Our take on the DEWALT DCS356B 20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Tool

The DeWalt DCS356B is a bare-tool cordless oscillating multi-tool for cutting, scraping, grinding and sanding. Its brushless motor and three speed settings (13,000, 17,000 and 20,000 OPM) give it more runtime and control than the brushed DCS355 it replaces. The tool-free Quick-Change system and universal adapter accept most brands' blades, so it fits an existing kit. It ships without a battery or charger, so it only makes sense for someone already on the 20V MAX platform. Owners rate its power and low vibration; the main gripes are the bare-tool packaging and the cost of blades.

About the DEWALT DCS356B 20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Tool

The DEWALT DCS356B is a cordless 20V MAX XR oscillating multi-tool for cutting, grinding and sanding. It has a brushless motor. The brushless motor gives up to 57% more runtime than a comparable brushed model.

A three-speed selector sets the speed to 0-13,000, 0-17,000 or 0-20,000 OPM. The Dual-Grip variable-speed trigger controls the speed.
