AVID POWER Oscillating Saw Review: Right for Us?
We’ve been looking for a multi-tool that can handle the “small but stubborn” jobs—trimming a door edge, scraping off old caulk, sanding a tight corner—without turning the garage into a full workshop. The AVID POWER Oscillating Tool steps into that role with a lively 22,000 OPM top speed and a 3° oscillation angle that feels precise when we’re working close to finished surfaces. What surprised us most was how quickly the included 11 accessories got us moving from cutting to sanding to scraping without hunting for extra parts. The universal interface also gave us confidence we won’t be locked into one accessory ecosystem. Still, we wanted to see how it holds up beyond a quick weekend fix.

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. The Atomic profile keeps it feeling controlled, and the cordless setup lets us move from bench to doorway without hunting for an outlet. The real question: does it earn a permanent hook on our wall?
