Our take on the DEWALT DCS356B Oscillating Multi-Tool

The DeWalt DCS356B is a 20V MAX cordless oscillating multi-tool built around a brushless motor. It runs at three speed settings — 0-13,000, 0-17,000 and 0-20,000 OPM — with a dual-grip variable-speed trigger, a tool-free quick-change accessory system and an LED light. It is sold as a bare tool, so a 20V MAX battery and charger are needed separately. It suits trim carpenters, remodelers and DIYers already on DeWalt's 20V platform who want fast blade changes and long runtime in tight spots. Against rival cordless multi-tools it stands out for its brushless motor, three speed ranges and universal accessory adapter; owners rate it highly, with complaints mostly about the bare-tool packaging and the learning curve of the trigger.

About the DEWALT DCS356B Oscillating Multi-Tool

The DEWALT DCS356B is a 20V MAX cordless oscillating multi-tool with a brushless motor. The motor provides up to 57% more runtime than a similar brushed tool. It is sold as a bare tool, so the battery and charger are not included.

A 3-speed selector sets the oscillation speed for the job, and the dual-grip variable-speed trigger controls speed during use. A bright LED lights dark work surfaces. The quick-change system swaps blades and attachments without wrenches.

The included universal accessory adapter fits most oscillating tool accessory brands. The kit comes with two wood cutting blades.
