Dewalt Multitool Dcs354 Stopped Working
I just want to let people know that this is not a variable speed tool. You may be able to control the speed with some magical power but I have now such thing at my disposal so i consider this a two speed tool, off and on. I sort of think the tool landed in the hands of the marketing dewalt Hand tools team at DeWalt and they said “hey look, when you pull the trigger a little it goes slower! ” It’s a fact that it’s speed changes depending on how much you pull the trigger but there is no way to control it unless you’re just sitting at a table somewhere holding it.
You can set up an extension cord and leave the tool plugged in, keeping it available anytime you need it. It just doesn’t cut as quickly as some of the other brands I have used. Don’t get me wrong, it works on everything I need it to do. But I absolutely love the quick change feature and all the blades it came with. It might be one of those tools I have for years and years, but I’m not too hopeful it will hold up that long.
If you’re looking for an oscillating tool that comes with almost everything you need to get started, check into the PCE605K52 from PORTER-CABLE. This corded oscillating tool has a 3-amp motor and features tool-less blade changes. It has a speed range between 10,000 and 22,000 oscillations per minute, making it one of the fastest oscillating tools on the market.
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.
Lastly, it’s priced considerably lower than the bare tool , which is typically priced at $139. So, you get the tool with a battery and charger, but for a price that’s less than for just the bare tool. First, you get a lower capacity compact battery – either 1.3Ah or 1.5Ah. No big deal, it gets you and up and cutting quick, but is still something to be mindful of. @Dan McCartneyWhen you press the trigger do you hear motor noise but no blade movement or nothing at all?
Designed with a tool guide system, this bare tool allows the user to customize the height and depth of application. The powerful brushless motor on this multi-tool boasts up to 57% more run time than similar tools with brushed motors. Users of this cordless dewalt tools multi-tool can easily swap out blades without the need for a wrench, thanks to the quick-change accessory system. A universal accessory adaptor included with this bare tool ensures that the DCS355B will work with most oscillating tool accessories .
