DeWalt has finally updated one of its most popular cordless oscillating multi-tools. In this video, I put the new DeWalt DCS359 20V MAX XR Oscillating Multi-Tool head-to-head with the previous-generation DCS356 to find out just how much has actually changed.

I compare the DCS359 and DCS356 in size, weight, ergonomics, sound, vibration, oscillation angle, cutting performance, blade changes, and overall usability. Most importantly, I put both tools through real cutting tests to see whether the changes DeWalt made translate into a noticeably better tool.

If you’re considering buying the DeWalt DCS359, already own the DCS356, or are simply looking for one of the best cordless oscillating multi-tools on the 20V MAX platform, this comparison should help you decide whether the new model is worth it.
