Dang I thought you people would be all over this. I love these blades. They work better than the factory ones.

This is a great deal for those that need a lot of blades and/or want to try different options.
I've got my own favorite blades: the sharp toothed 1 3/8" wood blades, 1/2 round metal and some plunge cut Bi-Blades, metal/wood. Never have liked the extra wide blades, they tend to chatter.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I buy the best blades I can afford. They last longer and are more accurate. JMO.

Doesn't appear these will work with Dremel brand tools (which. of course. Is what I own). Just put out 20-30 something bucks earlier this year for 3 blades. Le sigh.

Links to particular items don't seem to work with HD anymore but I looked it up. Yep it's an oscillating tool just like that except cheaper. I've had one from HF since they first came out and I now have two of them so I don't have to change blades as often. The biggest mistake people make with these is how they change the blade. If you don't use another wrench to hold the head while changing blades you can ruin all the little gears in there. So read the directions and change the blades exactly how they tell you and it should last a very long time. |

I don't *think there is a place on mine to hold with a wrench. Only had experience with this particular brand/model. Mine has a bunch of little tabs/knobs that poke up through holes in the blade. Then an allen head bolt with captured washer holds it in place. I probably didn't read the instructions though so very possible I am doing it wrong. |

It sounds like the blades I showed might work then. That is exactly how the Harbor Freight multi-tool works. And the place for the crescent wrench to hold it is on the shaft of the head. Two opposing flat surfaces. I show this in the video review I made for these blades. I just have to finish that video and post it now. I'll post it here when I get that done. |

Hmmm. Maybe they will work. I read all the models in the description they are supposed to be compatible with but dremel wasn't listed.
This is one of those must have tools for certain applications. Like the right angle drill adapter. I rarely use it but sometimes it's a must have tool

You might also ask in the Q&A if anyone knows if they work or not. I use that Q&A a lot when purchasing from Amazon. |
