The Oscillating Multi Tools I Tested
The [DEWALT DCS356 Oscillating Multi Tool](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=DEWALT+DCS356+Oscillating+Multi+Tool&tag=thetestedhub-20) was my top pick. Three speed selector is genuinely useful and the brushless motor stayed cool through a full grout removal session.

Quick answers
Yes. I stopped buying brand-specific blades two years ago because universal fit blades work in every tool I own and cost about half as much per pack.
Cordless if you are moving room to room, corded if you are stuck on long grout removal jobs. I keep one of each because they each shine in different spots.
