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.

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

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!

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?

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 got the xr brushless kit with bag, battery and charger for 99.99 plus tax at Lowes during Christmas.

Yes , I love this tool. I have loads of Makita and Milwaukee cordless 18 volt tools and still got this DeWalt tool.

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 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

Timely as was considering getting oscillating tool, need to watch your other vids on them. Thanks guys!

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 use the xr multi tool everyday, I love it! Great video!!

Hey Vince, thanx for the heads up. Luv my XR. I’ll stick with it. 😃

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.

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.

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 🤔

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!!!!

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 👍

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

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.

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 don't know if it's the best, but I definitely don't regret purchasing it. (XR)

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.

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.

What's the difference between the atomic and XR ? @VCGconstruction

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

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.

Thanks for exposing the facts Vince! You always do a good & entertaining video! 👍

I have the xr multi tool and when I put the blade in (dewalt) the shaft has play in it maybe I got a defective one

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.

Definitely best cordless, however the star lock Bosch is my favorite powered one

I was really expecting the Atomic to be cheaper. What a twist! I don't know why manufacturers resort to these confusing marketing gimmicks. Sometimes its to appease a major retailer by offering them an "exclusive" product, different only in name. Maybe the "Atomic" is made in another country? Only DeWalt knows the real reason. I will say one of the most useful functions of this tool is tearing down boxes with the DEWALT Oscillating Tool Blade, Triangular, Rigid Scraper (DWA4232). We get a lot of shipping boxes and some of them, like from Costco, are extremely thick. I've cut myself a few times using a sharp knife. I saw this DWA4232 demonstrated cutting heavy foam insulation like a hot knife through butter and wondered if it would do the same with these boxes. It works! And it's much safter than a knife. This tool is worth buying for that use alone.

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.

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 xr is definitely the way to go! In kit it comes with an adjustable depth stop. I have tried a few corded models that always stalled then I gave the xr a try because of the brushless motor, I will never buy anything else.

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.

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...

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.

@VCGConstruction

Agreed!!

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.

They have that 20volt xr multi tool on sale at Lowe’s right now at least my location for $80

Just bought my xr today to fix my shower grout. Any tips?

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 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.

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.

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.

Just as I thought it’s a smaller motor thank god cause I just ordered the XR

I bought the xr at home depot and my coworker got his atomic at lowes fyi but instead of dewalts website my xr says 18k os and my coworkers atomic is 20k os

I would buy the new 3 speed version

DeWalt is throwing some shade!

I wonder if they lowered the number of OPM because it has more torque??

Is it still variable speed?

seems like they are following the BOSCH model same power slower speed, maybe for better control of the tool or the whole atomic line up, maybe.

My guess is the atomic will have a higher degree of oscillation. This will translate to faster cutting and work in general- hence the atomic name. Rockwell does this with different versions of there corded versions. I have the f50 with the 5 degree oscillation and I know of nothing else that cuts as fast.

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🤷🏻‍♂️ 👍🏻👍🏻

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 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

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.

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

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.

Great video Vince

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.

Thanks for the information Vince clearly the xr is better I think all my dewalt stuff is xr now and so far all work great

I own both tools and the both after a short time developed a hot spot on the top of the handle. Love the tool free quick change but very upset about the hot spot
