Types
Attachments or accessories can be mandatory, usually because they are essential to the smooth running of the machine, for example a Rotary tool cannot be used without some kind of point or attachment for it to function, however there may be many choices of different attachments dependent on the type of equipment and the intended use of the particular product.
They may also be optional- for example, when renting a car, there may be the option to take accessories such as child seats, satellite navigation etc.
Many rental items also have hidden or embedded accessories or attachments- for example, renting a car or a large generator, it is normally supplied with a full or partial tank of fuel. When returned, it would probably be expected to be returned with the same amount of fuel. Effectively the fuel tank is being treated as an embedded accessory.
Some accessories may actually be consumables, for example a tool rental company might include dust masks and sanding belts with the rental of a Floor Sander. In this case, the consumables may be billed upfront as a normal retail product, or may be supplied on a sale or return basis where the rental company will charge based on the unused product returned at the end of the rental period.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
