Bosch Starlockplus Oscillating MultiTool Kit

How does the Bosch Starlock plus oscillating tool work?

The Bosch StarLock Plus oscillating tool is a new way to attach accessories to an oscillating tool. As you know accessories such as blades are thin and a little flimsy. So when you take a powerful tool and attach a small accessory, the trick is being able to transfer the power from the tool to the blade.

Which is Bosch multi tool kit for oscillating?

The Bosch GOP40-30B StarlockPlus Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit provides a tool that delivers the new professional standard in oscillating tool performance, providing the next-generation Starlock 3-D tool-accessory interface, 4.0 amps of power and advanced electronics.

How big is the Bosch Starlock Max Multi Tool?

The Starlock Max got its work-out cutting around all the cabinetry and some patching of the old ¾” oak hardwood flooring. A job like this certainly would be more of challenge without an oscillating multi tool but this tool was a champ and with its 5.5 amp motor it means business. It was able to get under the cabinets and into tight spaces.

What does Starlock mean for a multi tool?

Starlock is an improved, standardised accessory-fitting system for multi-tools. It was designed by Bosch and Fein. Starlock blades have a future-proof ‘cake-tin’ pattern for a 3D connection between the motor and blade. This ensures 100% power transfer for maximum performance, stability and precision!

The Starlock Plus comes with reassuring Bosch credentials and as a quality oscillating multi-tool, it certainly matches up to expectations. With a more than decent 13-foot cord powering it beefy 4amp motor, there’s some juice in its tank to take on those really big projects where only precision, power and performance will do. The variable motor has a top speed of 20,000 OPM but can easily be powered down to tackle delicate jobs and is surprisingly quieter than expected. Ear-protectors would be advised for the full-on speed but for less powerful jobs you should be able to still hear yourself think!

The oscillating tool comes with a good variety of blades to tackle most materials and boasts one of the slickest attachment units in our best oscillating multi tools review, thanks to its Starlock system that grips as if its life depended on it. And the subsequent torque transfer is certainly felt in the accuracy of its performance, whether that’s cutting, grinding, scraping or sanding. The Starlock Plus is also interchangeable with other accessories from the Bosch Starlock range, but disappointingly, there is no adaptor for other brands’ accessories.
