How to Choose a Sanding Attachment
Check mount type, pad shape, and job scale before choosing a head or pad set:
1. Mounting Fit
Starlock fits Bosch, Fein and some Makita models. Open-style pads fit most universal multitools.
2. Pad Shape
Triangle (delta) pads for corners, round pads for speed, square for full coverage on flat timber or plasterboard.
3. Grit & Flexibility
Pick a range of grits (40–240) for rough to fine work. Flexible pads follow curves, rigid pads control flat sanding.

Multi Tool Sanding FAQs
Do all sanding pads fit any multitool?
No — check for Starlock or universal mount type. Starlock pads only fit Starlock-compatible tools.
Can I reuse sanding sheets?
Only if still sharp. Most are disposable, but light-use grits (240+) may last multiple uses on softwoods or paint.
What’s the best grit for paint removal?
Start with 60–80 grit to strip, then use 120+ for smoothing. Always check surface condition first.
Can I sand plasterboard with these?
Yes — but use finer grits (120–180) and take care to avoid gouging. Ideal for sanding filler or patching repairs.
Are multitool sanders better than mouse sanders?
They’re more versatile but less purpose-built. For small jobs, multitool sanders are great. For whole rooms, use a dedicated sander.
