined space such as under a cabinet.The battery fits much tighter in this one than the last generation which drastically helps reduce the level of vibration when using. Quality update, definitely worth picking up, I would even recommend picking it up if you already have the last generation and are looking for a little bit better quality tool. The blade change mechanism on Bosch's multi-tools is second to none and should be the industry standard
