Dewalt Oscillating Multi
Heavy-duty oscillating tools can cut, sand, or grind, helping you do tough jobs in half the time. One of the beauties of an oscillating tool is its versatility, thanks to the many different types of available attachments. If you already have your tool, but need an extensive assortment of attachments to go with it, then you’ll love the Arms Tools 27-Piece Oscillating Tool Accessory Kit. Light in weight and on the wallet, the Genesis multi-purpose oscillating tool doesn’t disappoint in its value and power. The reasonable price tag is perfectly paired with the versatility of this compact corded machine.
All of this, including the drywall cutting, was done on a single battery charge, with juice to spare. DeWalt claims a 57% increased run-time due to the brush-less motor. I was really pleased, because I only have the one 20 V MAX battery on hand. My aging fleet of cordless tools are running on last generation, monstrous Ni-Cad batteries that I couldn’t swap into the tool. Below, you’ll find our reviews of the best, with hard-earned insights gleaned from our testing. Some oscillating tools have variable speed controls, which makes the tool quite a bit more versatile.
Over at Amazon, the Dewalt DCS355C1 20V max cordless oscillating multi-tool kit is on sale for just $99.

From the powerful ultra smooth brushless motor to the perfectly molded rubberized grips everything about this tool is top notch. The first thing you notice when you pick up this tool is how well balanced and how solid it feels.

That kit was $99 on BF last year at Lowe’s, I believe it was $99 bare tool at HD for BF…maybe the HD kit came with a 1.3 Ah battery. I know Lowe’s had the better deal b/c that’s where I bought mine.
As we started making our initial cuts, two things because clear. For starters, the tool seemed to be genuinely faster than the last brushless model and clearly a big upgrade from the initial brushed one. That was a little bit of a surprise considering the DeWalt DCS356 has the same 20,000 OPM speed and 3.2° arc as the dewalt Hand tools 355. This cordless DEWALT multi-tool has 20 volts, which allows it to quickly slice through sheetrock, light woods, and metal.

I get tired of rooting around in the bottom of tool bags for those items. The benefit of waiting a long time to introduce a new tool to your lineup is you get to see all the good and bad from your competition and use it to design your own. The DEWALT DWE315K clearly focuses on two traits and that’s versatility and power. The powerful 3 amp motor competes for the most powerful in this segment against the Bosch MX30E and slightly more powerful than the current FEIN models on the market. With the Tool Guide System it clearly offers some nice versatility that’s not being offered on many other Brands or models on the market today.
There are several different attachment styles to choose from, so finding the right one can be somewhat confusing. Keep in mind, however, that power isn’t as important as having the right blade on your tool and setting it to the proper speed. Cutting metal requires lower speeds than wood, so be sure to choose an oscillating tool with an adjustable speed range. Look for tools with oscillating speed ranges between 8,000 and 20,000 oscillations per minute for optimal usability in most home improvement projects. A corded oscillating tool is the way to go for someone who uses their oscillating tool frequently and for long durations, like during woodworking and sanding. Corded power tools work as long as there is electricity available.
It also comes with a universal accessory adapter, which will allow you to secure most blades and attachments to this tool. PORTER-CABLE’s signature tool-free blade change system is a user favorite. It allows for quick changes to effortlessly switch from sanding to cutting or vice versa without requiring other tools to attach accessories or awkward bolts to fumble with. The oscillating tool is compatible with other accessories you may have on hand and can fit blades from most manufacturers easily. DEWALT certainly is late to the game with their first oscillating tool, however they certainly have brought their “A” game with the DWE315K. From the very first look at this new multi-tool you get the impression that it was built for heavy duty use in the field.
