DEWALT DCS354B Oscillating Saw Review: Our Shop Fit?

In our quest for a compact, grab-and-go multitool, the DEWALT Atomic 20V MAX* Oscillating Tool (DCS354B) landed on our bench with the promise of big capability in a small frame. This is the tool-only version, so it’s clearly aimed at shops like ours that already live in the 20V ecosystem and just want another nimble cutter in the lineup. We put it through the usual small-job gauntlet—flush cuts, trim tweaks, and tight-corner touchups—where an oscillating tool either feels surgical or sloppy.

GALAX PRO Oscillating Multi-Tool Review: Our Shop?

On our bench this week: the GALAX PRO 3.5A 6 Variable Speed Oscillating Multi Tool Kit, a compact workhorse that promises to replace a drawer full of specialized tools.

In our shop, the Milwaukee 2626-20 M18 oscillating multi-tool quickly proved it’s more than a “nice-to-have” gadget. With up to 18,000 OPM, it hums through a surprising range of tasks—flush cuts in trim, quick notches in plywood, and those awkward, corner-hugging jobs that usually demand three different tools. We appreciated that Milwaukee includes woodcutting blades and a sanding pad with sheets, letting us jump straight into real work without a separate accessory run. The cordless layout keeps our bench area uncluttered, and the tool feels ready for jobsite abuse. Since it’s sold as a power-tool-only kit, we treated it as a smart add-on for anyone already running M18 batteries.
