After years of struggling to hack my home improvement projects by finding creative uses for the tools I already owned, I finally started buying the right tools a few years ago. It’s made a tremendous difference in my life, and no tool has had a more profound effect than this Dewalt XR Oscillating Multi-Tool. It's almost 50% off at Amazon for Prime Day right now, and I couldn't recommend it more.

A multi-tool is just what it sounds like: By swapping out the attachments, the tool can adapt to a wide range of uses. You can use a multi-tool to cut pipes, trim wood pieces, cut drywall, grind out rust or sand wood, cut out grout or mortar lines, scrape paint—it’s an amazing tool. Plus, its design makes it a lot easier to make cuts in awkward, tight spaces where fitting a circular saw or handsaw isn’t easy.

The Dewalt XR is a great multi-tool. It has three speed settings, so you can adjust the speed for your needs. It fits just about every multi-tool attachment out there, so you can quickly expand its uses in your house just by picking up new attachments. One thing I love is the quick-change accessory, which makes switching between attachments a breeze—just every project I work on sees me swapping attachments back and forth, and doing it with more cumbersome mechanisms was torture. And it’s one of the most comfortable multi-tools I’ve ever used. The oscillating action can be tough on your hands and arms over time, but this model has rubber grips that make it easier to use for long periods.

At almost 50% off, this multi-tool is just a hair over $100, which is a steal for something this useful. If you’ve never used a multi-tool before, grab it. You’ll find many of your projects around the house going much faster and more smoothly.
