TOLOCO Massage Gun Attachments: Which Head to Use (2026)
TOLOCO massage guns include several interchangeable heads, and picking the right one is simple: use the ball head for large muscles, the flat head for general and near-joint areas, the bullet head for pinpoint knots and feet, and the fork head around the spine and Achilles (never directly on bone). Below is a head-by-head breakdown of what each attachment is best for, plus how to swap and replace them. New to the device? Start with our beginner guide.
Ball Head: Large Muscle Groups
The round ball head is the everyday all-rounder and the one most people reach for first.
- Best for large muscles — quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, and shoulders.
- Spreads the impact over a wider area, so it feels comfortable for general recovery.
- Often made of a softer material to suit warm-ups and broad coverage.
If you're not sure which head to grab, the ball head is a safe default for most of the body.
Flat Head: General and Near-Joint Use
The flat disc head is versatile and gentle enough for more areas.
- Good for general use across most muscle groups.
- Works near joints and denser areas because it distributes pressure evenly.
- A solid choice for the chest, arms, and larger back muscles.
It's a great second-most-used head after the ball, especially if the ball head feels too soft for you.
Bullet and Fork Heads: Targeted Work
These two are for precision rather than broad coverage.
- Bullet head — pinpoints deep knots, trigger points, the soles of the feet, and areas around (not on) small joints. Use light pressure; it's intense.
- Fork / U-shape head — straddles the spine, neck, calves, and the Achilles tendon so the prongs work the muscle on either side while avoiding the bone in the middle.
Keep both moving and use lower speeds — concentrated heads can bruise if you park them.
Other Heads and How to Swap Them
Depending on your model, you may also get extra heads such as a cushioned or spade-style tip for softer or broader work. Swapping is quick:
- With the gun switched off, pull the current head straight out of the socket.
- Line up the new head and push it firmly in until it clicks and seats fully.
- Give it a gentle tug to confirm it's locked before turning the gun on.
Match the head to the muscle, then dial in the speed as covered in the how-to-use guide. Try the ball or flat head on models like the EM26 or M63 to get comfortable first.
Replacements and Compatibility
Heads can wear out, tear, or go missing — and replacements are inexpensive.
- Buy heads listed as compatible with your specific TOLOCO model, since the socket size can vary between models.
- If a head feels loose or won't click in, it's likely the wrong fit — don't force it.
- Wipe heads clean after use and let them dry fully; foam and softer tips absorb sweat.
Keep the full set in the case so you always have the right head on hand for each muscle.
