Milwaukee 2836-20 M18 FUEL Brushless Lithium-Ion Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool (Tool Only)

The best tool out there . Whether you’re a Milwaukee, Dewalt , Mekita guy, these oscillating tools are great. The only 2 things about the Milwaukee version is I would like a trigger rather than just an on/off switch and wish they made these with the one key feature. A lot of people think it’s a waste of money but it had saved me a few times already.

I previously had a corded Dremel oscillating tool that finally stopped working after years of use. Power, low vibration and reliability are key with me since I am a contractor. And I rely on my tools to pay my bills. I was going to purchase a corded Fein oscillating tool, but decided to go with the Milwaukee M18 Fuel oscillating tool because I wanted the convenience of it being cordless. I am extremely pleased with the performance and low vibration of this tool. The auto speed controlIs a great feature. My only complaint is that I wish it would stand straight up from the battery, instead of having to lay it down.

Great purchase

So many odd uses for this that makes it so handy and hard to do jobs without it now. For nearly 2 decades in construction from residential to commercial ive seen these things come and go in the field. From receptacle box attachments that i once laughed at too cutting door jams out for flooring. It just seemed like a niche tool for odd jobs. Then i decided to build a deck where i needed a tool to cut some siding out in a tight spot where a sawzall wouldnt do the job. This tool exceeded my expectations for its usefulness. I used 5/4 deck boards and found myself using this to notch for every post. Trust me i have plenty of professional tools that i could've used instead but this was easy. I also added some 45⁰ supports off my 6x6 post and used this to sort of notch out where it landed on a joist hanger. It did the job without hesitation. If i had to add one con to the tool and it's more a flaw on the cutting blade than tool itself is that it simply doesnt cut metal very well. Standard non hardened metals yes but if you need to say cut a nail then fully expect a destroyed blade, excessive noise and a lengthy process to remove compared to other tools.

Amazing Product Great Seller

Its performance is excellent and vibration is minimal. The ‘auto’ feature works well so it automatically ramps up power to cut through tough spots easily.

I bought this multi tool for my father cause his old one got destroyed in an accident, he likes so far, emphazising the speed control, the quick chuck for blade replacement and the compatibility of the m18 batteries (his tools are all milwaukee (the multitool was the only one which wasnt)).Downsides being it doesnt come with a box, just the bare tool, so he stores it in one of the cabinets in his work van.

I finally had my corded oscillator go down for the count so I needed a replacement. As a general contractor, many of my primary tools (drill, impact driver, circular saw, recip saw, etc.) are cordless Milwaukee tools. Already owning a sufficient number of batteries, I opted to purchase this as tool only. This tool has afforded me a greater deal of versatility when making both general and precision cuts. I keep a large variety of different blades for this tool to suit almost any application. I especially like not having to worry about a power cord when using it on a ladder. It cuts very well, is easy to control and is no louder than any other tool in this category. The handle is relatively ergonomic and runs for a long time on a single battery.
