Outstanding homework you did for us. I appreciate you guys putting in the OT for us. Anywhere I can save some beans is a win. Keep it up and love the videos!
Thanks Jonny we appreciate it!
6:30 for those that want to get right to the point
Thanks.
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks a lot, is Utterly Ridiculous waiting all those minutes to get to that simple point.
thanks, chief
A brilliant example of why get to the point when you can babble on forever!!!
He fits it did he gets his "higher tier" money.mmm with TH-cam. I think it's 9-10 minutes with TH-cam.
Dude seriously
No shit
Suffered through the first 3 mins of this vid and gave up watching. Just get on with it will you!!!!!
@@TheSaw410 HUSH
Stop crying and have some patience
I've had this Dewalt for three years and I love it. Get's me out of tricky situations all the time.
Me Too, Its a beast
I have the same experience. I love this DW tool.
My God man, just get to the point..... Almost three minutes into the video and I still didn't get your message about this tool. Thumbs down!!!!
You know you can skip forward right?
Unfortunately typical of the channel, I’m unsubbing it’s like a bad soap opera that doesn’t get to the ending... there is some great content but it’s just too hard to watch...
I agree, Vince takes so long to get to the point, drives me nuts. His poor wife lol
@@rangi69 No.. please.. stay...
I start from the end of videos now,
Personally just bought the Atomic version because thats what was in stock at my local Depot🤷♂️ I used a co workers XR version and I didn't experience any differences. Just a weird move by Dewalt. BTW the Dremel 1.5 inch carbide blades are top notch
I have the XR.. awesome tool! My buddy has the M18 and it does feel like the Milwaukee has a little less vibration in the handle where as the DeWalt vibrates like crazy.. but overall, the XR is one helluva tool. I purchased my XR oscillating tool during a sale and got the complete kit with battery and charger for $99
@@martylucas8557 no I did not get any accessories, just the tool, one battery and a charger with a bag..
The newest model is the 56 3 speed which I bought when they came out for 99 bucks! Both the 54 Atomic and the 56 are the the replacements for the 55. I think the atomic 54 is possibly the same as the 55 but with a black release lever, but whatever the 56 is definitely my favorite in the DeWalt brand. Love the three speed!
Thanks for the feedback Trina !
Keep up the great videos with demonstrations , reviews and deals! Have a great night everyone!🧰🔧⛏🔨⚒⚙️🛠
I got the xr brushless kit with bag, battery and charger for 99.99 plus tax at Lowes during Christmas.
$99 + tax with 20v batery, charger & carry bag. Come with three oscillating blades. Renton city WA as of may 15th
I just bought one a few weeks back and remember wondering what the difference was. The atomic can run on certain lower amp batteries that the Xr cant. That's my understanding and explains the price variance.
I agree, I have a corded Fien and this thing out performs it. WHO KNEW!?! I bought the DeWalt because I needed a cordless for a job and right away I was impressed in the first minute of use.
I agree with the research, the DeWalt nomenclature can be fairly misleading at times. I find that by looking at the model number, you can usually differentiate which item is a "step up". Ex: DCS355B(20V MAX XR) vs DCS354B(20V MAX ATOMIC) Since 355 is one number up from the 354 it would be considered "better", generally speaking. I've found this to be true across most of their tool lines. However, sometimes that step up isn't necessarily worth the price difference. Take the DWS779($350) and DWS780($500) for example. Same saw, same motor, same everything minus the kerf light. Would you be willing to spend $150 on an LED light that shines down over your blade?
DeWalt doing strange things lately with big box stores that xr is a beast I mean Fein invented the oscillating tool but DeWalt perfected it with the XR not to take away from the Fein even Milwaukee version not that bad either
Thomas Carroll festool changing the game with their multi tool offering, the added depth stop and attachment for making long and 45 cuts
Yes , I love this tool. I have loads of Makita and Milwaukee cordless 18 volt tools and still got this DeWalt tool.
I don't know if it's the best, but I definitely don't regret purchasing it. (XR)
I have 2 of these and they are used and abused almost daily going on 2 years now and are still running strong. Awesome multi tool 👍
There’s a very good reason for this, the existing xr model is being phased out hence the price reduction ! It’s being replaced by an even more powerful model and will run alongside the less powerful atomic version
One of the only DeWalt tools I own .
It's a great design .
👍👌👀
It came with a fantastic depth guide bar that even has a roller to glide it along 👍 really nice unit.
I have had the xr for about three years and it has been a life saver many times and is the only took I use for undercutting on flooring jobs. There is no way I would purchase any other oscillating tool. They can keep the atomic.
What's the difference between the atomic and XR ? @VCGconstruction
I noticed the same thing.. My take on it is DeWalt is possibly phasing out certain XR tools and rebranding them as the Atomic line.. They are making some changes to certain tools while other tools will remain virtually untouched. Hence the drop on price on the old model
Thx for the info & keeping a look out for the consumers 👍🏻
👍🏻❤️
Timely as was considering getting oscillating tool, need to watch your other vids on them. Thanks guys!
I've had one for about a year and used it and loved it every day until the trigger failed and doesn't work anymore. My only complaint is the back of the handle gets hot after some use and honestly I would rather have a on/off switch instead of the trigger but the trigger isnt all that bad.
Used mine when I redid all wood floors and tile in my 3500 sq ft home. Worked flawlessly. You got a lemon
He conveniently always gets a lemon dewalt tool... weird how it only happens when he does reviews
I bought the atomic at home depot because they had a deal that when you buy the tool you get a free battery. It was worth $129 to get a $149 battery for free.
I just bought a brand new XR from the pawn shop for $80 with tax. Pretty stoked about it. This thing is a life saver in some situations
I've had mine for over a year works perfect
I got the dewalt xr brushless oscillating tool last year for one job, and its so good, i havent put it down yet, i have cut timber with it with a wide blade, cut steel with it, cut nails out of framework with it when i have been altering my shed
I have cut mortar out from between bricks with it when re pointing the house, cut board with it, cut plastic electrical conduit with it
The only time i put it down for more than a day was when i bought the xr brushless reciprocating saw 😂
Its a go to tool, it sees as much work as my impact driver 😁
Im really into the dewalt xr 18 volt power tool range, im gonna buy more, i dont know whether to get the brushless jigsaw or a circular next
I have a dewalt 240 volt jigsaw at the moment, so probably the circular 🤔
Hey Vince, thanx for the heads up. Luv my XR. I’ll stick with it. 😃
I bought the XR 3 tool kit from lowes just now online, picking it up in the am when I get material for a job….
XR multi tool, Jigsaw, and Sander
4.0 battery
Charger
And large bag to carry
I literally used one of these yesterday..(first time)....GREAT TOOL!!!.. 👍
A coworker has one and loves it.
Just bought the Atomic at H.D. Early Black Friday sale going on. On sale for 99 bucks. Includes battery and charger with 2 blades. In case anyone is interested.
I got the atomic($64) and after cutting a couple door jams (for flooring hight) a small spot on the top of handle got crazy hot. , Drains a battery super fast.
Probably radiation.
I use the xr multi tool everyday, I love it! Great video!!
I own one and it rocks
Grabbed the 356B a few days ago for an upcoming deck project. Went with it mostly for the free 5AH battery promo at the blue store. The wording in the description is a bit odd too- it is variable speed, but the 3 speed selector at the base is more of a speed limiter.
So have the XR and the Atomic. They are both ab the same thing. After using both the only diff is less vibration. I mean it does have less OPM, but with speed cutting nails or wood, I haven't experienced a diff. If you have an XR, dont upgrade. If you need a multi-tool, get the atomic.
Hi Vince,
I agree with you, doesn't make no sense with the dewalt atomic oscillating tool. Why make this. The other thing different was the clip that holds the blade on the atomic is black. I don't know what dewalt was thinking.
I went on line myself to check both model and i scratched my head.
Now Lowe's is carrying the dewalt xr oscillating tool that has the 3 speeds on it which is a cool feature. I have to say i was asking for this feature. The odd thing is, home depot doesn't carry it.
Thanks for the video.
@@joshuataylor9224
That's cool. I'm going to pick one up this weekend.
I have the one without the 3 speed. Which one is better?
@@Fausto27F
I have both models and like them both. I do find myself picking the 3 speed more just to control cuts with finish work. I use the non 3 speed fir more outdoor cutting or when i don't need control of speed. Just remember you can control the speed with the trigger. Just nice to have that 3 speed
I've a question Vince. I'm a roofer in vt and sometimes have to store my lows flex power tools. I had most of them charged when I put them in closet .Will tbi be bad for my battery
I owned the Makita variant(love for quietness) and used the Ryobi oscillating tool (hated it) and own the XR brushless dewalt (my favorite).
Definitely best cordless, however the star lock Bosch is my favorite powered one
william wright Yes, thank you.
I got mine recently. It's a 20v brushless atomic line. I got it for some jobs that come up in tile work, trimming wood frame facias, grout removal, trimming vinyl wall covering to make room for base etc, and I've been very, very happy with it. I'm gonna guess they put a new name on it, without many changes because there are allot of people out there where money may not be an object, who sees a new name and instantly goes, oh it's a new version, I gotta go get it it's the latest one out there. And that = sales$$$ its all about the money. (Could be wrong tho) who knows? From seeing it out in the field, they both cut at about the same rate, and to me maybe the atomic was even a little smoother. I only paid 100 for it at home depot, tool, battery, charger, and a couple blades.
I’m an electrician and we use all dewalt tools and we have a few of the XR multi tools and I use them daily and love them!!! I love the variable speed trigger! Blade change is super easy!!!
By far my favorite and most used tool, but the Atomic version seems like another Dewalt solution looking for a problem. Also, they need to clean up their website and make their language more uniform.
Agreed!!
I bought mine from the Home Depot on Buselton Ave. just outside of N.E. Philly for $99.00
I just got the fUll XR kit with battery, charger, and bag today for Christmas from my awesome wife. I can’t wait to use it for real. There’s a lot of work waiting for it. The only thing I’m going to have to remember is to lock that trigger when changing blades. It seems really easy to forget and accidentally squeeze the forward rocker switch during a blade change, risking fingers. I know, I know, always remove the battery/unplug a tool when charging blades or bits. No lectures required, please.
I bought the atomic oscillating kit for $99 on Black Friday. I want the XR just to have it and compare. Can never have to many.
DeWalt is throwing some shade!
I have the XR. Love it!
The price of the Atomic used to be $99 when I got mine. But, it was a freebie with another DeWalt tool, so the actual out-the-door price was zero. I’m okay with that.
thanks for the video. went with a corded version. tired of getting burned with batteries changing all the time.
Thanks for exposing the facts Vince! You always do a good & entertaining video! 👍
Thanks Michael!!
Just purchased XR brushless in the UK with 2 batteries charger, case and 36 piece accessory kit for £199. That's about $250, but with the batteries ( and being in rip of Britain) that's not a bad deal.
Having problems with the XR the quick change doesn't work for me it comes loose so I have to tighten with Allen key then it stays locked.
I know this video is now almost two years old, but check out your local Ace hardware. If you buy the 4AH battery plus charger base, you can get the oscillating tool or the compact circular saw or the one-hand recip saw free. I got this deal! The 4AH battery, charger base, plus the tool DSC354B ("Atomic" one) for about $165. Deal ends June 30, 2021. Check the Ace Hardware website sale details.
the old tool is so good i want another just as a spare,,,,, its a superb bit of kit
Good video @VCG. Vince I purchased the 3 piece Milwaukee rolling packout kit with the Fuel reciprocating saw and impact and hammer drill, I then entered to win the tools or the t shirt, I won a t shirt.
Thanks bro, you fixed my mind🤕
I use this tool and Ryobi's multi tool!!!! both are awesome tool!! and wow i didnt even know they made an Atomic Multi tool,
i have owned 5 ryobi cordless multitools all were garbage if you work it hard the motor will pop and you have junk
CONGRATS TO VCG ON 115,000 SUBSCRIBERS !!! 👍👍

I am vintage! I was his 180th subscriber. I think you were a subscriber even before me.
Congratulations, Vince!
I bought the DEWALT multi-tool when they first hit the market at $200.00. And was well worth the purchase price! I would put it in my top 5 must have tools. $111 dollars is a steal for that model tool!
Because the xr 356 is out check out Lowe's.
Love the dewalt oscillating tool as well
Ergonomics, quick change blades, variable trigger speed, tool test winner, SOLD. XR brushless for the 🏆 win.
I would buy the new 3 speed version
I bought the Bosch corded kit and it’s amazing, but don’t use it much because it is corded. What do you think performs better, the Bosch corded or the Dewalt XR cordless!
Thank You 👍🏻👍🏻
Got this in a lightning deal yesterday on Amazon. DEWALT 20V MAX XR Multi-Tool Kit, Oscillating Tool, 6-Speed, Quick Blade Change for Multi-Tool Needs, Cordless (DCS356D1 for $120! Just came to see if it's good. Thank you sir!
I did some price comparing before I purchased. Home Depot in my area, Boise, is $179. I found it on line at an Amazon affiliate for $117, the XR that is.
I used a fien multi for years. The Dewalt is the best, it retired the fien. Dewalt multi has Superior control for precise cutting or full power for serious cuts. Light weight, hang it on your side when appropriate. Its the sawzall of the finish carpentry world. I wouldn't bother with the Atomic version. What's the point.
The I got the atomic because it came with a free 3ah battery. I also love it. It's a newer version, obviously Dewalt is doing something with the tool that you don't know...
If you Goto Home Depot now they have the Atomic with the 5AH battery and charger for $129
I just got the 356 that has 3 speeds and came with battery, charger, tool bag, and 3 blades for $99 at Lowes
I bought atomic at Home Depot a few days ago and it was $99 with battery, 3 accessory blades (incl blade adapter), LED light, and 20K not 18K
got the original ,starting to see problems with the blade change. the lever is bottoming out on the body leaving little gap between the spikes and the plate. few co workers having same problem
Can you use the 18v xr batteries with this?
Doesn't the atomic oscimallatir tool at HD come with a 2ah battery like the new fangled 4.5 inch grinderylookin saw does right now? (You get $45 back on that battery as well)
The only Atomic worth buying is the little drill/driver. Its an awesome general use, compact, capable drill. Obviously it's not for heavy duty use. Get the big 3spd hammer drill for serious work.
I think it's better to wait of the DCS356 with features like the 3 speed functionality and more speed. These two are basically identical.
Thanks for the heads up
👍🏻
I just bought the atomic at Lowe’s for 119. It came with a free 5ah battery. Id say that’s an unbelievable deal.
Looks like the Atomic has a “plastic” tooless blade change, compared to the XR’s metal? Also find it frustrating that the manufacturers (& DeWalt isn’t the only one that does this) can’t “fill out” the specifications for their tools; it’s not like they don’t know, or don’t have the answers, lol
Thx for the Vid👍🏻
the lever is plastic on both of them
@@Wazoo117 No it's not. The silver one is die cast aluminum. The black one could be die cast aluminum too, but the silver one is definitely die cast aluminum.
@@Wazoo117 the xr is definitely die cast aluminum it has held up extremely well for more than three years of heavy use.
@@timmoss868all the xrs I've used have a white/slightly translucent plastic lever painted silver. I have 4 of them for my crew. The paint is very strong but will eventually wear. With that said I have no complaints about the plastic lever. It's a very stout tool.
Definitely not metal.
I got it over the Milwaukee because of the quick blade change and the trigger to do more precise cuts. The XR I prefer because of the 20000 oscillations
This atomic version is to replace the current DCS355b. The real successor and improved version one is the hard to get DCS356B at $139 tool only. Happy to report mine just came in today. Can’t wait the break her in.
I think the DCS355 XR is actually the Atomic and phasing it in! The new XR DCS356 now has the 3 speed selector switch near the battery. A little bate and switch and some oscillating per min fudged numbers🤷🏻♂️
👍🏻👍🏻
Talking about the 20k vs 18k OPM, the only thing that makes sense to me would be wider degree swing on the blade thus needed less OPM, and they don't disclose that....
I have 3 and NEVER have I had a problem with either of them mine all work perfect and I use them for multiple jobs
I bought the atomic with a free 2ah battery for $99, sold the multi tool and bought the xr kit with the 1.5ah battery, bag and charger for $129. Now I have the xr multi tool, a 2ah and a 1.5ah, a bag and charger and only spent $129.
More likely than not, the XR has been around long enough that it has already paid for its R&D so they can lower price.
The Atomic MAY have differences but is new enough that price will be higher to cover R&D.
Personally, I have the XR and love it.
It'll be interesting to see what more comes out about the Atomic in the future.
GO XR All The Way!!! I just picked up the Dewalt DCS356C1 "Kit", DCS356 20v MAX XR, 1.5AH 20v MAX batt. and charger, 2 blades and a universal adapter. $99.00 . Atomic sounds like a "Special Shipment" kind of thing, I am pretty certain I learned at least partly from you to look out for these things. Amazing agility with this thing, 3 speeds and variable trigger, its been on my list a long time but DIY as opposed to Pro so i have to be patient. I was actually going to break the bubble on a 20v MAX XR Jigsaw and walked past the Oscillating Tool kilt for $99.00. Yep, they saw me coming ... and yes they had a blade kit next to it for another 25 ... lol.
I got the atomic, a hammer drill driver, a bag, two batteries and a charger for 159.99 at home depot
Big tool stores always get the 'special' ones, so they can offer a seemingly comparable tool at a lower price. Great info here. Amazon has the XR package for much cheaper.
I didn't even mind the rambling that so many are complaining about here. I was cracking up! Well done!
Just bought my xr today to fix my shower grout. Any tips?
Great homework and that is very interesting.
I used to work for a power tool mfg in design. The reason....Home Depot wants and exclusive. They want a different name, change a few colors of parts on the tool, change a few things in the kit. If the Mfg doesn't change it, Home Depot won't carry it. It's the same fucking tool. Stupid games. Sometimes mfg's will just reskin the tool and make it look futuristic and new, when internally it's the same tool they were selling before. They'll add some useless features that they will use to sell it into the box stores as "new" and "improved". They refresh the line with a new look to help sell it. Just games.
Love this tool but a friend has the porta cable it seemed a little stronger then the dewalt
I just picked up the DEWALT 20V MAX XR DCS356D1 with the 3 speed variable based on many reviews, and yeah... happy I grabbed it. My first oscillating tool and I think I did ok! lol
lol this is just like dEEwalt their some shysters with their marketing. I had the Xr it was alright but the vibration was bad. I have the milwaukee m18 now i like how its more of a tank and less vibration for user more on material.
🤣🤣
Well Vince the better deal is this..THE ATOMIC TOOL BATT AND CHARGER FOR 105.OUT THE DOOR FOR THIS FATHER'S DAY
