Electrical industry legend, Tony Cable, gives his verdict on the GOP 18 V-28 Multi-Cutter from Bosch and considers the benefits that this particular type of tool can offer the modern electrician.
From those of you who are acquainted with Tony Cable through his work on the NICEIC Tech Talk team, you will know that he has over 60 years of electrical trade experience behind him.
Power tools were still a pipe a pipe dream when the newest recruit to the Voltimum Product Review Team started his apprenticeship at 15. Having witnessed so many changes to the power tool technology over the years, and experienced first-hand the benefits these developments can provide for electricians, we thought he would be the perfect guy to try out the Bosch Professional GOP 18 V-28 Multi-Cutter
Designed by the manufacturer for a variety of tricky situations, the side-to-side motion (oscillation) of the GOP 18 V-28 Multi-Cutter allows accurate, highly controlled cutting, grinding, scraping and sanding - often in confined spaces which a rotating tool cannot reach.
Bosch's range of Starlock Multi-Cutter Accessories have been developed in partnership with Fein and feature a 3D Accessory Interface. Previously, tools like this incorporated an OIS (Oscillating Interface System), which relies on a system of pins on the multi-cutter fitting into holes on the accessory. This results in power transfer inefficiency, untidy finishing and vulnerability to breakage of the pins.
The Starlock 3D interface holds accessories tightly and ensures 100% power transfer.
