Milwaukee2836-20 M18 FUEL Brushless Lithium-Ion Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool (Tool Only)

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.

The product is great, it fits perfectly and is worth the money and customers. The seller is also reliable, clearly described the product, a good person, I recommend it to everyone, I am very satisfied. Good mood to everyone, and happy shopping.

Works great

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.

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.

I was a little skeptical when I bought this tool, my friend has one and says it come in really handy. Well, he is right! I used it yesterday to sand the inside cutout for all outlets on pegboard I put up in the garage, the triangle sanding attachment fit perfectly and did a great job. I can't wait to see how many times I reach for this new buzzy tool. Thanks, Milwaukee.

This tool is a workhorse. The M18 FUEL Multi-Tool cuts through wood, drywall, and even nails with ease. It runs smooth with less vibration than other tools I’ve used, and the LED light is a nice touch for attic or tight space work.Blade changes are quick with the tool-free system, but be aware: the locking screw can loosen during heavy use, and the blade might fall off if you don’t check it regularly. A little frustrating, but easy to manage once you know.Still, it’s one of the best multi-tools out there. Great power, great build, and a solid addition to the M18 lineup. Just tighten that screw and you’re good to go.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Excellent tool. Well balanced and effective.
