It's been the best so far but there are still issues
3/5

The amount of Multi-Platform software I have tested is over 8 So far, I have used the tools. One of the latest ones is DeWalt. The benefits are When the battery is removed, it is well balanced with and without. This slim tool is nice for tight spaces, is light in weight and has a quick change valve and lock on the The cons include It would have been better if the multispeed switch had been located in a better position, (major letdown), after extended use the handle gets extremely hot (TOO HOT to handle) even with gloves on, the internal temp is scorching. Stopping to let the body cool down is necessary. This means you have to use it on a ladder because there is no belt hook. In case DeWalt fixes the heat issue, then the product will get a much higher score. This design works great and has a great design. There is a lot of money to be made, but it would be worth more if something was done.

Adaptor plate and two blades included with the tool
5/5

It does come with one each of a bi-directional hammer and saw, so even though it says "tool only", it does This blade includes both metal and HCS, as well as an adaptor plate The blades of a DeWalt drill. My only regret is that I wish I had known that before I bought the blade kit. There was no need to buy any more DeWalt batteries since I already have a charger, drill and batteries. I made good use of the Also, one other consideration must be taken into account. As a result, DeWalt does not sell the depth guide separately, so you must purchase the three parts that make it. There are three N275350 block assemblies, two N275341 alloy rods, and a N278801 brass There is no shortage of Amazon's offerings.

The hook needs a nut, but there is none! It would be nice if DeWalt had a guide tool system and nut for the hook so that users could easily attach the attachment

Straight lines can be easily made with this tool You need to cut in tight spaces and sand in tight spots
5/5

DeWALT SYSTEMS 20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Voltage Drive" offers As you go along, you will discover more and more uses for the "Tool, Variable Speed, Tool Only (DCS356B)" as it is an excellent tool that is easy to use. Mostly, I use it to make all kinds of straight cuts Typical other saws would have difficulty making a flush cut on such a flat surface Creating holes in drywall for outlet boxes or separating wooden stringers glued to plywood without damaging them), as well as sanding in tight corners (with a little triangular sanding adapter I purchased that fits the excellent quick-attach mount). With every project I use it for, I find myself reaching for it again and again. It is simple and it works well. As I can imagine, the battery lasts for a long time with most of the tasks I can imagine using it for (it is not a "high volume" sanding or cutting tool, but for the specialized jobs it can do so well, it is ideal). There is one quibble, though As a result of the high speed vibration/oscillation depended on by its operation, it is LOUD and produces a very noticeable whine. Use it during the early or late hours when your neighbors are sleeping to avoid disturbing them. As if you were in a gas station This is a powered whip for weed. It does not have the deep, throaty sound those revving engines create, but instead resembles a low whine in volume and pitch. You probably want to wear hearing protection for longer periods of time if you plan to use it for extended periods of time, but the volume doesn't hurt my ears. This sander is like a high speed random orbital sander but has a sharper whine. That's enough for all of you to know now. I like this oscillating multitool. As far as oscillating tools go, it seems to have lots of useful features My experience with the DeWalt 20V Max line of tools led me to believe this tool is built, effective and the ideal choice for someone who already owns them. I highly recommend it!.

The oscillating tool guide system is not available from DEWALT
3/5

Despite how useful the DEWALT oscillating tool guide system is, neither the cut guide block nor the guide arm were included in the product description.

This tool is perfect when you need to work Mexico is the country of origin of this tool
4/5

It can be used to work in tight spaces. Mexico is the country of origin of this tool. There will be plenty of times when you have to saw something in a tight place. You have found the right tool for the job. * I am surprised at how easy it is to use. It is easy to operate the There was one thing that surprised me -- unlocking the saw blades required a lot of force. Even though I am capable of doing it, it's tough for me. these mechanisms is that you are not required to use any tools to change the blades. If I had to buy this tool again, I would. This product should have been made in the United States.

For demo work, this is an essential tool
5/5

DIY projects are one of my favorite things to do. Right now, I'm remodeling a kitchen. My old back splash tile had to be removed with this tool. It was essential for access to tight corners, between cabinets and the drywall, between counter tops and drywall. I own both a Jig Saw and a Recip Saw, but this is by far the most ideal tool. My drywall was so thick that I don't know how I would have torn it out The tool was the only tool that seemed to be able to do what needed to be done when the under cabinet lights needed to be installed and the cabinet overhang needed to be cut. This is an absolutely essential tool, worth every penny, if it were to break tomorrow, I would order another one without hesitation. By far the best tool out there!.
