![]() The Porter Cable is more than sufficient for cutting, grinding, scraping, and sanding in awkward/hard-to-reach spots – everything that a good oscillating tool should be able to do. People buy oscillating tools because of their multi-functionality, so it makes sense to get one with as many different blade configurations and accessories that you can – the more accessories you have, the more wide-ranging your tool will be. Like we said, we chose this tool because in our mind there’s no better overall value in terms of price, functionality, durability, and the amount of included accessories. Reviews of the Best Oscillating Tools Best cheap oscillating tool: Porter-Cable 3-Amp 52-Accessory Kit It comes with a generous assortment of blades, accessories, and sanding pads, it performs well, and it’s actually a little bit cheaper than the Porter-Cable kit. ![]() Lastly, the 3.0-amp Rockwell Sonicrafter is more than deserving of a mention, and is another very good value pick. In our experience it doesn’t perform quite as well as the Makita, but the fact that it’s slightly cheaper and comes with more blades and accessories, makes it a serious contender for best-in-class. The DeWalt DWE315K is another slightly more expensive, top-shelf pick that’s in a similar class performance-wise as the Makita. With three different options to choose from (MM20, MM30, and MM40), they made it a point to have something for a range of different budgets. The Dremel Multi-Max is another really good choice, and is one of – if not the most – popular options out there.ĭremel’s made a name for themselves over the years with their iconic rotary tools, and it’s evident they put the same amount of thought and design consideration into their oscillating tool lineup. Powerful, sturdy, and amazingly functional, it’s like a full-size sawzall but with a million more functions, and in a package less than half the size. This is nearly double the price of the Porter-Cable, but my goodness is it a nice tool. There are slightly more powerful and better-performing options out there, but none that come close in terms of price, considering the reliability of the tool and the amount of accessories/blade configurations that come with it.Īs far as the overall best-performing, best-in-class option, it’s hands down got to be the 3-amp Makita TM3010CX1. The Porter-Cable 52-accessory kit is far and away our top pick for the best ‘cheap’ oscillating tool. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this article, we’ll break the confusion down for you and review several of the most popular (and a few of our personal favorite) ones out there, and dish out our top overall picks. The only downside is that there’s tons of different models, blade configurations, styles and sizes out there to choose from, and it can be a little daunting trying to find the right one. The good thing about them is that they’re a relatively cheap investment, and you’ll probably end up getting more use out of yours than you could ever imagine. While they’re well-known for standard jobs like undercutting baseboards, their true value is in their ability to tackle all those tricky, odd little jobs where no other tool is really useful. Oscillating multi-tools are becoming an almost default addition to every DIY’ers tool collection. Share on X (Twitter) Share on Facebook Share on Pinterest ![]()
