Best Bosch multi tool

Updated: October 2026

You want one Bosch oscillating tool for a stated job, and a reason to leave the other five listings. The best Bosch multi tool in this set is not the highest star line on its own. That line is a solo body that will not run until a matching battery is already on the shelf. The [Bosch multi tool comparison](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/bosch-multi-tool) keeps the six prices and the box lists. Prices and stars are the 22 October 2026 amazon.co.uk lines. A GOP 18V-28 review is a different model and is not used here. A qualifying purchase through our links can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What best can mean in this set

Best only holds if you name the batteries you already own, or say that you own none. Five of the six listings are cordless bodies. None of those included lists contains a battery or a charger. The sixth listing, the PMF 220 CE set at about £103.95, is corded. Treating the about £71.94 body as the winner because it is the lowest figure compares a carton with a tool that plugs in. The GOP 18V-34 is 4.8 from 683, the highest line. A 4.8 on a solo body does not beat a corded set if you have nothing to clip on.

If you own no Bosch batteries

Buy the PMF 220 CE set when the work is beside a 230 V socket and you do not already own a Bosch pack. It is model 0603102071, 4.6 from 464 reviews, with 220 W in the bullets, and a case of blades, a depth stop and dust extraction. That is the only printed price here that switches on without a second purchase. Skip the PMF if the cut is away from a socket, or if you already own matching packs and do not want a cable. The cable argument is on the cordless or corded Bosch multi tool page.

If you already own the packs

If the packs are green 18 V, the AdvancedMulti 18 is the pick. It is about £71.94, 4.6 from 191, model 0603104000, with AutoClic, a 180° LED band, a depth stop, an AIZ 32 EPC and delta sheets. Skip it if your packs are blue, or if you want a segment blade in the carton: that is the UniversalMulti 18V-32 at about £76.98, 4.4 from 218, with an Allen key. If the packs are blue 18 V, the GOP 18V-34 is the pick. It is 4.8 from 683, about £164.98, solo, with Snap-in and one plunge blade. Skip it with no blue packs, because solo means no battery. Skip it if a jammed slide switch would stop the job. The GOP 18V-30 at about £140.85 is 4.7 from 22, which is not a reason to prefer it over 683 when both need the same packs. If the packs are Professional 12 V, the GOP 12V-28 is the pick, and only then. It is about £111.10, 4.6 from 1,937. Skip it if your packs are 18 V. UK reviews say the blade change needs an Allen key. Blade tiers are on the Bosch Starlock blades page.

What the star line does not settle

The 4.8 from 683 is the strongest scored listing here, and it is still a solo tool with a repeated switch complaint. Peter F. did not run a cut trial. Bosch's UK shop showed about £207.12 including VAT for the same GOP 18V-34 order. That is a different offer, and it does not put a battery in the amazon carton.

Common questions

Which listing has the most stars?
The GOP 18V-34, at 4.8 from 683 amazon.co.uk reviews, printed at about £164.98. It is a solo blue 18 V body, model 06018G2000, with one blade and an L-BOXX. The star line is the highest in this set. It does not include a battery, so it is not the pick when you own no Bosch packs.
Is that the one to buy if I own no batteries?
No. With no packs, and a socket nearby, the PMF 220 CE set at about £103.95 is the listing that runs. It is corded, 220 W in the bullets, 4.6 from 464 reviews, with several blades, a depth stop and a case. The GOP 18V-34's higher stars still leave you buying a Professional 18 V battery and charger before the first cut.
Which is the pick if I already own blue 18 V packs?
The GOP 18V-34, because 4.8 from 683 is a much larger sample than the GOP 18V-30's 4.7 from 22, and both are blue 18 V bodies with Snap-in. You still accept the UK reports of jammed slide switches, and you still get only one plunge blade in the L-BOXX. Choose the GOP 18V-30 only if the lower printed price matters more than the size of the review pool.
Which is the pick if I already own green 18 V packs?
The AdvancedMulti 18, at about £71.94 and 4.6 from 191, with AutoClic, an LED band and a depth stop. The UniversalMulti 18V-32 at about £76.98 is the green alternative when you want a segment blade and a sanding plate in the carton, at 4.4 from 218 and with an Allen key. Neither green body accepts a blue Professional pack.
Why not buy the 12 V tool with 1,937 reviews?
Buy the GOP 12V-28 when you already own Professional 12 V batteries. The 4.6 from 1,937 is the largest pool, and the grip suits smaller jobs where the mains is off. It is the wrong shortcut on 18 V packs, and UK reviews say the blade change needs an Allen key.
Who should skip the PMF set?
Skip it if the work is away from a 230 V socket, or if you already own matching cordless packs and you bought them so you would not trail a lead. UK reviews also report sheets that fall off, a switch that stiffens in plaster dust, and one early failure. The set is the best value here when you own no batteries. It is not the highest star line.
