An oscillating tool moves its head back and forth at high speeds by a tiny amount, thereby eliminating much of the kickback you might experience with regular electric saws or sanders. It is therefore especially nice for delicate workpieces and hard-to-reach places.
Accessories
An oscillating tool is a very flexible tool which can be used for a broad range of tasks and with a broad range of materials.
In order to achieve this flexibility, a variety of attachments exist, which can quickly be attached to the tool:
Sanders

Saws
Changeable Saws
Changeable saw attachments are attachments to the oscillating tool in which the saw blade is replaceable. In case the saw breaks or becomes blunt, the saw blade can easily be replaced and therefore not the whole attachment has to be thrown away.
