DeWALT 20V MAX Oscillating Multi Tool UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! *Buyer Beware*

DeWALT 20V MAX Oscillating Multi Tool UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! *Buyer Beware*

Dewalt just released a brand new 20V max oscillating multi tool for their atomic line up of tools, but something is not right about it. We give you the utterly ridiculous truth about the new tool from Dewalt. Buyer Beware. Makes sure to share this video with your friends and family so they don't get fooled!

Outstanding homework you did for us. I appreciate you guys putting in the OT for us. Anywhere I can save some beans is a win. Keep it up and love the videos!

6:30 for those that want to get right to the point

[AndyBeeApy]

A brilliant example of why get to the point when you can babble on forever!!!

[harryhino]

Suffered through the first 3 mins of this vid and gave up watching. Just get on with it will

I've had this Dewalt for three years and I love it. Get's me out of tricky situations all the time.

[OzziePara]

My God man, just get to the Almost three minutes into the video and I still didn't get your message about this tool. Thumbs down!!!!

I have the XR.. awesome tool! My buddy has the M18 and it does feel like the Milwaukee has a little less vibration in the handle where as the DeWalt vibrates like crazy.. but overall, the XR is one helluva tool. I purchased my XR oscillating tool during a sale and got the complete kit with battery and charger for $99

I just bought one a few weeks back and remember wondering what the difference was. The atomic can run on certain lower amp batteries that the Xr cant. That's my understanding and explains the price variance.

I bought the XR 3 tool kit from lowes just now online, picking it up in the am when I get material for a job….
XR multi tool, Jigsaw, and Sander
4.0 battery
Charger
And large bag to carry

Personally just bought the Atomic version because thats what was in stock at my local Depot🤷‍♂️ I used a co workers XR version and I didn't experience any differences. Just a weird move by Dewalt. BTW the Dremel 1.5 inch carbide blades are top notch

[bingo]

There’s a very good reason for this, the existing xr model is being phased out hence the price reduction ! It’s being replaced by an even more powerful model and will run alongside the less powerful atomic version

I agree with the research, the DeWalt nomenclature can be fairly misleading at times. I find that by looking at the model number, you can usually differentiate which item is a "step up". Ex: DCS355B(20V MAX XR) vs DCS354B(20V MAX ATOMIC) Since 355 is one number up from the 354 it would be considered "better", generally speaking. I've found this to be true across most of their tool lines. However, sometimes that step up isn't necessarily worth the price difference. Take the DWS779($350) and DWS780($500) for example. Same saw, same motor, same everything minus the kerf light. Would you be willing to spend $150 on an LED light that shines down over your blade?

I got the dewalt xr brushless oscillating tool last year for one job, and its so good, i havent put it down yet, i have cut timber with it with a wide blade, cut steel with it, cut nails out of framework with it when i have been altering my shed

I have cut mortar out from between bricks with it when re pointing the house, cut board with it, cut plastic electrical conduit with it

The only time i put it down for more than a day was when i bought the xr brushless reciprocating saw 😂

Its a go to tool, it sees as much work as my impact driver 😁

Im really into the dewalt xr 18 volt power tool range, im gonna buy more, i dont know whether to get the brushless jigsaw or a circular next

I have a dewalt 240 volt jigsaw at the moment, so probably the circular 🤔

I just got the fUll XR kit with battery, charger, and bag today for Christmas from my awesome wife. I can’t wait to use it for real. There’s a lot of work waiting for it. The only thing I’m going to have to remember is to lock that trigger when changing blades. It seems really easy to forget and accidentally squeeze the forward rocker switch during a blade change, risking fingers. I know, I know, always remove the battery/unplug a tool when charging blades or bits. No lectures required, please.

GO XR All The Way!!! I just picked up the Dewalt DCS356C1 "Kit", DCS356 20v MAX XR, 1.5AH 20v MAX batt. and charger, 2 blades and a universal adapter. $99.00 . Atomic sounds like a "Special Shipment" kind of thing, I am pretty certain I learned at least partly from you to look out for these things. Amazing agility with this thing, 3 speeds and variable trigger, its been on my list a long time but DIY as opposed to Pro so i have to be patient. I was actually going to break the bubble on a 20v MAX XR Jigsaw and walked past the Oscillating Tool kilt for $99.00. Yep, they saw me coming ... and yes they had a blade kit next to it for another 25 ... lol.

I got the xr brushless kit with bag, battery and charger for 99.99 plus tax at Lowes during Christmas.

[deanpeterson]

I agree, I have a corded Fien and this thing out performs it. WHO KNEW!?! I bought the DeWalt because I needed a cordless for a job and right away I was impressed in the first minute of use.

[fk]

I noticed the same thing.. My take on it is DeWalt is possibly phasing out certain XR tools and rebranding them as the Atomic line.. They are making some changes to certain tools while other tools will remain virtually untouched. Hence the drop on price on the old model

[ricardovarajr]

I bought the atomic oscillating kit for $99 on Black Friday. I want the XR just to have it and compare. Can never have to many.

[fischervictorl]

I bought the atomic at home depot because they had a deal that when you buy the tool you get a free battery. It was worth $129 to get a $149 battery for free.
