PECHAM 24PCS Universal Wood Metal Oscillating Multitool Quick Release Saw Blades Fit Porter Cable Black & Decker Rockwell Ridgid Ryobi Milwaukee Chicago Craftsman

What’s in the box and first impressions

The PECHAM blade set is a 24-piece assortment aimed squarely at everyday oscillating tool tasks—woodwork, trim, light metal, plastics, scraping, and grout touch-ups. The blades are a mix of high-carbon steel and stainless, finished in an electrophoretic black coating. Out of the box, the finish is uniform and slick, and the stamped markings are easy to read. You get a useful spread of tooth patterns—standard, Japanese, and “precision” profiles—with length markers etched on both inch and metric scales. The set also includes two C-clip adapters, which broaden compatibility with some older or less-common interfaces.

I don’t buy big multi-packs to baby them. I expect to burn through blades on messy remodel jobs—plunge cuts into baseboard where nails lurk, trimming jambs for new flooring, notching plywood, and the occasional screw or copper strap in the way. With that framing, this set made a strong first impression for the price: consistent plate thickness, clean teeth, and no ragged edges around the arbors.

Setup and compatibility

I tested the set on a DeWalt 20V oscillating multi-tool and a Ryobi quick-release model. The straight blades locked in securely on both, and the semi-circular segment blade seated without fuss on the DeWalt. The C-clip adapters let me mount blades to a Dremel MM45 and an older Fein Supercut in the shop. As with most “universal” sets, there are clear exceptions:

• It will not fit Starlock/StarlockPlus/StarlockMax systems.
• It won’t work with Bosch MX30 and similar Bosch quick-release designs.
• Rockwell/Worx Hyperlock is out.

If your tool uses a standard open-ended, 12-pin or slotted quick-release interface, you’re likely in good shape. If it’s a proprietary star-shaped mount, skip this set. My advice: compare the arbor pattern on your tool before ordering, and keep the included adapters handy in your kit.

Cutting performance

Wood

For fast, aggressive cuts in pine casing and plywood, the Japanese-tooth blades rip nicely without chewing the face too badly. I used them to undercut door jambs and plunge into 3/4-inch shelving; the saw tracked straight with minimal burning when I set the oscillation speed to the mid-high range and let the teeth do the work.

The “precision” blades, which carry a slightly finer tooth profile, did cleaner work on visible trim—think scribing around a cabinet end panel or expanding a tight outlet opening. The longer, wavy-tooth wood/plastic blades are the workhorses of the set. They plunge predictably and clear chips well, particularly in softwoods and MDF. Those same longer-tooth blades were also my choice for PVC—more on that below.

Nails and screws (light metal)

No budget multi-pack gets a free pass on cutting metal, but the metal-rated blades here did better than I expected. On a fence repair, I nipped off about two dozen finish nails flush without a noticeable drop in performance. Cutting a handful of deck screws took more patience and speed control; slowing down avoids blueing the teeth. Could a premium bi-metal blade last longer in nail-embedded hardwood? Absolutely. But for incidental metal—trimming off a protruding screw or shaving a stubborn nail—these did the job without melting away.

PVC and plastics

Plastic is where these blades earn their keep. I used a wavy-tooth blade to notch and shorten Schedule 40 PVC. With a moderate speed setting, melts were minimal and the kerf was surprisingly tidy. The built-in length markers are genuinely helpful here—I used the centimeter scale to get a repeatable depth on a series of plunge cuts for a conduit saddle.

Grout and scraping tasks

There’s a segment blade intended for grout removal. It’s fine for small touch-ups, like cleaning out a few inches around a cracked tile; it’s not the fastest option for full-bath regrouts (a carbide-grit specialty blade will outpace it). The rigid scraper blade in the set worked well for lifting old caulk and soft adhesive. For flooring adhesive or roofing tar, I’d step up to a wider, thicker scraper, but as a utility piece it’s handy to have in the roll.

Accuracy and control

The etched depth marks on both sides—inch on one, metric on the other—are not marketing fluff. On plunge cuts, especially into paneling or cabinetry, they saved me from breaking out a pencil and combination square. Plate stiffness is good for this price class; I didn’t notice a tendency to wander when following a scribed line. On a few flush-trims of shims behind door casing, the blades stayed true without chattering the trim.

Vibration felt typical for mid-tier blades: comfortable at medium speeds, a bit buzzy at max oscillation rate. If your tool has a variable-speed dial, you’ll get cleaner edges and less burning with a small speed drop and a confident feed.

Durability and heat

High-carbon steel wood blades will always dull quickly if you hit abrasive material or metal. That’s true here. If you steer clear of nails and keep your cuts clean, you get a respectable service life—enough to finish a room’s worth of base and trim work on a blade. Hit a hidden fastener and you’ll feel the performance drop. The metal-rated blades tolerate incidental nails and screws far better, but they’re not magic. Use moderate pressure, let the oscillation rate do the work, and keep a spare within reach.

The black electrophoretic finish holds up, particularly around the arbor, and I didn’t see the early rust that cheap uncoated blades sometimes show after a damp jobsite day. Teeth stay sharper longer if you keep the cut cool: slow the speed, back out periodically to clear chips, and avoid leaning into the blade.

Practical tips from the field

• Use Japanese-tooth blades for speed in softwoods; switch to precision blades where finish edges matter.
• For PVC and laminates, drop the speed to reduce melting and chipping.
• When cutting near suspect studs or trim, assume there’s a fastener. Start with a metal-capable blade to avoid sacrificing a wood-only blade.
• Mark plunge depths with the built-in scales; it’s faster and more repeatable than guesswork.
• If your tool’s clamp is tight on segment blades, check that the blade seats fully and the collar clears—don’t force it. The included adapters can solve some fit quirks.

Value and who it’s for

This is a value-first set. You’re not buying premium, brand-name bi-metal or carbide for extreme demolition; you’re buying a well-rounded bench of blades you won’t hesitate to use, abuse, and replace. For DIYers, maintenance staff, and remodelers who go through blades on mixed-material jobs, the math makes sense. A few premium blades still belong in your kit—especially a high-end bi-metal for heavy metal cutting or a carbide-grit grout blade for large tile work—but this set covers 80% of typical oscillating-tool cuts without draining the budget.

Pros:
- Broad, practical assortment with useful tooth profiles
- Clearly etched inch/metric depth markers
- Coating and stamping quality exceed the price
- Included adapters expand compatibility on certain models
- Strong performance in wood, plastics, and incidental metal

Cons:
- Not compatible with Starlock and some Bosch and Rockwell/Worx quick-release systems
- Wood-only blades dull quickly if they hit metal
- Grout blade is serviceable for touch-ups but slow on big removals

The bottom line

I kept reaching for the PECHAM blade set because it strikes the right balance of performance and price. It cuts cleanly in the materials most of us tackle weekly, the assortment is thoughtfully chosen, and the length markers are a small but meaningful quality-of-life upgrade. If your oscillating tool uses a standard quick-release interface and your projects span trim, PVC, drywall, and the occasional fastener, this set is easy to recommend. If you run a Starlock tool or spend your days chewing through nail-embedded hardwood and heavy metal, look to brand-name bi-metal and carbide options.

Recommendation: I recommend this set as a cost-effective, everyday stock of oscillating blades for wood, plastic, light metal trimming, scraping, and small grout tasks. It’s a smart buy for DIYers and working trades who value having plenty of decent blades on hand, with the understanding that you’ll still want a couple of premium specialty blades for the hardest jobs.
