You can find a lot of information about the oscillating tool category.  And you can find the tools in a lot of places: online, Home Depot, Lowe’s – even at Target or Meijer.  The tool is everywhere because it works.  The concept is solid – a single tool to cut, grind, scrape and sand (check out the Skil oscillating tool review). It can be used on wood, flooring and synthetic wood – a wide variety of building materials.

Bosch has brought added value to the category by developing an interface, an adapter that allows the company’s high-quality accessories to be used on virtually any brand of oscillating tool.  It’s an advantage both from the standpoint of always having a best-in-class accessory for your power tool, but also expanding the accessories available to you at the building products store.  So consider using an oscillating tool on your next job.  There’s no downside in having maximum functionality in a single tool.
