Powerful and comfortable feel

I originally was considering the corded model. Then I saw the great reviews of the Li-ion Dewalt so I went for it. This model does provide adequate use time on a charge. I would recommend having a second battery that can be charged while the other is in use to provide extended work time for larger project. I have other Dewalt 20 V XR tools so I did not need to purchase the extra battery. Charge time is impressively short, so two batteries would do. This tool is really easy to grip and maneuver. It is well balanced and not too heavy. The LED head lamp is a nice feature and one of the reasons I bought the Dewalt. The quick change blade holder is really nice. I had another brand that required an allen wrench to swap out blades What a pain that was. And the blades would always vibrate loose. The Dewalt was a breath of fresh air. I like the portability and convenience of "no cord". Just pick up the tool and use it. The Dewalt is not among the cheapest, but features, reputation and the power of the 20V XR system makes this the best overall choice.

OUTSTANDING UNIT !! ( BUT ) recommended hook and loop pads sold right next to unit on amazon are too small BEWARE

this thing is awesome especially with the 60 volt 90ah battery it is like a belt sander we use it daily as painters it has cut my workload in half my biggest complaint is that the hook and loop sandpaper packs they sell are almost 1/4 inch too small for the actual sanding disc that they are to be applied too this really made me mad after ordering 25 12 packs of them for work we opened all of them up not ever thinking that they do not fit the unit we always place our sanding papers in an organized box filed by grit now I am stuck trying to figure out how to find exact size paper we have gone thru the tiny pack they give you and the harbor freight pads are garbage as always not good at all for more than 2 minutes actual work before all grit has fallen off

Great Tool, powerful and easy to lock and load

Works well, it's lighter than my corded version and while less powerful, for the task the the lack of the cord it was powerful enough. The battery seems to last a good long time, if you plan on using it a lot, get 2 batteries, as the recharge cycle will take awhile. Get the recharging station. I used the grout removal tool, The lever is open when pulled on and locks on release, very secure lock. better than the Borsch lock if you use non deWalt blades. The bag is heavy duty and a tough zipper, unlikely yo crap out, and if does, the handles will close the bag well enough.Oh and if you do remove grout, get the round and spade version, and offset it to the angle your need.

Just having a ball with this product!

I am definatly a tool junkie and love well built, well engineered tools. I am a Dewalt, Portercable, Milwaukee, Mikita kind of guy. I am rebuilding this 1960's house and most of the time the Sawzall will do the heavy lifting but as you know it does not cut flat stuff, you have to be at a right angle to it. I needed to cut some holes in sheetrock for new light switches, cut off some siding nails underneath lap siding without disturbing the row above it and various other types of work. This product did exactly what I was hoping for. I am so glad I bought it and will be finding many more uses for it I am certain as I learn more about the blades. It share the same batteries as my Dewalt torque driver and drill so that is a bonus. Love the nice bag that keeps all your stuff in one spot. It handles great compared to the other multitools that I looked at. I am not a contractor but a DIY kind of guy and this fits all my needs. Great tool to have around when you need it.

A versatile tool. Everyone should own one!

When I first started seeing oscillating tool advertisements popup, they were nothing more than vibratory sanders that could get into tight corners. After I started replacing my old lower voltage cordless and corded tools last year with Dewalt 20V Max equivalents, I ran across the DCS355. Still not convinced I needed one, I did some research. First, I looked at all the available accessories that Dewalt offered. I was impressed with all the different cutting and sanding tools, and the things you could do with them. Then I went on to watch a few videos which immediately hooked me on this Dewalt Oscillating tool. I opted for the DCS355 kit as I was still accumulating batteries and bags for my 20V Max collection. And I really wanted that little guide roller, along with the blade box. Both of which are not included with the bare tool and I couldn't find available anywhere (I now know that you can get both at eReplacementParts for about $11 each). Aside from the kit, I also set out to own at least one each of all the available accessories. A bit costly, but worth the investment. I have used at least 75% of the acquired accessories in real world situations. Worth every penny when you know the solution to a problem is in that Dewalt bag. The DSC355 is simple to use and operate. It has a trigger switch mid handle that activates the motor and front facing LED light when depressed. A button above the switch can be used to lock out the trigger and also lock the trigger in the on position for longer projects. A slight tap of the trigger releases the locked-on state and stops the tool. The front of the tool has a Quick Change lever to quickly change blades and accessories. Simply depress the lever and set or remove the blade/accessory into the pins located a full 360 degrees around the tool mount. Although you will only set blades in about a 270 degree range. So seven stops all together; West, North, East, and two positions between each of those. That's a lot of versatility when trying to make some difficult cuts. There is a location on either side of the battery base to mount a belt clip if desired. Once a blade or accessory has been installed, pull the trigger and off you go. Variable speed from 0-20,000 oscillations per minute. When I took the DCS355 out of the box and snapped in a battery, I still had my doubts about it's ability to cut through, say 3/4" pine. So I put it to the test. Whizzed right through without a whimper. You can keep those chisels in the drawer. Need to notch something out. The DCS355 will do it in a breeze. In the past six months I have used the tool to; cut out openings in drywall (using that handy accessory guide), cut copper and PVC pipe, cut away the grout in floor tiles, vibrate the tiles free, scrape off the remaining adhesive left behind on the floor, grind off adhesive on the backs of some needed tiles, notched out 1x2s mounted to a block wall, notched out molding, sanding away the orange peel on walls for several drywall patches (whole house replumb), cut away plastic dividers in a couple storage trays I customized. And that's all I can remember right now. I'm sure I missed a few. As a Dremel is to hobbyists and model making, the Dewalt DCS355 Oscillating tool is to home repair and renovation. A big boy toy. While the DCS355 bare tool is a bit more than $100, be prepared to spend another $100 to $200 for accessories (you do get a few essentials with the kit).. The last thing you want is a versatile tool, without the necessary accessory to complete a project when it needs to get done. Fifteen minutes into your frustration, you will wonder why you didn't plop down that $9.95 for the accessory that could have completed the task in under a minute. In fact, except for the sanding prep noted above, it hasn't taken me more than two minutes to pull the tool out of my bag, set an accessory, snap on a battery and finish the task at hand in about a minute. Another minute or two for put away. What's not to like about that. Note that several accessory kits are available, including tote boxes, for more blade storage options. Also note that all Dewalt accessories (I like to stick with Dewalt only) will work with the quick change tool mount, although some other brands may not. There is an adapter that comes with the tool for those non-Dewalt accessories. But I would recommend against anything, regardless of (perceived) cost savings, that will not snap in and out of this tool. But that's just me. Eight months ago if you had offered me a half-off coupon for an Oscillating tool, I would have told you to keep it. Now, you would have a hard time prying my DCS355 out of hands. I always admit (well almost) when I'm wrong. This is a keeper. You won't be disappointed.

The tool I never knew I needed and now can't live without

Up to this point, I've had designated tools for specific jobs. Need to cut a piece of plywood in half? Table saw. Need to shorten up a 2"x4"? Miter saw. But then I came across a task that I didn't have a tool for: cutting a window hole out of my shed's plywood sheathing. I made test cuts with a variety of tools, including a router and reciprocating saw, but none of them did the job that well (which may not necessarily be the tool's fault, but rather my lack of ability to wield it). Then I saw a YouTube video of one of these multitools, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Here's what I found. Performance: 8/10 My main concern with getting a battery-powered multitool (instead of the corded version (DEWALT DWE315K Multi Material Corded Oscillating Tool Kit), which I also considered) is that it wouldn't be able to handle certain jobs. While I haven't yet put it through all the paces, the experience that I've had is that this thing is a monster. It cut through 5/8" plywood, nails, and screws without hesitation. The one knock on the performance is that the battery life is fairly limited. I'd say I got about an hour of use out of it before I needed to swap out the battery. Frankly, this is still pretty good considering how powerful the tool is, but it's still a bit inconvenient. Features: 9/10 The first thing I noticed was how easy it is to swap out blades. One lever, boom, done. And the mechanism holds them in tightly, too, so no wobbling blades from what I've seen. You can even pop the blades in at various angles for those hard-to-reach places. The drawback to this easy blades switching is that you're limited to a certain kind of blade that will work with the tool: the ones with the end cut out. The blades with the circular holes won't work. But there's a pretty wide range of blades that are compatible with this tool, so it's not much to worry about. Another fantastic feature is the flashlight. Just pulling the trigger ever so slightly turns on the LED light, which is ridiculously helpful when working, even when it's not even dark outside. Most battery-powered Dewalt tools that I've seen have this feature. Finally, this particular set comes with a few extra blades and sandpaper. I haven't tried out the other blades just yet, but sanding with this tool is great. It's too small for situations where a large surface needs to be sanded, but for medium and small surfaces, this does the job nicely. And since this tool has such a low profile, it's very maneuverable, which makes sanding in corners pretty easy. Ease of Use: 9/10 There's really no learning curve to this thing. The blades can be swapped out with one press of a lever, and you're off to the races. As for cutting, there's a little bit of experimentation required to get the right angle, but after about 30 seconds of trying it out, it's pretty simple. It's also pretty comfortable. The grip fits in my hand well, and I was able to accurately cut from many different angles. Although, it is primarily a one-handed tool. There isn't really enough room to put another hand on it, unless you rest it on the battery. Overall: 9/10 A few weeks ago, I never even knew these multitools existed. It's now one of my favorites. It's great to be able to just grab this thing and get some work done without having to plug it in (which often times means firing up the generator in my case), and it's versatile enough to complete a wide array of tasks. Just don't let anyone borrow it, or it might not come back.

You will not be disappointed with this Dewalt Product... Work horse of a Power Tool

After spending hours comparing this to Bosch and Fein I went with Dewalt because most all my power tools are by Dewalt and (knock wood) have had nothing but great luck so far. This unit meets or beats expectations and I would recommend without hesitation. My first 20V and it does seem to hold a charge much better than 18V. This tool adds much versatility your arsenal of power tools and really can get aggressive cutting and sanding if you desire. Also, the variable speed trigger is a no brainer plus since it can be locked at any speed. My only possible con is I wish Dewalt would use a molded plastic case and not the bag. But the bag is sturdy. If you are on the fence I don't believe you will be disappointed with this Oscillating tool.

A surprising must-have!

Having received one of these as a birthday gift I wonder how I ever lived without it. I love this thing so much I bought this specific one as a gift for my Dad as a "Just because." This tool is more useful than you would think. I have seen them around for a few years but never imagined a use for one. The night I opened mine I happened to be hanging a door frame for my master bathroom and decided to try cutting a stud to fit. Several more flush cuts later this thing saved me an hour of running back and forth between the workshop and the project. I have used this saw many times for many projects and it just works. It direction of cut has ended an entire genre of frustrating weird-cut-scenarios in my life and is worth every penny twice over.

Great tool, can't afford not to have it in your toolbox!

We are putting down new floors in our entire house and replacing some drywall. As part of the upgrade we have to cut out the existing particle board underlayment in order to access the subfloor. This is perfect to cutting up to the edge of the wall, cuts through nails and screws to pull up underlayment easily, and scraps off the old linoleum with ease. It's also does a great job cutting drywall, especially near the inside corners. And the sanding attachment is a time saver when you want to sand in tightest spots. Love this tool, it's saved me so much time and effort during our upgrade.

What a versatile tool

Got this when I saw my contractor cut into the sheet rock like it was butter. I am converting all my tools to Dewalt 20V. I have now used this a couple of times where I can imagine what I would have done otherwise. For example, I installed some New Age cabinets in my garage that has molding along the floor. I needed the cabinet to fit snugly against the wall and needed to cut the molding in those spots. What other tool would be able to push in and cut the molding without removing the molding first. It worked great and took less than a minute per cut. The tool is light, powerful, and easy to control.
