DEWALT20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Tool Cordless, Variable Speed Brushless Motor Multitool with LED Light, Extended Runtime, Includes Two Wood Cutting Blades, Tool Only (DCS356B)

I bought this reciprocating saw to replace an old corded saw from Harbor Freight. Now lest anyone think I'm criticizing HF, I'm absolutely not. That old saw was cheap and it did a lot of cutting for for several years. It was a great choice when I had to conserve cash.BUT, this DeWalt saw is sooo much better. I love the cordless feature, and since I have a few DeWalt tools and batteries, it is very convenient.I used this while doing a vinyl plank floor installation in my son's home. We had to cut back the molding around a number of doors. In that application, where we moved several feet from one door to the next, not needing to move an extension cord or have it cluttering our work area between cuts was a big asset. Secondly, this saw makes changing blades far easier than the cap screw system on the old saw. You just press a quick release lever and the blade is lose, but it never once came loose when I didn't want it to. I cannot say either of those for the HF saw. Finally, this saw has a lot more power than my HF corded saw. It cuts much faster. All in all, the HF saw was a great deal on a tight budget, but this is a great saw. I'm happy to recommend it.

The oscillating tool is one of the best inventions in my lifetime. It is versertle and adaptable. Dewalt makes great tools and this one is exception.

This "DEWALT 20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Tool, Variable Speed, Tool Only (DCS356B)" is an excellent tool that you'll find more and more uses for as you go. I use it mainly for making any kind of straight-in cut on a flush surface that would be much trickier for most other kinds of saws (e.g. making a cutout in drywall for an outlet box, or separating apart a wooden stringer glued to plywood without damaging the stringer or the plywood), and also, for sanding in tight corners (with a little triangular sanding adapter I purchased that fits the excellent quick attach mount on this tool). The more I use it, the more I find myself reaching for it on the next project. It's simple and it works great. The battery seems to last plenty long for most the tasks I can imagine using this for (it's not a "high volume" sanding or cutting tool, but for the specialized tasks it does so well, it's perfect).One quibble: It is LOUD, with a very pronounced whine. This is inevitable with the high speed vibration/oscillation it depends on to function, but you will not want to use this at early/late hours when your neighbors are sleeping. Think of a gas-powered weed whip. Not as deep "throaty" of a sound as those revving engines may have, but a similar whine in pitch and volume. If you're going to use it for more than a moment, it's probably smart to don hearing protection, though I don't actually find the volume level painful. It's on par with a high speed random orbital sander, but a little sharper and more pronounced in its whine. Okay, enough said. Now you know.As oscillating multi tools go, this one seems well-built, effective, and ideal for someone who is already invested in the DeWalt 20V Max line of tools like I am. Highly recommended!

This is one of the best power tools I have ever used. It is not extremely light weight, but it isn't heavy. It has made my job a lot easier. It has been dropped and didn't slow it down one bit. I believe you get what you pay for, and this was worth every penny. The noise level is a bit loud, so I use headphones. It is precise and will be using it for a long time.

I let it work for 1 hr none stop.It still working.It is hot thought but my hand is hot too..

The product is very good. No question about.The delivery was very long - almost one month and it came without box.Just wrapped in plastic, which is strange.Never received the devault tools packed this way.

Great Tool great price

This tool makes wonders to work with drywall. I don’t have to be with a small saw or an uneven with a hammer with this tool is easier and faster. Definitely a game changer
