Dewalt Xr 20 Volt Cordless Oscillating Multi
It works well in corners and close quarters as a sander, saw, powerful scraper, and detailed grout remover. Best of all, these tools are ideal for flush-cuts or working at awkward angles without too much fuss and bother. About time someone includes a box for the accessories/consumables.
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 Hand tools 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.
Unique exterior tool access design means you can reach most all of the tools without having to open the multi tool and expose the pliers, saving you time and hassle. The multi-tool has long been a staple in my arsenal but this brushless Dewalt model takes it up a notch. The 20V oscillating multi-tool has a powerful brushless motor providing up to 57% more run time over a similar brushed tool.
This list updates each time you open it based on the criteria selected. I have purchased 2 other oscillating saws which both have failed for the same reason. The first situation the pins sheared off which held the blades. If you’re already in the DeWalt 20V system, check out the bare tool dewalt accessories on the Home Depot website for 139, comes with free 4.0 Ah battery. I should add the dewalt is a lot lighter and has a trigger instead of on of switch. If you want the kit with a higher capacity battery and a larger assortment of accessories, consider the DCS355D1, priced at $139.
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 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.
