Dewalt DCS355D2

Handymen only - Professionals avoid like the plague! – I have just burnt out my 2nd one of these in 5 years - possibly Dewalt's worst tool ever. It's simply a bad design, the look of it actually gives the game away. If you look at Milwaukee or Makita's multi's, they have a thicker handle, the fancy design of this thing's case actually works against the proper function of the internals - if you use this tool for any length of time, the handle gets so hot you can't hold it and ultimately it just burns out, not all a good look for the most expensive version of the common tool brands. I am so fed up with buying these pieces of crap that I'm buying an adapter & getting a Milwaukee for the next one.
This is an awesome tool – I just bought this today. Best power tool I have. The 18v battery charged very quickly. I used the wood cutter first up. This was a pleasure to use. It cut through 12mm plywood with no worries. I personally like the varable speed trigger, some may find this annoying but I prefer it over the speed dial used on other brands. The grip was very comfortable, this is definitely a tick over other brands. I then used the sanding pad on both plywood and hardwood. Wow. Not sure how useful it will be for bigger jobs or if it will replace my corded belt sander. Time will tell. The unit has an Led light which is handy. I have a number of jobs lined up for this tool. If you are unsure and wrestling whether to get a multi tool like I did, you won't regret it!.
