Intro
The difference between a tool that sits in its case and one that earns its keep every day often comes down to the accessories you pair it with. An oscillating multi-tool is an extraordinarily versatile machine, but its potential is entirely unlocked by the blades, sanding pads, and scrapers you attach to it. The right blade for the right material means cleaner cuts, faster work, and fewer trips to the hardware shop for replacements. A comprehensive accessory set transforms a multi-tool from a single-purpose problem-solver into a complete renovation system — capable of cutting wood, metal, plastic, and stone, sanding in tight corners, scraping adhesives and paint, and removing grout, all with the same tool body. Investing in quality accessories from a manufacturer that understands the tool's engineering is one of the most practical decisions a serious user can make, because the blades do the actual work — everything else is just the motor that moves them.
Generalities
FEIN occupies a unique position in the power tool world as the company that invented the oscillating multi-tool — their original MultiMaster defined the category. Naturally, their accessories are engineered to extract maximum performance from the Starlock mounting system, which FEIN co-developed with Bosch. Starlock's three-dimensional interface between the blade and the tool transfers oscillation energy more efficiently than the older open-mount friction-based system, resulting in faster cutting and less wasted vibration. A comprehensive accessory set like this one is designed to give renovation professionals and serious DIYers a single purchase that covers the vast majority of tasks they will encounter — from cutting wood and metal to sanding, scraping, and grout removal.
This review examines FEIN's Best of Starlock RENOVATION set, a 26-piece collection of blades, sanding sheets, and scraping accessories optimised for renovation and remodelling work. We cover what is included, the quality of the high-speed steel blades, Starlock compatibility, and how this set compares to buying individual accessories. For anyone who already owns a Starlock-compatible multi-tool and wants a single, high-quality accessory kit to handle renovation projects from start to finish, this analysis provides the detail needed to decide.
Description
The FEIN Best of Starlock RENOVATION set (part number 35222967060) is a 26-piece accessory collection designed for Starlock-compatible oscillating multi-tools. The set covers the full spectrum of renovation tasks: cutting blades for wood, metal, and stone, sanding pads with assorted grit sanding sheets, scraper blades for adhesive and paint removal, and specialist accessories for grout removal and detail work. The blades are manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a thickness of 1.4 mm, giving them a balance of flexibility for flush cutting and rigidity for straight, controlled cuts. FEIN manufactures these in Germany, drawing on over 150 years of power tool engineering heritage and more than 700 active industrial property rights.
All blades in the set use the Starlock mounting system, which is the key differentiator from budget open-mount accessories. Starlock creates a positive, form-fitting three-dimensional connection between the blade and the tool's drive spindle — think of it as the difference between a friction-fit socket and one that clicks positively into place. This eliminates the micro-slippage that occurs with open-mount blades under heavy load, directing more of the tool's oscillation energy into the cut. The practical result is faster cutting, less heat build-up at the blade, and reduced vibration transmitted to the user. Starlock also enables genuinely tool-free blade changes — press the lever, swap the blade, release — in about three seconds.
The 26-piece count breaks down into a comprehensive selection that covers real renovation workflows. Wood-cutting blades in multiple sizes handle everything from fine trim cuts to aggressive demolition cutting in framing timber. Metal-cutting blades tackle copper pipe, thin steel profiles, and embedded nails. A stone-cutting blade handles tile, grout, and masonry. The sanding pad accepts the included assortment of sanding sheets in multiple grits, covering coarse material removal through to fine finishing. Scraper blades address the tedious jobs — removing old silicone, lifting vinyl flooring adhesive, stripping paint from window frames. A grout removal blade is included for bathroom and kitchen tile work. With 26 pieces, the set contains enough variety that most users will not need to buy additional accessories for their first several renovation projects.
FEIN's attention to detail extends to the smaller accessories. The sanding sheets use a hook-and-loop backing for quick changes and are punched with dust extraction holes that align with the sanding pad and, when connected to a vacuum, help keep the work area clean. The scraper blades have a precise edge geometry that lifts material without gouging the substrate — important when removing adhesive from a concrete floor that will receive new tile, or stripping paint from wood that will be refinished rather than painted over. The set comes in FEIN's signature orange colour and is packaged in a way that keeps the blades organised and protected — a practical consideration given that sharp HSS blades can damage each other if stored loose in a tool bag.
The set measures approximately 5 × 3.5 cm in its packaged form and weighs about 100 grams. Customer satisfaction is outstanding — 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 430 reviews — and it ranks an impressive 35 in the Oscillating Tool Accessories category with a bestseller position of 11,711 in DIY & Tools. At approximately €78 for 26 genuine FEIN accessories, the per-piece cost is around €3, which compares favourably to buying individual FEIN blades at €8–€15 each. EU spare parts are available for one year. For renovation professionals and serious DIYers, this set represents a smart way to stock up on premium accessories from the company that invented the tool category.
Pros and cons
Pros
- 26-piece set covers the full renovation workflow — wood, metal, and stone cutting blades, sanding pads with multiple grit sheets, scraper blades, and a grout removal accessory in one purchase.
- Genuine FEIN high-speed steel blades manufactured in Germany — the company that invented the oscillating multi-tool and holds over 700 industrial property rights.
- Starlock mounting system provides a positive 3D connection that transfers oscillation energy more efficiently than open-mount blades — faster cuts and less vibration.
- Tool-free blade changes in approximately three seconds with the Starlock lever mechanism — practical when switching between cutting, sanding, and scraping on the same project.
- Excellent customer validation — 4.5 out of 5 stars from 430 reviews and ranked 35 in Oscillating Tool Accessories, reflecting consistent professional satisfaction.
- At approximately €78 for 26 pieces (€3 per item), the per-unit cost is significantly lower than buying individual FEIN blades at €8–€15 each.
- Hook-and-loop sanding sheets with dust extraction holes align with the sanding pad for cleaner working conditions when connected to a vacuum.
Cons
- Starlock mount requires a Starlock-compatible multi-tool — older tools with only the friction-based open-mount interface cannot use these blades without a Starlock adaptor.
- At €78, the upfront cost is higher than generic 26-piece accessory sets — the value depends on the FEIN blades outlasting cheaper HSS alternatives.
- The set is oriented toward renovation rather than new construction or metal fabrication — some specialty blades for heavy steel or thick masonry may need to be purchased separately.
- The 1.4 mm blade thickness is versatile but not ideal for every application — very aggressive demolition work may benefit from thicker, more rigid blades sold separately.
Use cases
This 26-piece FEIN Starlock accessory set is ideal for renovation professionals and committed DIYers who own a Starlock-compatible multi-tool and want a single, high-quality kit that covers cutting, sanding, scraping, and grout removal across the full range of renovation materials.
Complete Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation touches every material a multi-tool handles: cutting out old tile and grout, trimming subfloor and drywall, removing silicone sealant, scraping old adhesive, and sanding filler on repaired surfaces. This 26-piece set provides the right blade or attachment for each step, reducing downtime spent searching for the correct accessory. The Starlock quick-change system means switching from a grout removal blade to a sanding pad takes seconds.
Kitchen Remodelling and Fit-Out
Fitting a new kitchen involves cutting worktops to length, trimming plinths and end panels, flush-cutting pipework, and making precise cutouts in cabinet backs for services. The wood and metal blades in this set cover all these tasks, while the sanding pads handle edge finishing. Having 26 FEIN accessories on hand means you are not making emergency trips to the hardware shop mid-installation because the one blade that came with your tool has worn out.
Flooring Removal and Installation
Removing old laminate, vinyl, or carpet involves cutting through flooring material, scraping up adhesive residues, and undercutting door frames for the new floor. The scraper blades tackle adhesive removal efficiently, while the wood-cutting blades handle undercutting and trimming. The assortment of sanding sheets is useful for smoothing subfloor patches and feathering filler before the new floor covering goes down.
Window and Door Frame Renovation
Replacing windows and doors often means cutting through old timber frames, removing hardened sealant and expanding foam, trimming architraves, and sanding repaired areas. The variety of blade sizes in this set handles both fine trim cuts and more aggressive demolition work. The scraper blades are particularly effective at removing old sealant beads and paint build-up from window reveals.
Professional Van Stock Replenishment
For renovation contractors, running out of the right blade on site means lost time and a trip to the nearest supplier. This 26-piece set provides a comprehensive restock of the most commonly needed accessories in one purchase, at a per-piece cost well below buying individually. The FEIN quality means blades last through multiple jobs, and the Starlock compatibility ensures they work with any Starlock multi-tool in the van — FEIN, Bosch, or Makita.
