Would this be better than the 'snap-off' blades?

These blades are more durable than the snap-off blades. As you burn through the razor of a snap-off, you simply snap it off to reveal a new blade, but they are thinner and flimsier than the classic blades.

I find it to be better. This utility knife is very easy to use. Each blade lasts a long time...you use one side of the blade until it wears out and then turn the blade around to use the fresh side. I've neen using this brand for years.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with 'snap-off' blades so I can't say one way or another. Sorry!

For future readers, you can YouTube this and easily and quickly remove the blade with a screwdriver. I just did it. And I'm an old chick. : )

NOT GOOD IDEA. Blades are made of some type of composite material with a laminate over them . On one of my blades the laminate was loose and I re glued it.

Yes I would, This is a combination blade though so there may be better rip only blades but my rip only blade is very course, great for fast ripping but not smooth as this one is

As I recall it simply snapped on. My advice is not to replace it. My replacement blades never worked well. They always pulled hair. I had read simlar reports, but decided to try it anyway. After messing with it for a few months, we finally trough out the peanut and bought another.

I have both too. I can't be 100%sure, but it looks like you could possibly interchange the blades.

I have a Mister Twister but have not tried the blade with it. I will check it out and let you know.

Yes. It is designed for both removal and installation of the blade assembly. Makes the job an easy task.

The metal blades will always cut more precise and consistent than the plastic attachment guides. If you have the money spend definitely go with the metal blades but if you're just looking to save money go with the plastic attachments.

Popular question. The answer is no. This is strictly for their purposes. That said, some people do flip the blades once in an effort to make them last longer, but at 10¢ a pop, it's not a big deal.

Yes, it's as simple as just screwing down the two screws. Shouldn't take more than one minute to replace the blade.

Yep. Use it on mine. I would suggest getting extra metal blades, it doesn't come with enough in my opinion.

I've tried all the readily available brands of blades and see no noticeable difference in their life. Avoiding forcing the blade with too much pressure helps avoid overheating the blades and of course, avoiding nails with wood cutting blades also helps. To get more speed, try a courser blade instead of excessive pressure and remember that this tool is intended to make cuts in places where access is an issue. Use it only where it's necessary and use a more conventional saw where you can. Finally, this Bosch tool is a higher end product that I've feel is worth the higher price for the additional durability and balance. Their may be better value vibratory saw out there, but the bargain priced power tools I've tried have turned out to be throw-aways after just a few jobs.

I suppose you could... The blade is a bit narrower that most other blades but it will certainly give a close cut :)

sorry,i don,t know as i haven't tried it.There is a blade that might do the job ,but i doubt it .

It is easy (I'd youtube the videos because I'm a visual learner) BUT, I would caution you when changing the blades. Obviously you wouldn't put your fingers on the part where the razors stick out. But, even the sides of the razor (the unsharpened sides) can still cut your fingers if you put pressure on them when unscrewing the head.

Yes, but there's a trick to getting them on without the blade coming off. I put them on in a reverse fashion so-to-speak.
