DEWALT 20V MAX XR Oscillating Tool Kit, 3 Speed, With Blades, Battery and Charger Included (DCS356C1)

I’m all in on the DeWalt 20V MAX XR line of battery-operated tools—I’ve got both the Oscillating Tool (DCS356C1) and the Cordless Drill/Driver (DCS356C1), and I can’t recommend them enough.These are pro-grade performers through and through, with battery life that keeps up and power that tackles just about any DIY home project I’ve thrown their way.The catch? Replacement batteries aren’t cheap. That said, they hold a charge like champs and deliver more than enough juice for the job, so I can’t complain too much. My one nitpick is the weight—both tools, especially the drill, are a touch heavier than I’d hoped. But honestly? It’s not a dealbreaker. The brushless motors, crisp controls, and overall build quality blow every other cordless tool I’ve used out of the water. No stars off here—these are worth every penny.

Several years ago, I purchased a very inexpensive off-brand tool and used it only occasionally. Well, on this last project, we needed to use it quite a bit and it just didn't hold up (batteries died quickly, power was inadequate, etc.). So, we purchased the Dewalt (since all my other 20V tools are Dewalt). This stands up to the Dewalt reputation. It held up for the rest of the job. We were cutting through old work wall board (much tougher than newer drywall). I know some might argue Team Red tools are better - my experience is the both are solid, reliable, and long-lasting. Just when you pick one set of batteries, it makes sense to stay the course.

Handy tool that works great. Switching blades is super easy. The three speeds are nice and it's easy to use. Overall value was excellent since it came with the battery and charger.

My old no-brand name oscillating tool died mid project and while shopping I found this one that fits right into my current DeWalt tool collection with the bonus of using the same battery. The tool is well balanced, powerful and is designed to be used one handed. I found that the LED head lights make it easy to see and therefore, make more accurate cuts.

Many of the oscillating multitools require a chuck to change blades. Less reliable more expensive alternatives don’t include the battery, or charger, or bag! I really wanted to stay with current brand tools (traditionally cheaper) but this was a much better tool for less. This dewalt tool has a quick release lever to release the blade. Additionally, this design holds the blade tightly and won’t strip the pins that secure the blade which has happened in previous corded and battery brands I have used. It’s ready to go (charge it) out of the box-portable and versatile where you need it without the extension cord. I have used it to trim aluminum, cut outs for electrical and other custom fit type cuts, detail sanding, easily cut through framing nails, remove exterior gooey caulk. Trim tile. With the right blades, you can do anything.

Works well. Good product for the money.There was a downside that happened to me. It was my own fault I will admit because I accidently installed a scraper blade upside down and started using the tool. This caused the blade to contact the front edge of the release lever hinge. I caught my mistake befor it ruined the unit completely. Over all a great quality tool.

This is a great tool that works well especially being cordless. Battery life is good and lasts for several jobs.

One of those things that you're not sure you really need until you really need it! You won't use it every day, but I've used it a lot more than I thought I would. DeWalt tough and DeWalt battery flexibility make for a welcome addition to my toolbox.
