Other Multi Tool Accessories
Multi tool accessories expand the capability of your multitool — from sanding and polishing to dust control and blade fitment. These extras are key to getting the most from your tool setup.
What Counts as a Multi Tool Accessory?
Not just blades — these accessories cover finishing, tool compatibility and working efficiency:
- Sanding Pads & Sheets – Convert your multitool into a detail sander for tight corners or trim prep.
- Backing Pads – Attach hook-and-loop sheets for fast abrasive changes.
- Blade Adaptors – Fit blades from one brand to another multitool body (e.g., Starlock to universal).
- Dust Extraction Ports – Clip-on adaptors for cleaner cuts and less clean-up.
Ideal For:
- Joinery and trim prep (with sanding heads)
- Adapting blades across brands or platforms
- Decorators sanding edges and corners
- Dust-managed site work
Choosing the Right Multi Tool Accessory
Match the accessory to your tool’s mount and your planned job:
1. Mount Compatibility
Check for Starlock, OIS, or open-style fittings before buying sanding or adaptor heads.
2. Accessory Material
Plastic pads for sanding, metal adaptors for blade conversion. Use original brand parts where possible.
3. Purpose Fit
Use specific accessories for clean results — e.g. triangular pads for corners, round pads for fast sheet work.
Multi Tool Accessory FAQs
Can I use sanding sheets with any multitool?
Yes, as long as you have the correct sanding pad backing plate. Sheets are typically hook-and-loop fit.
Are blade adaptors safe?
Yes — if matched correctly. Use reputable adaptors to avoid blade slippage or tool wear.
What’s the benefit of a dust extraction adaptor?
Cleaner work and longer blade life. Dust ports connect to vacs and remove debris while cutting or sanding.
Do accessories wear out quickly?
Sanding pads and hook plates can wear with heavy use. Keep spares on hand and replace if grip weakens.
Can I use different brands of accessories?
Yes — with adaptors or universal mounts. Always confirm fit to avoid poor performance or safety issues.
