Dremel has launched a new line of Universal True Fit oscillating multi-tool blades, and they will be available exclusively at Lowe’s.
The new Dremel Universal True Fit OMT blades are designed to offer “true compatibility with all other oscillating tool brands,” such as Dewalt, Craftsman, Milwaukee, Rockwell, Worx, Porter Cable, Ridgid, Ryobi, Skil, and Kobalt, as well as Dremel’s own tools.
The line includes 16 cutting, scraping, sanding, and grout removal accessories and sets.
Prices start at around $11, with blade and accessory assortments offering greater value.
The new line also includes carbide-edge blades, which deliver longer life.
The new Dremel Universal True Fit blade looks to have underwent significant redesign, at least with respect to the interface.
This part of the press release also caught my attention:
Dremel Universal True Fit accessories allow use with all of the current major oscillating tool brands on the market.
Indeed, that says “ALL of the current major oscillating tool brands on the market.”
The only brands left out of Dremel’s compatibility list, or at least the ones that immediately come to mind, are Bosch, Fein, and Makita, which have Starlock interfaces.
As a reminder, Dremel is part of Bosch, and the same is true about Diablo, which specializes in power tool accessories.
The press release also says that Dremel has revamped the accessory packaging that “clearly labels which materials are suitable for each blade.”
Dremel says that:
The new line was introduced to solve the pain points that shoppers often endure, as finding the right blade fit can be a challenge for new and existing DIY oscillating tool users.
That’s a plus. Dremel is targeting these accessories to DIYers and homeowner-type users, and being able to quickly pick the right blade without having to consult with various websites is always welcome.
There will be 4 main categories of Dremel Universal True Fit accessories:
- Wood-Cutting (high carbon steel and bi-metal)
- Specialty (such as for sanding, scraping, and grout removal)
- General Purpose (bi-metal, designed to last 3X longer than HCS)
- Tough Materials (carbide blades, designed to last 30X longer)
Lowe’s has 15 SKUs up right now, but some are of assortments.
