You can learn a thing or two about the different oscillating tool blade types here. While I have been using the blade it came with this whole time, I recently purchased some extra blades. If you own various DeWalt battery-operated tools as I do, having another battery is just the icing on the cake. No need to look for an extension cord every project. Really it’s like buying 3 tools in 1, without the hassle of needing tools to convert your tool.Īnd to add to the convenience, it’s entire battery operated. Need to do some sanding? Pop on the sanding attachment. Need to cut more than a small precise cut? Switch it out with a wide blade. But what really sets this tool apart is the attachments. Being able to cut wood, drywall, metal, even tile at the craziest angles precisely by itself is amazing. Now that I own this DeWalt oscillating tool, I consider it a must-have for anyone that tackles DIY projects. It’ll save me a ton of time pulling each nail out and having to wood putty it. Solution? Pull it away from the wall about an inch and cut off the nails with the oscillating tool. And yes, it was installed by massive 3-inch nails. What I plan on doing next is repainting my trim.

You got a heavy-duty portable sander in less than 15 seconds.įor bigger sanding projects, though, I would definitely recommend a corded sander, like the DeWalt palm sander that I recently purchased. Switch out the attachment with a simple squeeze, snap on the sander attachment, and voila. While a circular saw would have been faster, this was the only tool I had on me, and while not as fast, it was very precise!Īnother use when the DeWalt oscillating tool comes in handy is for quick sanding. One of them was cutting an entire doorway out of a drywall wall, including the 2×4’s inside. Since then I’ve used this tool for various applications. And man it felt good! No frustrating “if I had the right tool” thoughts, just breezing right through. It took me roughly 30 minutes to do the entire 400 square foot room. So I decided to trim the bottom 3 inches of all the wall paneling. The wall paneling in our basement had some rot from a previous flood. After all, I love all the DeWalt tools I have, and I rather spend a bit more to have a tool that will last me a lifetime, than having to replace the same tool over and over.Īs soon as I received the tool in the mail I put it to work. So I pulled out my phone, did some research, and finally decided to buy the DeWalt oscillating tool kit. That’s when my friend said, “you need an oscillating tool for that”. It took well over an hour, and I broke a reciprocating saw blade, jigsaw blade, and a doorknob drillbit in the process. I pulled out my toolbox and managed to get it done. It required cutting a 4×4 post right where it meets the bottom of a deck. One day I wanted to tackle a new project. For years, I had never even heard of an oscillating tool. Let’s face it, once you purchase your first home, you’ll have to pull up your sleeves and DIY most of the projects that occur. Variable speed trigger allows 0 to 20,000 opm (oscillating rounds per minute) More expensive than other oscillating toolsĭeWalt 20v MAX XR Oscillating Tool Kit In the box.
