DeWalt DCS356D1 Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit vs Ryobi One+ 18V Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool

Buy the DeWalt DCS356D1 if you want a brushless motor, a three-speed selector and a tool-free blade change for steady trade work. The Ryobi One+ 18V is the better pick for occasional home jobs if you already own Ryobi One+ batteries. The DeWalt has the stronger spec sheet and the larger owner base, but owners report noise, vibration and heat, and some kits arrive opened or used. The Ryobi is simpler and lighter on features, with a variable-speed dial, lock-on button and on-board hex key storage.

• Choose the DeWalt DCS356D1 if you cut and sand often, want brushless runtime and a wrench-free blade change, and already run DeWalt 20V MAX batteries.
• Choose the Ryobi One+ 18V if you are already in the One+ battery system and need a multi-tool for occasional trim, sanding and plunge cuts around the house.
