The three speed selector and toolpath light are really nice touches as well. Pro Tool Reviews is a successful online publication that has been providing tool reviews and industry news since 2008. In today’s world of Internet news and online content, we found that more and more professionals researched a large majority of their major power tool purchases online. Despite other models having greater oscillation angles, DeWalt’s brushless motor was able to keep the speed high and work faster.
Their flexibility allows you to see what you’re doing and work comfortably. Just about every power tool company now offers an oscillating tool, and they each make branded blades.

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 dewalt tools about a tool like a fanboy but this is a very special tool.

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 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.

In one instance, the Dremel, we tested a previous version but haven’t gotten the new one in hand yet, so we’ll update that review with impressions once we do. The built-in LED light is a bonus and brighter than most cordless units. This makes working in cramped, dark spaces or in and around inner doorways easier. The unit comes with adapters that can work with other brands of oscillating tools. The large on and off switch is easy to manipulate when wearing bulky gloves, and the lock-on button ensures that the tool doesn’t inadvertently switch off in the middle of a job.
