Powered by an 18V EC brushless motor, it delivers corded-like speed and runtime with a compact design ideal for flush cutting, sanding, and grinding.

Battery and charger sold separately. ## Description The Bosch GOP18V-28 18V StarlockPlus® Oscillating Multi-Tool Bare Tool features the Starlock® next-generation 3-D tool-accessory interface. This provides outstanding accessory grip, making it the new professional standard in oscillating tool performance. With more contact surface area between the tool and accessory, the Starlock® interface is a cupped 3-D tool-accessory connection that delivers greater torque transfer for an expanded work capacity. The no-touch blade-change system makes it easy to attach, remove or reposition blades. The EC Brushless 18V motor offers better efficiency than previous-generation 18V motors for increased power and runtime, offering performance comparable to the corded Bosch GOP40-30 StarlockPlus. The 18V motor delivers a top speed of up to 20,000 oscillations per minute, and the tool provides a 2.8° oscillating arc. A variable-speed dial allows the user to set the optimal speed for the task at hand, and Constant Response circuitry maintains the desired speed under load. At only 2.7 Lbs., this light and compact tool reaches tight spaces, provides comfortable ergonomic grip zones and has an LED light for illumination in dark work areas. The GOP18V-28 provides outstanding versatility – utilizing the many Starlock® and StarlockPlus® accessories to handle flush-cutting, plunge-cutting, sanding, grinding and many other tasks related to a wide array of materials. (For compatibility with StarlockMax® accessories, which perform industrial-grade applications, Bosch offers the GOP55-36 Oscillating Multi-Tool.) It is a bare-tool kit; the battery and charger are sold separately. Review: Great addition to tool collection! - I was hesitant to buy based on the first and only review, but since I already have the batteries for Bosch I took a chance. I can totally see how the first reviewer had the issues shown. I don't know if there has been a change since that tool was made, but I have had none of those issues. The good: 1. This tool performs a job that none of my other saws can. It is not always the best tool, but when it is, it works great. Example - cutting a nut off of a faucet, under a sink, behind the sink. No other tool would have reached it like this one. The nut lost the battle. 2. Easy to use. I cut a fiberglass tub up and was able to hold this in one hand and a vacuum in the other greatly minimizing dust. 3. Incredibly versitle, I doubt I have scratched the surface on uses yet. The bad (or worth improving) 1. The blade that came with it did not last long. I bought additional metal carbide blades which have held up well, keep them cool! 2. Blades are expensive. But sometimes its worth it. 3. Blades not available locally (Big Box), hopefully will be eventually. Overall I am very pleased. Does eat through batteries, so make sure they are fully charged. Review: Great tool as usual from Bosch - I really like the Startlock system. Takes 5 seconds to remove and replace a blade. I've used other oscillating tools and replacing blades without StarLock is tedious. This uses the same battery as my drill and impact. I've used it to cut nails, wood, and PVC pipe. Cuts all of it like butter, but the metal blades do wear out quickly. It also doesn't seem to use the battery very quickly. As always I highly recommend Bosch tools and this tool is no exception. Works like it should and gets the job done quickly. I haven't even needed to turn it too full speed. I had zero hesitation in buying this and I'm pleased with the purchase ## Features - STARLOCK 3-D TOOL-ACCESSORY INTERFACE: Delivers three-dimensional blade grip for more torque transfer - MULTI-TOOL VERSATILITY: Accomplish flush-cutting, plunge-cutting, sanding, grinding, and many other tasks - DYNAMIC ACCESSORY RANGE: Utilizes all starlock and starlockplus accessories - CORDED-LIKE PERFORMANCE: Power and speed comparable to the corded bosch gop40-30 starlockplus oscillating tool - EC BRUSHLESS MOTOR TECHNOLOGY: Offers better efficiency than previous-generation 18v motors for increased runtime and exceptional motor life in an ultra-compact design - WIDE 2.8 OSCILLATING ARC: Provides better accessory utilization and increased productivity - SNAP-IN TOOLLESS ACCESSORY ATTACHMENT AND RELEASE LEVER: Allows for no-touch, easy release of blade; no more burned fingers - LED LIGHT: For illumination in dark work areas - FLUSH-CUTTING DESIGN: Built to accomplish flush cuts such as doorjambs cuts using various plunge or segment blades - CONSTANT RESPONSE CIRCUITRY: Maintains the desired speed under load ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N37OSRF | | Best Sellers Rank | #661,951 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #178 in Oscillating Power Tools | | Brand | Bosch | | Brand Name | Bosch | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 649 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000346480207 | | Included Components | (1) GOP18V-28 18V EC Brushless StarlockPlus® Oscillating Multi-Tool | | Item Dimensions | 12.8 x 3 x 3.2 inches | | Item Type Name | Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tools | | Item Weight | 1.6 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 12.8 x 3 x 3.2 inches | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer Part Number | GOP18V-28N | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Bosch 18V cordless power tools are covered by a five year limited warranty - for details, visit the Bosch power tools website or call 1-877-BOSCH99 | | Material | Plastic Composite and Aluminum | | Material Type | Plastic Composite and Aluminum | | Model Number | GOP18V-28N | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 3 | | UPC | 000346480207 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 1.6 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 12.8 x 3 x 3.2 inches - **Material:** Plastic Composite and Aluminum ## Images ![GOP18V-28N 18V EC Brushless StarlockPlus Oscillating Multi-Tool Bare Tool - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41IqPsbca9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Own bosch drill w/ 18v liion batteries - why is this 'bare tool' so much and why are there not more accessories - seems a gip to me?** A: Although this unit is certainly slightly higher priced than most competitors models, it is well worth it. I can't speak for why Bosch runs the msrp as they do, but I do own several oscillating tools and this is by far the best imo. Starlock blade system is great, variable speed system was designed very well, and it is very comfortable to use. Fast, easy, clean cuts. Starlock blades come in many varieties, and are sold readily through Amazon, Home Depot, and many lumber yards. If you're already lined up with Bosch 18v batteries, I'd suggest investing in one of these. **Q: is it made in Germany ?** A: Thank you for your inquiry. The GOP18V-28N Oscillating Multi Tool country of origin is Malaysia. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST. **Q: Asian made and twice the price of Dewalt, really?** A: I have the DEWALT it’s a piece of garbage in comparison. It’s so loud after a month or two of use you need ear plugs. Not made near as well as this one is. So yes it really is worth twice as much as the first two 18v oscillating tools put out by Dewalt **Q: Does this come with the click and go box?** A: Yes. Even the “bare tool” GOP18V-28N comes with the box when purchased at Lowe’s or through Amazon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition to tool collection! *by B***G on September 21, 2017* I was hesitant to buy based on the first and only review, but since I already have the batteries for Bosch I took a chance.

They click in, and power the tool just fine, but they rattle loudly when the tool is in use. I reserve a couple of my older generation 4AH packs for use with it. The older generation battery packs fit perfectly and do not rattle. Other than that, this is an excellent cordless OMT. It has a slightly smaller arc of oscillation than corded OMTs like the Fein, but that is actually an advantage in many situations. The smaller arc makes for smoother action, albeit a slightly slower cut. In a lot of situations this gives you more control and less jumpiness in some materials. This tool is much nicer than the comparable cordless OMTs from other brands. The only one nicer than the Bosch is probably the Fein. This feels as rugged and smooth as a corded tool! ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSCH GOP18V-28N 18V EC Brushless StarlockPlus Oscillating Multi-Tool (Bare Tool) - BOSCH OSL005C 5-Piece Starlock Oscillating Multi Tool Assorted Set Blades for Mixed Applications in Metal, Wood and Other General Purpose Materials with Included Case - BOSCH OSL350SPD 1-Piece 3-1/2 in.
