## Description

This 20V MAX* XR 3-Speed Cordless Oscillating Multi Tool Kit provides up to 57% more runtime than similar brushed power tools because of its powerful brushless motor. The Quick-Change accessory system allows you to change blades quickly and easily, and with the universal accessory adaptor, it's compatible with most oscillating tool accessories. The DUAL-GRIP variable-speed trigger and 3-speed selector provide ultimate speed and application control, and the bright LED illuminates dark workspaces. Common applications include drywall tools, detail sander, laminate floor cutter and floor sander. This kit includes a universal accessory adaptor, two blades, battery, charger, and kit bag.

Review: Strong, precise, and doesn’t vibrate your hand numb - This oscillating tool hits that sweet spot between power and control. I’ve used cheaper multi-tools that feel like they’re fighting you the whole time—this one doesn’t. The brushless motor has plenty of power for cutting, sanding, and flush work, and it keeps a consistent speed under load. The 3-speed selector is actually useful, not just a gimmick. Lower speed gives you control for detail work, and the higher settings chew through wood, drywall, and even nails without bogging down. The quick-change blade system is solid—no tools needed, and it locks in tight with no wobble. Big standout is vibration control. You can run this thing longer without your hand going numb, which matters if you’re doing trim cuts or demo work. LED light is also clutch in tight or dark spaces—way more useful than I expected. Battery life with the included 20V MAX pack is solid. Not endless, but more than enough for typical jobs, and it charges fast enough to keep you moving. Pros: •Strong, consistent power (doesn’t stall easily) •Noticeably lower vibration than cheaper tools •3-speed control actually makes a difference •Quick, secure blade changes •Built-in LED is genuinely useful Cons: •Blade changes are tool-free but still take a second to get used to •Included battery is decent, but heavy users may want a larger one Bottom line: If you want a cordless oscillating tool that feels controlled instead of chaotic, this one delivers. It’s built for real work, not just light DIY.
Review: 4.5 stars if you can get on a decent sale - Too long, didn't read section: It's a jack of all trades and a master at doing plunge cuts while minimizing cutting into things behind what you're cutting out. Blades/accessories tend to be more expensive vs. other types of tools. Be sure to wear hearing protection. 11/4/2025 Update: It has come in quite handy. I'm currently working to replace some rotted areas near the roof of my porch. It was able to make cuts to remove some damaged sections of 1x8, that I couldn't do with my reciprocating saw (though i did use my reciprocating saw to deal with cutting nails.) I found having some "long" blades (long as in distance from the cutting teeth the the pivot point/connector plate) such as the Arrow OSC125JPT-2A (found on desertcart) really helped out. I do give the blade a break when it starts getting hot. Being fairly lightweight makes using it over your head pretty easy. As expected, the included 1.5 Ah battery doesn't last terribly long. If you plan to do a lot of work in a session, I would recommend getting a second battery if you don't already have a spare as waiting an hour or more for a recharge in the middle of a project gets old quick. As I mentioned in the main review section, there's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you can make some fairly straight cuts with it. Cuts reasonably fast when cutting material less than an inch thick. Original: At the time of this review, it was cheaper to buy it in a kit than by itself. I mainly got this oscillating tool as it gives the ability to plunge cut into things while minimizing cutting into material behind what I'm indenting to cut. Overall, the quality feels reasonably good. I did find that the 12 O clock blade position was a little off on mine, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Changing blades and blade compatibility: The quick change blade mechanism makes blade changes quicker and easier than most other oscillating tools on the market as the retaining bolt does not need to be removed. The blade can also be positioned at multiple angles across one axis. I should mention that while it's compatible with most oscillating tool blades/accessories out there, blade/accessory compatibility is not quite as standardized/universal such as blades for reciprocating saws. There's an adapter included for some that are not compatible with the normal mechanism, but you loose quick change functionality and you also need a 5mm Allen/hex key that's not included. Most blades/accessories advertised as universal fit should work with this tool without the need of an adapter. Info about blades: Blades and other accessories for multi-tools tend to be a bit more expensive than other types of tools out there if you want something above the bargain bin blades/accessories. Based on my research, they also tend to have a shorter lifespan vs. blades/accessories for other types of tools. The kit includes a HCS (high carbon steel) blade for cutting softer materials such as wood and plastic and a bi-metal blade that can tolerate some soft nails, but it will likely quickly start the dull the blade after going though a few nails. If you think you'll frequency be going thru nails or even worse hardened deck or drywall screws, there's carbide blades out there that should survive for longer, but if you're able to cut though a nail/screw using a reciprocating saw or angle grinder, you oscillating tool cutting blades and wallet will thank you. Using the tool to cut: As for performing cutting in wood, I found that it's not bad in terms of vibration and gloves can provide vibration dampening for your hands. Cutting does generate a good deal of noise, so hearing protection is a must. For cutting technique, you want to let the tool do the work, don't try to force it as that can lead to burning the material being cut and also results in heating up the blade more, which will likely shorten its cutting life. You want sweep back and fourth with a light touch. If there's no risk of hitting nails, the blades Japanese style cutting teeth supposedly do a better cutting job for wood. I have some on order and will probably provide an update when they arrive. What the tool excels at: This excels when it comes to making plunge cuts into things while minimizing cutting into things behind what you're cutting out. There's also a optional depth guide that can be purchased to further mitigate cutting material you're trying to avoid cutting into. I feel safer using this to cutting into a wall vs. a reciprocating saw as there's less chance I'll damage something behind the drywall such as a pipe or wire. Choosing the best tool for the job: You can also do things such as sanding or doing a cross cut on a 2x4, but you're likely better off using a mouse sander for sanding and a miter or circular saw will by far provide a faster and straighter cut and the blades on both saws will almost certainly last eons longer than even a set of top notch oscillating tool blades. What I'm saying is just because it can be done be done with an oscillating tool, doesn't mean it should be done on a regular basis if you have a better tool at your disposal for a particular job. Cost cutting that was done: The only things that costs were really cut on are the battery and charger. The included battery is the lowest end offered by DeWalt, a 1.5 Ah battery that has no LEDs for checking charge level. The included charger appears to have a mac charging current output of 1.25 amps. I would have liked to see a 2Ah battery. Conclusion: It's a decent tool with a variety of uses. It can do a variety of cutting of tasks in a pinch, but this won't outshine a circular/miter/reciprocating saw in terms of blade costs and results at tasks those tools are designed for in most cases. I'm rating this 4.5 stars as I was able to get it at a good price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why supply such a lousy battery?  It should be at least 2ah and should include the battery meter!**
A: This battery isn't terrible. I am a 30+ yr professional electrician. 10 years ago when the tools were all brushed and used considerable more power 3.0 amp hour was as big as it got. I have 2-1.5 amp hour batteries that have thousands of hours on them with impacts, heavy duty hammer drills, bandsaw, sds drills, circular saws, sanders, etc. I get about 30-45 minutes hardcore drilling in concrete. I have even went through ½" cast steel with a 6" hole saw although that is usually around a 3.0 amp hour. Yes, the batteries are expensive but in the trades world there are really only 2 competitors Dewalt and Milwaukee. There are other brands of battery tools but you just don't see them being used much by pros. If ya want something for home use maybe you'd be better off with a ryobi that is much more affordable.

**Q: Will this battery dcb203 work for this**
A: Yes it will however the battery has only 1.5 amp so for short charge life.

**Q: What is the difference between the part numbers. Dcs355c1 and Dcs356c1**
A: The DCS356C1 is 11.2 inches long and 4 inches high weighing 2.33 lbs. The DCS355C1 is 14 inches long and 9.75 inches high weighing 5 lbs.

**Q: How to modifier it to use for 220v?**
A: The voltage of the charger is 120V.  This tool is only designed to work with 120V not 220V or 240V.  We do not recommend using an adapter or transformer to force it to work at that voltage.
