Are you wanting to buy a multi-tool, but you’re unsure what the difference between Starlock, StarlockPlus and StarlockMax is? Don’t worry, we’ll explain everything you need to know.<\/p>\n
A multi-tool’s interface is its accessory-fitting system. Multi-tools either have an older OIS interface or a newer Starlock interface.<\/p>\n
The Oscillating Interface System (OIS) was created by Bosch in 2010. It was the first standardised accessory-fitting system for oscillating tools, allowing you to use different brand’s accessories with different brand’s oscillating tools.<\/p>\n
Starlock was created by Bosch and Fein in 2016. It’s an improved standardised accessory-fitting system for multi-tools. Starlock accessories have a future-proof ‘cake-tin’ pattern for a 3D connection\u00a0between the motor and accessory<\/strong>. This ensures 100% power transfer<\/strong> for maximum performance, stability and precision.<\/p>\n There are three Starlock categories: Starlock, StarlockPlus and StarlockMax<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Each Starlock multi-tool category indicates different power outputs. Starlock multi-tools<\/span><\/a><\/strong> are the standard range. StarlockPlus multi-tools<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are more powerful. StarlockMax multi-tools<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are the most powerful.<\/p>\n Each Starlock accessory category is designed to match the power output of its compatible multi-tools<\/strong>.\u00a0Starlock accessories<\/strong><\/span><\/a> fit all multi-tools, no matter if they have a Starlock, StarlockPlus, StarlockMax or OIS interface. (DeWalt multi-tools require an adapter.)\u00a0StarlockPlus accessories<\/strong><\/span><\/a> fit all multi-tools with a StarlockPlus or StarlockMax interface.\u00a0StarlockMax accessories<\/strong><\/span><\/a> fit all multi-tools with a StarlockMax interface.<\/p>\n Note: Accessories with an OIS interface aren’t compatible with Starlock multi-tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you wanting to buy a multi-tool, but you’re unsure what the difference between Starlock, StarlockPlus and StarlockMax is?
