Bosch PMF 220 CE Multi-Tool Set (220 W) with carrying case

A Bosch multi-tool kit is one of those purchases that only really clicks when you’ve got awkward jobs—skirting boards, odd cuts, tight corners—where a normal drill or jigsaw just feels like the wrong tool. This Bosch PMF 220 CE set leans into that idea: it’s built around a 220 W motor with electronic speed preselection, and it arrives as a ready-to-use bundle in a carry case.

The kit is clearly aimed at people who want to tackle “messy” DIY and light trade tasks without constantly buying new blades and accessories. It includes several Starlock-compatible items listed in the scope of supply, plus things you’ll actually use: dust extraction, sanding materials, and a depth stop system for more controlled segment sawing. Still, it’s not a one-size-fits-all workshop upgrade if you’re expecting the broadest possible cuts in every material—this is the kind of tool that shines when you match the right attachment to the job.

The essentials

This is a Bosch Multi-Tool set (220 W) that uses electronic speed preselection, so you can dial in the pace rather than relying purely on trigger feel. The “in case” part matters more than it sounds: when you’re switching between sanding, scraping and plunge cutting, keeping blades and plates together reduces the hassle.

In the box you get multiple cutting and sanding options, including: - BIM segment saw blades for wood and metal (including an 85 mm segment blade) - Delta sanding plate (93 mm) with a set of sanding sheets - A dust extraction component meant to help keep the work area clearer - Scraper accessories and multi blades for fast tackling of common surface work

Also worth noting: Bosch’s MagnetHold system is included for accessory changes, and there’s a 4-stage depth stop attachment for precise segment sawing. That combination is aimed at making frequent tool-free changes feel more manageable.

What you’ll notice day to day

The biggest day-to-day benefit here is practical control. Electronic speed preselection helps you avoid rushing through sanding or over-aggressing on delicate cuts, and the depth stop attachment is there for when you want the segment blade to keep a consistent cutting depth.

A micro-example: imagine trimming a section of skirting board flush with a floor surface. With the segment saw blade and the depth stop attachment, you can creep into the cut more confidently than “guessing depth”. Then you can swap to sanding (delta plate and sheets) for the final tidy-up along the edge.

That said, no kit like this is perfect for every scenario. If your projects are mostly straight-line cutting with large access and you already own specialised saws, the multi-tool will feel more “fine-control” than “primary cutting machine”.

Key features that help the work move

The set includes a dust extraction accessory in the scope of supply, which is a genuine quality-of-life inclusion when you’re sanding or doing repeated surface work. It also ships with both cutting and finishing attachments rather than forcing you to start from scratch.

From the packaging details provided, the supply focuses on the most common categories of multi-tool work: - Segment sawing (with a dedicated depth stop for more consistent results) - Sanding (delta plate plus a sheet set) - Scraping and detail cutting (HCS flexible scraper and additional HCS/HM blades listed)

There’s also a “wide range of Starlock accessories available” mentioned as part of the system idea, plus the MagnetHold assistance for changes. If you plan to expand later, this ecosystem approach can be useful over time.

Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)

It makes sense if you’re the sort of DIYer or handyman who regularly encounters small, awkward jobs: grout and edge clean-ups, light plunge cutting, sanding into corners, or trimming where you can’t reach comfortably with bigger tools.

It’s not for you if your projects are mainly large-area cutting or you need a dedicated saw for big, straight runs. In those cases, a multi-tool can end up being a secondary tool rather than the main one, and you may not use enough of the included attachments to justify the kit approach.

You may want to skip it if you already have a pile of compatible accessories and you only need a single blade type. Without knowing your current compatibility, though, the set is a safer “start with something useful” purchase.

Is it worth it?

Buy the Bosch PMF 220 CE set if you want a ready-to-go multi-tool bundle with practical add-ons: sanding sheets, dust extraction support, scraping blades, and—importantly—the 4-stage depth stop for more controlled segment sawing. The 220 W power with electronic speed preselection is a sensible combo for everyday DIY, where you’re switching tasks more often than you’re doing one long, uninterrupted job.

Don’t buy it if you’re expecting a specialist cutting machine or you only need one specific function. Also, if you’re very sensitive to dust and extraction performance, it’s worth remembering that “includes dust extraction” doesn’t automatically mean it will eliminate dust in every setup.

For most people deciding on whether a multi-tool kit is “the right kind of investment”, this one reads as a solid mid-range starter with an actual range of attachments in the case—less faff, more doing.

FAQs

How many attachments come with this PMF 220 CE set?

What is the depth stop for?

It’s designed to help with more precise segment sawing by adding depth control across four stages, so you’re less reliant on guesswork.

Does it include dust extraction?

Yes, dust extraction is included as part of the listed scope of supply.

Is it better for wood and metal work?

The bundle includes blades specifically mentioned for wood and metal segment sawing, plus additional blade types for wood and surface work, so it’s geared toward mixed DIY tasks rather than one material only.

Is the carrying case useful?

Yes—the set is supplied “in case”, which is exactly what you want if you plan to switch between attachments regularly and keep everything together.
