We put one on our electric drill to sharpen burned-up blades in minutes, saving the time and money that comes with a trip to buy new blades. With sharp teeth, the work is easier and goes much quicker. We’ve used the oscillating multi-tool to put scarfs into planks, doing those repairs while the planks were still attached to the boat. With a blade dewalt tools designed to cut through wood and nails we can cut through fastenings in the laps between planks. The blades are small, have a small range of motion, and can be attached at different angles, so the tool can reach into tight spaces or around corners. For long, straight cuts a blade guide is a useful attachment; it can also be used as a depth stop .
So if you use it on jobs or for a living buy dewalt blades and attachments cause you will lot find them at homedepot or lowes. Over at Amazon, the Dewalt DCS355C1 20V max cordless oscillating multi-tool kit is on sale for just $99. It’s currently dewalt accessories “temporarily out of stock,” but you can still place your order and they’ll ship a kit out to you once they receive a resupply shipment. It was a perfect type of tool to have in the cabinet, and got more use than I thought it would.
Overall I was really impressed with this tool from Dewalt. It just doesn’t cut as quickly as some of the other brands I have used. Don’t get me wrong, it works on everything I need it to do. But I absolutely love the quick change feature and all the blades it came with.
Bright LED Light illuminates dark work surfaces for accurate cutting. DEWALT Oscillating Tool Guide System allows users to set the depth or height for accurate repeatability. 29 Piece DEWALT accessory kit with storage box includes popular cutting and sanding attachments. Multi-brand accessory adaptor allows for use with most oscillating tool accessory brands. This kit includes 2 flush cut blades used for a variety of projects. The quick change accessory system allows you to change blades quickly and easily and with the universal accessory adaptor.
No other hand tool or power tool could have done the job so easily. In earlier remodeling projects, I used the Dremel to trim the bottom ends of door trim prior to installing laminate flooring. While neither of these projects involved boats, they demonstrated the ability of an oscillating multi-tool to do quick work in cramped spaces and at inconvenient angles. Triangular sanding pads can do sanding in small spaces that other sanding tools can’t reach, even all the way into corners; scraper blades speed up paint and excess epoxy removal. Blades for multi-tools tools come in different shapes and materials for use with metal, fiberglass, or wood. We found a semicircular blade handy for reefing out caulked or glued seams and also for scribing and trimming a bevel along plank edges.
If you want the kit with a higher capacity battery and a larger assortment of accessories, consider the DCS355D1, priced at $139. Acme Tools has it for $219, and Home Depot for $179. First, you get a lower capacity compact battery – either 1.3Ah or 1.5Ah.
