![]() Maybe that's because I'm a DIY'er and don't give the blades a workout that a Pro would. I can say that my past experiences with Milwaukee cutting blades have been nothing but positive. It's very difficult to pin down how long any given blade will last on any given project. Of course, blades are expendable items and longevity depends upon many factors - the materials being cut, how much force is used on the tool by the operator, hidden items (nails, wood knots, etc.) being encountered, etc. I had no problems mounting these blades on a couple of DeWalt tools I have (see photo).įit and finish of the tools and the case is excellent. (There's one Dremel oscillating tool that I own that the blades won't fit, but that tool is known for having a proprietary blade mount). The mount of the blades and sanding pad is "universal" - it will fit makes/models of oscillating tools other than Milwaukee. There's a carry handle and a latch which I'm finding to be secure enough so that the cover doesn't open when carried in a soft sided tool bag with other gear. The posts are long enough to hold more blades than come with this kit. There are posts upon which the various blades are secured, and the posts can be removed from the case and reinserted in a different position, allowing you to configure the case for longer/shorter/wider blades if you add to the collection. The case itself is configurable (see photo). sanding pad, (2) 60 grit sandpaper, (2) 120 grit sandpaper, (2) 240 grit sandpaper, and a case to hold everything. It should be noted that of the "15 pieces" included, six of them are sanding disks, one is the sanding pad, and eight are actual cutting blades. I'm a homeowner / DIY'er, not a pro tradesperson so this review comes from that standpoint. Sometimes reviews get posted on the incorrect product, it's good to know which product the review is intended for. This review is for the model #49-10-9215 Milwaukee 15-piece oscillating blade kit. The cost of the kit is quite reasonable for everything included with it. To my surprise and disappointment though, the posts will not hold regular blades, even those from Milwaukee. I easily re-arranged the posts so I could store additional blades in the case. ![]() The kit includes a heavy-weight hinged carrying/storage case with relocatable locking posts for storing the blades and securing the sanding pads. Note that none of this is a big deal, but when reviewing Milwaukee tools you have to search hard for the slightest imperfection. Of course, if you choose to use a different sanding pad, without “open-lok”, there is no issue but the nut must be completely removed for installation. ![]() There is no issue installing the blades however the sanding pad is trickier because there is only a small 1” hole in which to get fingers to lightly screw/un-screw the bolt. The bolt is then LIGHTLY finger tightened before engaging the locking lever on the tool itself. It must be unscrewed a little bit though, so the blade can slide in above the holding nibs on the arbor face. Attachment to the multi-tool is easy because these are all “open-lok” blades so there is no need to completely remove the locking bolt. The velcro-faced sanding pad comes with 8 sanding sheets – 80, 120, and 240 grit. The eight blades themselves cover a good operating range, from coarse wood cutting to extreme material cutting (think steel). This is a great accessory kit (Model 49-10-9215, Made in USA) for any multi-tool. ![]()
