DeWalt Multi Tools
Dewalt multi tools are the go-to for trades needing versatility on site. These cordless wonders cut, sand, and scrape, powered by reliable Dewalt 18V systems.
Whether you're in the middle of a kitchen refit or tackling awkward cuts in a loft conversion, the Dewalt multi tool is your adaptable partner. It's designed for those tight spots where a saw or sander just won't fit, making it essential for joiners, fitters, and anyone in need of a precise finish. Choose the Dewalt multi tool with a battery for all-day power, or opt for body-only if you're already on the Dewalt battery platform. With its oscillating action, it's perfect for trimming door frames, cutting plasterboard, or removing grout.
What Jobs Are Dewalt Multi Tools Best At?
- Trimming door frames when laying new flooring without lifting the entire door off its hinges.
- Cutting through plasterboard for electrical outlets or switch boxes during first fix.
- Removing old grout between tiles, especially in tight bathroom corners where bigger tools can't reach.
- Sanding down awkward spots like banisters or window frames for a smooth finish before painting.

Choosing the Right Dewalt Multi Tool
Here's the deal for picking the right Dewalt multi tool: match it to your task and battery setup.
1. Cordless Power Options
If you're already on the Dewalt 18V platform, a body-only option is cost-effective. For those starting fresh, consider a kit with a battery and charger to ensure uninterrupted power.
2. Brushless vs. Brushed Motors
Brushless models offer longer run times and less maintenance, ideal for heavy users. For lighter, occasional use, a brushed model will suffice.
3. Accessory Compatibility
Look for models that support a wide range of attachments to expand your tool's functionality across different tasks.
