Our Review
The Worx Nitro WX698L.9 delivers solid mid-tier performance for DIY oscillating tasks. The 5° oscillation angle and VibraFree technology genuinely reduce hand fatigue during extended use, and the slim-body design fits tight spaces better than bulkier competitors. The 20V motor provides adequate power for drywall cutting, grout removal, and light sanding without bogging down. However, runtime on the included battery is modest—expect 30-40 minutes of continuous cutting before needing a swap. The 23-piece accessory kit is generous, though blade quality feels middling compared to premium brands. Ergonomics shine with the rubberized grip, but lack of tool-free blade changes is a missed opportunity at this price point.
What We Like
- VibraFree technology meaningfully reduces hand vibration and fatigue compared to standard oscillators
- Slim-body design excels in confined spaces like corners and crevices
- Comprehensive 23-piece accessory kit covers most DIY cutting and sanding scenarios
- 20V motor delivers consistent torque for drywall, grout, and wood cutting
Watch Out For
- Battery runtime limited to 30-40 minutes, requiring second battery for all-day use
- Blade attachment requires hex key; no quick-change mechanism for faster swaps
- Accessory blades feel less durable than DeWalt or Festool equivalents at similar price
The Verdict
“A capable budget-friendly multi-tool that excels in vibration control and versatility for home workshops, though job-site users should budget for additional batteries.”
