After 2 years of what I would call extreme use (multiple sessions fully draining a flexvolt 2/6 ah battery). I’m sold on the concept of a multi-tool in general, but this DeWalt came through with everything I wanted, and more. You will not be disappointed if you add this gem to your DIY tool arsenal. No complaints on the sanding, I slipped a piece of 120 grit on the hook-and-loop pa and went to town. I rounded the edges slightly, cleaned up my puttied nail holes, and gave the whole piece a once over, including the inner corners.
Another feature that I really like is the DUAL-GRIP™ Variable Speed Trigger. The long length of the trigger allows users to easily control the speed from many different hand/holding positions. One thing I’ve learned about multi-tools is you need to let the tool do dewalt tools the work. This also means putting the tool in a position that aligns best with the cut, which often times means having the tool at very strange and uncomfortable angles. The large, long switch really helps the user control the speed in all these unusual positions.
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.
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 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.
Recent advances in lithium-ion battery technology, however, have allowed manufacturers to offer comparable battery-powered options. Today, you can get both corded and cordless options, and each type has its perks. The DEWALT MT16 multi tool comes with a variety of tools to help you get the job done. Easy open and easy tool access make this versatile tool ready for anything that comes your way.
This handy kit includes 27 different blades and attachments for just about any oscillating tool function, including sanding, cutting, and scraping. The sturdy attachments have quick-release shanks so you can easily switch them when needed. They fit just about all major brands of oscillating tools, so whether you are starting from scratch, want to increase your tool selection, or just like having extras on hand, you’ll be covered. If a light-duty oscillating tool is all you need for your projects, the BD200MTB from BLACK+DECKER might work for you. This corded oscillating tool has a 2.5-amp motor and six adjustable speeds between 10,000 and 20,000 oscillations per minute. It comes with a wood/metal blade, as well as a sanding attachment, several sheets of sandpaper, and a carrying case.
