I finally bought myself a DCS355 oscillating multi tool and I love the deep blade box that comes with it. I’ll probably even buy a second one. However… It’s clearly not just a universal box due to all of the fins on the inside. Can anyone provide a photo of how they fit everything in there properly? Or an official DeWalt photo of where the attachments and blades are supposed to go?
This (case layout depictions) may be one of the largest enduring frustrations that I have with DeWalt. I struggled for a long time with my router and its case before finally putting it in a Tough System.
@Sarbatche I’m not sure what the box you have looks like but how’s about switching to a modular box and using Kaizen foam?
It’s definitely going into a Tough System DS150 with Kaizen foam. All of my tools do. I’m talking about the little attachment box that comes with the kit.
Oh I got a dude. Well I’ve got the MXH from Bosch and it comes with a small plastic bin for the blades. Really cheap box but….it’s got some ingenious little posts and slots for various blades. I like it quite a bit. The post keep the Japanese blades in real order while the slots keep the circular blades in sprats order as well.

Yah I’d like to know to. I’ve spent way to much time playing with it trying to figure out how everything fits in there correctly. All those little raised plastic dividers and gaps are worst than a jig saw puzzle. They have to be there for a reason. I’m thinking about cutting them all out and just having an open box and dump everything into it if I don’t get this figured out soon.
How’s this, it’s the best I can come up with. With this arrangement it can securely hold 4 blades when they are doubled up.
In the last picture, if you trim this plastic bead flush and down low enough to clear the knob on the depth bracket it will fit in this spot straighter. The bracket sits offset a little because the knob is contacting the bead. Turning the knob in till its snug secures the bracket in place.
I have a grout blade and 2 of those half moon (circle) blades in there as well and as you can see I also have the parts in the plastic bag that they came in. sorry for the bad photo my phones camera is terrible. I also bought the 5 piece kit with box and put my smaller cutting blades in there.
