BACKGROUND: OSCILLATING TOOLS
➢ An oscillating multi-tool works with
a rapid, side-to-side movement.
The oscillation is very slight (~3 degrees)
and very fast (~20,000 strokes/minute)
➢ A variety of attachments can fit on
the flange of the tool, allowing it to
perform tasks such as cutting,
scraping, sanding, and rasping.
NON-CONFIDENTIAL MARKETING PACKAGE 6
EXISTING TECHNOLOGY: PROPRIETARY ATTACHMENTS
➢ Fein invented the modern oscillating
tool technology in 1986.
➢ After Fein’s patent expired, other
manufacturers released proprietary
versions of the tool with distinctive
drive flanges (shown on right).
➢ Each manufacturer sold attachments
that only fit their own tools.
