My only issue though is when using wobble sockets in the 887 it can get away from me if I'm not fully paying attention. And the quick change chuck tends to always have some play to it.
I'm a woodworker, so the 887 is vital... the 890, I'd be willing to Frankenstein that thing to Hades and back. I use it more as a slow speed grinding/deburring tool than anything else it seems.
The XR is awesome... but that atomic... oof!

As long as it comes separately, in it's own packaging, it should show up on your receipt as a separate line item with a return value.
Also, if patient, and diligent, its not uncommon to find the XR on sale <$100. And the XR is exceptional for the value.
All the atomics are a gimmick. No one understands why they exist other than to fool people.
Do some research on the XR vs atomic, and look into the atomics in general. The 12v Dewalts are MUCH better than their 20v atomic. I'm amazed they haven't been yanked off the shelves tbh.
Sadly, as a dewalt fan, they have made realllly bad choices the past few years. Their steps to evolve, in order to compete, have been (mostly) miserable failures. The only good things they did with their tools has been the 60v advantage lineup. The Atomic, and Bluetooth aspects, were just plain silly. And they reallllly pushed those way too hard.
Personally, I feel the Atomic tools would not exist if the Covid lockdowns were never a thing. Many people took to doing repairs around their home, and ended up buying into the Atomic series based on name alone.
So I highly recommend the XR oscillating tool. I'd rather use a Harbor freight oscillating tool over the Atomic line.
Head over to YouTube and search "dewalt atomic vs XR oscillating". But beware... if you watch any of the VCG videos, skip the first 90% of the video as it will just be repetitive babbling lol.
