New to Prime Day? We’ve got the lowdown on everything you need to know . Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
After years of struggling with home improvement hacks and finding creative uses for tools I already had, I finally started buying the right tools a few years ago. It’s made a huge difference in my life, and no tool has had a more profound effect than this Dewalt XR Oscillating Multi-Tool . It’s currently almost 50% off on Amazon for Prime Day, and I can’t recommend it enough.
A multi-tool is exactly what it sounds like: by changing attachments, the tool can be adapted for a wide range of uses. You can use a multi-tool to cut pipes, trim wood pieces, cut drywall, sand rust or sand wood, cut grout lines, scrape paint—it’s a fantastic tool. Plus, its design makes it much easier to cut in awkward, tight spaces where it’s hard to squeeze a circular saw or a handsaw.
The Dewalt XR is a great multi-tool. It has three speed settings, so you can adjust the speed to suit your needs. It fits almost all multi-tool attachments, so you can quickly expand its use around your home by simply picking up new attachments. One thing I like is the quick-change accessory, which makes switching between attachments a breeze — it’s just that every project I work on requires me to switch attachments back and forth, which was torture with bulkier gear. And it’s one of the most comfortable multi-tools I’ve ever used. The oscillating action can be tough on your hands and wrists over time, but this model has rubber grips that make it easy to use over long periods of time.
At nearly 50% off, this multi-tool is just over $100, which is a steal for something so useful. If you’ve never used a multi-tool before, grab one. You’ll find that many of your projects around the house will go much faster and more smoothly.
