Overview
DEWALT lists this as a twenty volt XR variable speed oscillating multi-tool, even though the category label says router. It is battery powered and sold as the tool only. The listing names cutting, sanding and grinding as the uses.
An oscillating tool cuts flush to a surface and sands in tight corners, which suits trim, plumbing and renovation tasks. Cordless power means no cord to get in the way. The bare tool offer excludes the battery and charger, and the accessory set is not listed.
Who it's for
A renovation or trim carpenter with existing batteries can add this as a flush-cutting and sanding tool. Shoppers wanting to cut edge profiles in wood should look at a router, which this tool is not.
Pros and cons
- Cordless and battery powered
- Variable speed control
- Light for one hand use
- Three year limited warranty
- Battery and charger not included
- Category label says router
- Accessory set not listed
Performance notes
An oscillating head moves the accessory in tiny arcs rather than spinning, so the tool cuts or sands close to a surface without plunging in. Speed control matches the setting to the material. Runtime depends on the battery you add.
