A method of using an oscillating accessory with an oscillating power tool may include providing an attachment member. The attachment member may include an attachment plate, a raised rim portion extending from the attachment plate, the raised rim having a central recess, a keyed sidewall with an at least partially star shape configured to be engaged by a first mating geometry of an oscillating power tool, and a top wall that includes a receiving portion having a plurality of recesses configured to be engaged by a second mating geometry of an oscillating power tool. The central recess may not be in communication with any of the plurality of recesses. The attachment member may be used to facilitate tool-free attachment of a working portion to the oscillating power tool via a clamp assembly having a first clamp member moveable relative to a second clamp member without use of a secondary tool.

An oscillating power tool includes a housing, a motor, a tool holder driven oscillatingly, a flange threadedly coupled to a plunger, and a lever pivotable between a clamping position and a release position. The flange is configured to be movable in an axial direction. The flange is configured to clamp the output element onto the tool holder in the clamping position and configured to be displaced a first distance from the tool holder in the release position. The lever includes a cam surface including a substantially flat surface configured to engage the plunger in the release position. In the release position, a gap is disposed between the lever and the housing to allow the lever to be rotated past the release position. The lever is configured to displace the flange a second distance from the tool holder, larger than the first distance, when rotated past the release position.
