Multi Tools

A multi tool (or oscil­lat­ing tool) is a power tool that oscil­lates (rather than rotat­ing or recip­roc­at­ing). The name ​‘multi tool’ is a ref­er­ence to the many func­tions that this tool can per­form with the range of attach­ments avail­able. Attach­ments are avail­able for saw­ing, sand­ing, rasp­ing, grind­ing, scrap­ing, cut­ting, and polishing.

This tool is unsuit­able for heavy usage.

The small form of these tools and the abil­ity to mount the blade or access­ory in any ori­ent­a­tion allows cut­ting in areas that are oth­er­wise vir­tu­ally unreach­able. It also has the abil­ity to cut a com­plex or pre­cise recess into wood. They are often used in wood­work­ing and DIY.
