What is an Oscillating Multi Tool?

A multi tool (often referred to as an oscillating multi tool) uses rapid rotational oscillations (vibrating side-to-side) to provide a precise cutting or sanding motion.

The wide variety of attachments available on the market makes it incredibly easy to cut a vast range of materials. You can attach accessories that allow you to sand, polish, grind, and scrape with precision in tight areas where a standard saw or sander simply won't fit. We offer comprehensive kits, like the DeWalt 18V multitool kits, that include a large selection of attachments, letting you tackle a wide range of applications right out of the box.

FAQs

What materials can be cut with a DeWalt 18V multi tool?

Using the correct cutting attachment, an oscillating tool can cut through a vast array of materials, including:

  • Wood (including wood with embedded nails)
  • Fibreglass and Plastics
  • Drywall and Plasterboard
  • Mortar and Grout
  • Copper pipes and light metals

What are common tasks that a multi tool can be used for?

Because it is so versatile, a multi tool is commonly used for jobs that are otherwise awkward to reach. Popular applications include:

  • Cutting precise openings into drywall for electrical boxes
  • Trimming architraves and doorframes in place
  • Plunge cutting into wood flooring
  • Sanding furniture or getting into tight corners
  • Removing grouting from between tiles
  • Scraping away old adhesive, sealant, or flaking paint

Do Starlock attachment accessories work with DeWalt multi tools?

Generally, Starlock accessories do not fit a DeWalt multi tool natively without an adapter. DeWalt uses a universal Quick-Change accessory system that is natively compatible with traditional OIS (Oscillating Interface System) blades.

Is a brushless DeWalt multi tool better than a brushed one?

Yes. A brushless multi tool (like those in DeWalt's XR range) is much more efficient. The brushless motor generates less heat and friction, which significantly extends the runtime of your 18V battery and increases the overall lifespan of the tool.

What speed should I use on my oscillating tool?

Most DeWalt models feature a variable speed trigger or dial. As a rule of thumb, use high speeds for cutting through wood or metal quickly, and use lower speeds for sanding (to avoid burning the wood or melting the sandpaper) or when making delicate plunge cuts in brittle materials.
