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
A list of accessories can be found at the Fein shop.
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. Please not that we do NOT have everything available, you may want to bring the attachment needed for your project:

We have several sanding pads that hold compatible triangular sandpaper sheets with a hook-and-loop (Klett) system. Please bring more sanding sheets when you consume some!
Saw Blades
Saw blades for the oscillating tool come in two basic variants - fixed or exchangeable.
Exchangeable 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.
Fixed saw attachments are attachments to the oscillating tool in which the saw blade is fix and cannot be replaced. In case the saw breaks or becomes blunt, the whole attachment has to be replaced.
