Oscillating tool12/8/2023 Not only the DIYers but also the carpenters, mechanic or a handyman are fond of this versatile multipurpose oscillating tool. Highly Recommended.Five Stars.The oscillating tool is a quick fixture. It is just a supremely handy tool to have around.Superbly well designed and built, built to last. I understand when buying a multi tool or any bare unit youll likely have the manufacturer standard tool case for your additional units but even so, everyone likes a new case dont they!After the bathroom floors there are some socket cut outs to do, a tonne of sanding on the banisters and skirts, a load of small cuts here and there around the house. I will still use the grout rake in certain places right up against mixed surfaces such as porcelain toilet ware etc but that's just because i don't want to chip into the loo or the sink, but im being over cautious.* I haven't had any overheating, loss of power or most importantly something it cannot tackle.The Could be Better -* There really is very little to criticise about this, there isnt anything, the only thing that could make it better if there was the inclusion of some more blades, and also a carry case. So much time and effort reduced out of the job. I picked up a Tops Tools Set of Blades also from Amazon, they are easy to find, a quality manufacturer that has marked each of its blades for what type of use, a chart on the box and good price.* Operation is also a doddle, once the blade is locked in place there is a pressure responsive trigger so as you squeeze the trigger the power increases, you can also lock it out with the thumb of you same hand using a sliding switch to full power which will further save hand fatigue.* There is a light a the front of the unit activated by the trigger which is always super useful and lets you know what kind of ridiculous cut you've just made into something before it becomes a 3ft meandering disaster!* I have only used this so far for grout removal with a tungsten carbide blade as per the attached video, compared to the good old grout rake it just rips this out no problem whatsoever. But its so much more useful than just for that.The Good* I already have a Dewalt Drill and Jigsaw as well as a multitude of Dewalt gear purchased over the years so its a brand i trust, the added 2 year Guarantee you can register also comes in very handy.* The unit itself is the usual Dewalt build quality, its ergonomic in the hand, not overly top heavy once the battery is attached, the plastic is robust and the rubber insert on the handle grip gives some welcome comfort when in use.* The battery slots securely into place, there is a quick release tool press where you push down, add the blade of choice and that is it, its ready to do whatever your going to chop, sand etc.* It does come with a couple of blades but note that the majority of the tools on the listing are sandpaper, over 20 sheets of sandpaper, which is actually handy. Its not a lie, using a grout rake is laborious at the best of times. Given the price point on Amazon then its not an unreasonable option as i think doing so would save you some money from buying a full multi tool set.Anyway, i convinced the Household Finance Director this was required so that the bathroom floor could have some shiny new grout. If you are looking at this then as its a bare tool, there is no battery, youll either already have Dewalt tools or are possibly thinking of buying a separate battery and putting together your own set.
