OMT Scraper Blades

About OMT Scraper Blades

OMT scraper blades are essential accessories for oscillating multi-tools, designed specifically for removing adhesives, sealants, paint, grout, and various surface materials. These precision-engineered blades feature either rigid or flexible profiles to tackle different scraping tasks, from stripping old paint off window frames to removing stubborn floor adhesive. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of oscillating multi-tool scraper blades from leading manufacturers including Milwaukee, Bosch Professional, DeWalt, Stanley, and Draper.

Available in both Starlock and OIS (One-Fit System) mounting types, these scraper blades are manufactured from high-quality materials including HCS (High Carbon Steel) and stainless steel. Whether you need a firm scraper for heavy-duty material removal or a flexible blade for delicate work around curves and contours, the selection at MyToolShed features professional-grade options suitable for both tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts.

Applications

OMT scraper blades are invaluable across numerous trades and applications:

• Decorators and painters: Removing old paint, wallpaper, and filler from various surfaces
• Tilers: Stripping away old grout, adhesive, and silicone sealant
• Flooring specialists: Removing carpet adhesive, vinyl flooring, and underlay residue
• Window fitters: Cleaning up old sealant and paint from frames and glass

• General maintenance: Cleaning adhesive labels, stickers, and surface contaminants
• Automotive applications: Removing decals, badges, and adhesive residue

Choosing The Right OMT Scraper Blades

Selecting the appropriate scraper blade depends on several key factors:

Blade flexibility: Rigid scrapers provide maximum force for stubborn materials and flat surfaces, whilst flexible blades conform to curved surfaces and allow more delicate scraping without gouging.

Compatibility: Ensure your chosen blade matches your multi-tool's mounting system. Starlock blades fit Bosch, Fein, and other Starlock-compatible tools, whereas OIS (One-Fit System) blades work with most major brands including DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, and Ryobi.

Blade material: HCS blades offer excellent flexibility and durability for general scraping tasks, whilst stainless steel options resist corrosion when working in damp environments or with wet materials.

Blade width: Common widths like 52mm provide versatility for most applications, though wider blades cover more area and narrower profiles access tighter spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between rigid and flexible scraper blades?

Rigid scrapers maintain a fixed angle and provide maximum leverage for removing stubborn materials from flat surfaces. Flexible scrapers bend during use, making them ideal for working around curves, contours, and delicate surfaces where you need to avoid damage.

Are Starlock and OIS blades interchangeable?

No, Starlock and OIS use different mounting systems and are not interchangeable. Always check your oscillating multi-tool's specification to determine which blade fitting system it uses before purchasing accessories.

How long do OMT scraper blades typically last?

Blade lifespan varies depending on usage intensity and materials being scraped. Professional-grade blades from brands at MyToolShed.co.uk are manufactured to high standards and typically withstand extended use, though blades working with abrasive materials like adhesive will wear faster than those used for softer substances like silicone sealant.
