The only place I can find it for sale at the moment is Acme Tools, in case anyone else is wanting one.

Nice find!!!
Pretty nice kit assortment.
Man, I’ve gotta say – Acme Tools is pretty nice to deal with. Ordered this on Tuesday and got it today (Friday).
It looks just like on the website, but I still have to post a picture. 🙂
I gotta admit, Dewalt did a good job on the multi-tool. Hope it performs as good as it looks.
I’d still like to see black Dewalt tools with yellow accents instead of the other way around.
Bought mine from acme tools as well, cut in some receptacle boxes today and a island and it works great. The only issue is mine came with two wood blades instead of a wood with nails blade. Not a bid deal the other issue is the thing vibrates pretty noticebly I have had a lot of corded oscillating tools and none vibrate as bad as this one. I can live with it though dropping the cord and using batteries I already have a bunch of.
I just got mine from Acme today. I’m sure I will be using it tomorrow. Can’t wait!
Cant wait till Milwaukee releases a fuel version!
I love the grip on the Dewalt versus the body grip all the others have.

I’m not crazy about the idea of a trigger unless it has a lock on it.
Not sure about the cordless but the corded dewalt has a lock BUT only locks on full speed.
Yeah thats where dewalt takes the turn for the worst, it only locks on at full speed, a big no no in my books…. also they are screwing people with there blade system..
I haven’t had my hands on one yet, but it looks like the same blade system as the PC.
Bosch, rockwell imperial do not work since the quickchange requires the blades to cut or 3/4 of the way closed in.
The sell an adapter kit to allow you to use other blades in a non-quick change capacity. The problem is finding the kit.

Lol, i also dont like they dont offer dust extraction system here in the us…
The adaptor comes with the tool. I already bought imperial blades that fit it. They call them quick change. They aren’t available on all of their blades but they are available on the popular ones. I have been using it this morning. The only thing I am not crazy about is the trigger. Only locks on high. Would rather have had the thumb wheel.

I was speaking to the PC model I have, but it’s good to know the Dewalt comes with it.

I knew there was a catch. Wonder if the PC blades match up?
My Lowes has the blades. Home Depot doesn’t carry any blades that fit. The Porter Cable blades will fit. I’m using the Imperial blades I bought online and they seem like good quality blades.

Good info Mike.
All that’s left now is to compare the price and quality of the Dewalt blades versus the PC.
I got the bare tool since I already had an extra battery from my 20V XR Brushless Impact Driver, also got it from ACME Tools, got it just in time for a baseboard job I had to do. Great Oscillating tool.

The Rockwell blades fit perfectly with it.
How’s the battery life on the tool Javier? I haven’t tried Dewalt’s brushless line. Yet!

They work with the quick release?

The universal fit system ones do, I am using one right now from them and it stays in place, they have the same fittings as the dewalt ones
I wonder what happened with the Milwaukee multitool I haven’t heard much after the media event and all the other stuff from the even has been released.

Good information to know. Thanks for sharing.
No problem, also you can find some at amazon, just type quick change oscillating blades and they have a brand called Kent that has the same fittings as the DeWALT and they sale them in packs, they have a 10 pack bi-metal e-cut blades for $32.89
