It makes no difference what blade-type or tooth-size you’re using. This makes accidentally touching a running blade startling but usually uneventful. However, it is possible to cut yourself with enough pressure. Compared to other tools, oscillating tools have tiny motors and their blades have short strokes, so they tend to hum at lower speeds. Also, the material you’re cutting and the blade you’re using has a lot to do with the noise that the tool produces, so it’s difficult to determine an expected decibel range.

Otherwise it does what I bought it to do, oscillate back and forth while holding an accessory. You can cut curved or straight lines with an oscillating tool. To cut straight, you’ll typically do best with a round or dewalt tools half-moon saw blade. Mark your desired cut line with a pencil or marker on the material you’ll be cutting, and then slowly and carefully work your oscillating tool along the line, cutting no deeper than ¼-inch.

This list updates each time you open it based on the criteria selected. I have purchased 2 other oscillating saws which both have failed for the same reason. The first situation the pins sheared off which held the blades. If you’re already in the DeWalt 20V system, check out the bare tool on the Home Depot website for 139, comes with free 4.0 Ah battery. I should add the dewalt is a lot lighter and has a trigger instead of on of switch. If you want the kit with a higher capacity battery and a larger assortment of accessories, consider the DCS355D1, priced at $139.

Unique exterior tool access design means you can reach most all of the tools without having to open the multi tool and expose the pliers, saving you time and hassle. The multi-tool has long been a staple in my arsenal but this brushless Dewalt model takes it up a notch. The 20V oscillating multi-tool has a powerful brushless motor providing up to 57% more run time over a similar brushed tool.

This multi-tool comes with two wood cutting blades to give the user a head start on the next project. Meanwhile, the bright LED light on the dewalt accessories tool illuminates dark work spaces. Power the DCS355B with Dewalt 20V MAX lithium-ion battery models such as DCB230, DCB206, and DCB205 .
