DEWALT DCS356D1 Brushless 3-Speed Oscillating Kit (Open Box)

I’ve seen countless YouTube videos raving about oscillating saws, but I always thought they were one of those “nice-to-have” tools rather than a necessity. That all changed when I had to cut baseboard for a project—suddenly, I understood the hype. The DeWalt Oscillating Saw isn’t just useful; it’s an absolute game-changer. From precision cuts to tackling tough jobs in tight spaces, this tool has quickly become one of my go-to favorites in the workshop. Versatility & Power in One Tool The range of things this saw can do is incredible. Woodworking, metal cutting, plumbing, trimming baseboards, removing nails—you name it. It’s especially great for jobs where a regular saw just won’t fit. The power is excellent, and the variable speed trigger gives you a ton of control, making it easy to get smooth, precise cuts without overdoing it. It’s also comfortable to hold, with a solid grip that doesn’t cause fatigue during longer jobs. The Only Drawback—Blade Compatibility If there’s one minor complaint, it’s that not all blades are universal. When I went to Lowe’s to grab some replacements, I realized that many other brands didn’t fit because they had one too many teeth for DeWalt’s mounting system. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it does mean you’ll likely need to stick with DeWalt-branded blades, which might not always be the cheapest option. Final Thoughts—Don’t Wait Like I Did! I wish I had bought this years ago. It’s one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you use it, and then you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it. Whether you’re a DIYer or a pro, this is a tool that earns its keep. Highly recommend!
