Dewalt 20v Max Xr Brushless Cordless Oscillating Multi
The blade travel is slight, nothing like the inch or so of travel of a big, bad reciprocating saw. These tools can make fine cuts in difficult to reach areas, even straight, plunging cuts. Many brands of Oscillating Multi Tools have appeared over the last several years, along with accessories beyond cutting blades.
I loved not having to fiddle around with a clumsy power cord while I sanded the piece. I popped on the sander accessory and gave my project a good once over. The kit I purchased includes this fitting, plus a decent supply of sandpaper, in three grits. I found the tool versatile and enough to use throughout the entire project, I even used it like a pair of power shears to cut the beadboard backer. I rough cut it to size, then trimmed it flush, once it was tacked in place. In fact, at one point,because I can be an idiot,I dropped my remote camera trigger down inside the wall and simply shined the tool’s LED headlight down the wall to locate it.

Unlike many other power tools that work by spinning blades or moving them in a back-and-forth motion, oscillating tools oscillate—that means a side-to-side motion at a very high rate of speed. To get the most usable life out of your blades and minimize the noise and vibrations you’ll have to deal with, regulate your speed. Set the oscillating tool at a low setting, and work your way up until the blade is cutting well without burning the material or dulling the blade. The DCS356D1 has a built-in LED light that helps when working in dark cabinets or corners of poorly lit rooms. It comes with a carrying bag and a 28-piece accessory kit that includes several blades, a sanding block and paper, an accessory box, and a rolling depth gauge. For corded oscillating tools, the tool gets its voltage from the outlet, but there are other factors.
When cutting door or baseboard trim for new flooring, use a piece of scrap flooring as a guide. Lay the scrap piece of flooring on the subfloor and rest the blade flat on its surface. If you keep the blade in contact with this scrap piece as you cut the trim, you’ll end up with a section of perfectly scribed baseboard for your new floor to fit under. Sanding projects that require a power sander can take a lot out of you. The vibrations from a power sander can cause fatigue, and they can wear out a light-duty tool. The Rockwell RK5142K Sonicrafter F50 Oscillating Multi-Tool solves those issues.
Push the switch from either the right of the left with the trigger down and it locks the trigger on. Push it from either side with the trigger off and it will lock it out. One of the obvious changes from the 355 is that the DeWalt DCS356 has three speed settings instead of just one. Rather than going the route of a variable speed dial on the side, there’s a selection switch on the foot.

It also can zip through softwood quickly and easily at a high speed. Thought the tool was good for used in those hard to reach areas to cut wood & metal. Will continue to replace my Dewalts with better quality tools going forward. I bought this as I wasn’t able to find the blades for the Master Mechanic I have.

Also, a blade intended for wood, passing through hardwoods like maple or oak at maximum speed can create too much heat, burning the wood and grinding the teeth off of the blade. The next task I tried was to cut a large drywall opening for my in wall closet shelving project. DeWalt has been my choice in the electrical dewalt accessories field for over twenty years and adding the oscillating tool was a bonus! Cutting outlet boxes out is so much easier because all you do is cut the box support from the nail, pull the box out with the wires and then remove the nails. Plunge cuts for cabinets when adding outlets in the island, a breeze.
