550 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $67.40 the Worx WX696L sits in the mid-range tier of this oscillating tool group. Its 4.7-star average from 550 reviews is one of the stronger satisfaction rates in this price bracket, and the 2.8-pound weight is a practical advantage for tasks that require holding the tool at awkward angles or for extended periods.
The listing does not publish detailed specs beyond the 2.8-pound weight, so voltage, amperage, and RPM are not available for direct comparison. Buyers purchasing on specs alone will find the listing limiting. However, the 4.7-star rating across 550 verified owner reviews provides meaningful performance evidence that the tool delivers on everyday DIY expectations.
With 100 units selling per month, the WX696L is a steady seller in its tier rather than a high-volume mover. Worx tools typically occupy the DIY-focused segment of the market, and the WX696L's price and rating are consistent with a competent mid-range option for homeowners who do not need the most powerful or most reviewed tool available.
Pros
- 4.7-star rating from 550 reviews is among the higher satisfaction rates in the mid-price segment
- 2.8-pound weight is lighter than heavier corded competitors, reducing hand fatigue in prolonged use
- $67.40 sits between budget and premium tiers, offering a balance of cost and quality
Cons
- No amperage, voltage, or RPM specs are published in the listing data
- 100 units per month is moderate demand, with limited community troubleshooting resources compared to top sellers

Performance notes
The only hardware spec published for the Worx WX696L is a 2.8-pound item weight. No voltage, amperage, speed (RPM or OPM), or power source type is confirmed in the listing data. The 4.7-star rating from 550 owners is the primary performance signal available. The 2.8-pound weight suggests a compact build, favorable for overhead cuts and detail work in confined spaces.
What buyers say
Owners rate the WX696L highly at 4.7 stars, with the lightweight design and ease of use among the most cited positives. Buyers appreciate the tool for light to moderate home improvement tasks. The main gap noted in owner feedback is the limited technical documentation in the listing, which makes it hard for spec-focused buyers to confirm suitability before purchasing.
