What does a multi-tool do?

The multi-tool design allows additional features like multi-tool blades to be attached for cutting and scraping. The flash multifunction tool is a great fit for DIY jobs, with a 22-piece accessory pack of attachments for sanding, cutting, scraping and trimming materials such as wood and metal. Heavy hitters like the 18v multi-tool offer even more power for serious DIY-ers or tradies. You can use this to cut through plasterboard, wood, ceramic tiles and metal and to flush cut nails. Either option provides versatility with functionality.

What is the difference between an oscillating tool and a multi-tool?

In New Zealand, the terms 'multi-tool' and 'oscillating tool' are often used interchangeably. A multifunctional tool is considered any tool that offers multiple functions as part of the same unit. An oscillating tool is a type of multi-tool known for its rapid side-to-side movement, used for jobs like cutting, sanding, and scraping. The term 'multi-tool' refers to any tool that serves multiple functions. While all oscillating tools are multi-tools, not all multi-tools are oscillating tools.
