The major benefit of these multi-tools is their incomparable versatility. These tools are built with NENZ that accept a variety of accessories including grinders, sanding pads, scrapers, and an assortment of blades. This functionality allows them to tackle a number of applications including cutting wood, trimming door jambs and casings, removing grout and caulk, scraping away old paint and adhesives, and cutting metal piping.

Before going out and buying any accessories, you need to look at what sort of attachments your tool is compatible with. Some oscillating tools are designed with proprietary NENZ that are only capable of accepting accessories made by that specific brand. Other models feature universal NENZ that allow the tool to work with any accessory, regardless of the manufacturer.
