Over at Amazon, the Dewalt DCS355C1 20V max cordless oscillating multi-tool kit is on sale for just $99. It’s currently “temporarily out of stock,” but you can still place your order and they’ll ship a kit out to you once they receive a resupply shipment.
It’s also on sale at Home Depot, with supplies seemingly running out at stores.

There are some things to consider. First, you get a lower capacity compact battery – either 1.3Ah or 1.5Ah. No big deal, it gets you and up and cutting quick, but is still something to be mindful of.
Second, you get a sparse selection of accessories. But, is that a compromise or a preference? Speaking as someone who doesn’t like paying for included power tool accessory assortments I might never use, this might be a “pro” rather than a “con.”
Lastly, it’s priced considerably lower than the bare tool (DCS355B), which is typically priced at $139. So, you get the tool with a battery and charger, but for a price that’s less than for just the bare tool.

The only thing I don’t like about Dewalt’s oscillating multi-tool is that it’s only tool-free with split-back oscillating multi-tool blades and accessories. That’s not an issue if you stick with compatible blades from Dewalt, Rockwell, or Imperial Blades. You can still use other brands’ accessories, but it requires a hex key. In my opinion, the best part about this model is its ergonomic handle
