Dewalt 20v Max* Xr Cordless Oscillating Multi
Still, if you prefer the freedom to use your oscillating tool wherever you’d like, this is the best choice for your needs. Corded oscillating tools are the most common, as they have enough oomph to get the job done without fear of running out of juice early. If you tend to use your oscillating tool for lengthy sessions, such as while removing grout, or turn to it frequently while working on DIY or hobby projects, this is the best choice for you. The brushless motor can go from 0 to 20,000 opm in under a minute.
Use any of our closed anchor blades on your Porter-Cable, Black & Decker, Bolt-On, FatMax or DeWalt Oscillating tool. This adapter fits over the bottom of your tool and uses a screw to secure the blades. When it comes to power the DWE315 matches dewalt accessories the Bosch MX30E and beats out the FEIN MultiMaster. The only multi-tool on the market with a larger motor would be the FEIN SuperCut which boasts a 400W motor (somewhere between 3.5 and 4 amps) and that tools is 4 to 5 times more expensive!
Like we mentioned before, DeWalt’s accessory changes are really fast. The Quick-Change system uses a pretty stout spring to push down the blade clamp and hold accessories in place. You push it up with dewalt tools two fingers to expose the interface and set your blade in place before release the clamp to hold it. Many cordless tools have a lock-on or lock-off switch and DeWalt actually combines the two.
While speed is ultimately a result of the motor’s power, the amperage rating indicates the tool’s robustness. The motor’s components are more heavy-duty with a higher amperage; this means that it can withstand intense working conditions longer without breaking down. Look for tools with 4 or 5 amps, which are better suited for tougher materials.
It isn’t that loud, more of a digital noise that their other Dewalt brushless tools though. It is a pain trying to find attachments unless you have the adapter with you. So if you use it on jobs or for a living buy dewalt blades and attachments cause you will lot find them at homedepot dewalt accessories or lowes. I wanted to a cordless model, so I decided to buy the DeWalt, the #1 Best Seller seller on Amazon.com, with a 90% five-star rating. The version I bought is the DEWALT DCS355D1 20V XR Lithium-Ion Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit which came with a bag and a bunch of accessories.
