Where is a multi-tool indispensable?

In cuts you cannot otherwise reach: trimming installed casings and skirting, opening small rectangles in a wall, removing sealant and grout, sanding into corners.

Are accessories interchangeable between brands?

Star-type quick mounts work within their own ecosystem; many machines accept other brands through a universal adapter. Check the mount before buying.

Can it cut nail-embedded wood?

With a bimetal plunge blade, yes. A plain wood blade loses teeth on the first nail.

What is speed control for?

It matches oscillation rate to the material: low speed stops plastics melting, high speed advances faster in timber.

Oscillating Multi-Tools

A multi-tool oscillates its blade side to side through a small angle at high speed; because nothing rotates, it makes controlled cuts in walls, tight corners and installed work. The catalogue holds 12 models.

When a multi-tool is the answer

You buy this machine for access and control, not speed: trimming under a door casing, correcting installed joinery, cutting out sealant, sanding into a corner. Larger machines either will not reach or damage what is around the cut.

The accessory mount is part of the choice: star-type quick systems (Starlock and similar) hold accessories tool-free and without play, while universal adapters accept other brands' blades.

Plunge blades: timber, plasterboard, plastic, nail-embedded wood (bimetal).
Segment blades: joints, sealant and grout.
Scraper/sanding pad: corner sanding, adhesive residue.
Speed control: low for plastics, high for timber.
