Dewalt Multi Tool
The GOP40-30C comes with a carrying case and 32 accessories, including sandpaper, several blades, and a separate box for holding accessories. If you’re interested in dust collection, you can purchase a separate attachment to hook the GOP40-30C to your shop vac. Oscillating tools work by vibrating your blade or sanding attachment back and forth, so it’s understandable that some of those vibrations will make it back to your hand.
Powerful 3.0 Amp Motor provides strong performance for cutting and sanding. QUICK-CHANGE Accessory System allows blades and attachments to be changed quickly without wrenches. DUAL-GRIP Variable Speed Trigger gives users ultimate speed and application control. 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.
Over at Amazon, the Dewalt DCS355C1 20V max cordless oscillating multi-tool kit is on sale for just $99. It’s currently “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. I’m not the one to sing praises about a tool like a fanboy but this is a very special tool. 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.
I found it very easy to set up and use allowing me to easily cut materials in a straight line, something not easily accomplished with any other multi-tool that I’ve used before. Oscillating tools swing blades back and forth in very small arcs. These arcs allow the teeth of a blade or grit on a piece of sandpaper to dig into the surface, while also making these saws very easy to control. If you still have some questions about the best oscillating tools, that’s understandable.
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.
To see our selection of blades compatible with this adapter see our ‘Bosch’ tab on the website selection bar. Given DEWALT’s recent push for dust collection I’m surprised the sanding attachment doesn’t have an adapter for the hepa vac. The only small issue I have with the DWE315 is the set screw dewalt accessories for the Tool Guide. It has a tendency to work itself loose when the tool is on and vibrating. I’d like to see some sort of clamp that would lock the guide into position better under substantial vibration. This is a pretty small gripe considering how important and useful I think the guide is.
Make as many passes as necessary to cut through the material. Take care not to press down hard; let the tool do the work. Pressing the blade down too hard can cause it to overheat and wear out quickly, and also makes it likelier you’ll veer off your desired cut line.
The tool vibrates the blades from side to side in an arc, digging the blade into material or moving the sandpaper across the surface. The Dremel Multi-Max MM50 is one of the bestselling oscillating tools, and for good reason. Loaded with features, it has lots of power, fits easily into even tight spaces, makes changing attachments a breeze, and has variable speeds for excellent control.
The quick-change lever allows for keyless blade changes for fast swapping between the 28 included accessories. It comes with a carry bag and a 32-piece accessory kit full of blades, sandpaper, and attachments. Cutting hard materials like metal can take a while, so a corded oscillating tool with a low speed range offers the capability to see the job through. The DEWALT DWE315K is a dependable corded oscillating tool with a 3-amp motor. It has a wide speed range between zero and 22,000 oscillations per minute, allowing you to choose the exact low-range speed you need for cutting materials like iron, steel, and stainless.
Of course, my entire hand wouldn’t fit in there to pull the trigger comfortably, but there is a trigger lock feature to keep it running, something else my original tool didn’t enjoy.
