I am full Hilti for my big tools, but I do have some M12 stuff like lights, radio etc.
I am looking at the Milwaukee M12 Multitool for occasional use.
Is it worthwhile? The only downside I can see that it isn’t tool-less.

well I have used the 12v ridgid OMT and I find that it lacks power…. im not sure what the M12 is like but I did buy the porter cable corded and find the power is definitely there…. not sure if this helps but if you want an OMT my best advice is get just that not the Jobmax
Dewalt has a really nice multi tool but if your already invested in the Milwaukee line then go with the Milwaukee you can’t go wrong with it
Vibration is typically the biggest complaint about the M12 omt particularly when the tool is pushed to its limits. As a hilti user you will probably hate an M12 omt. Theyre in a whole different league of power. You can push a hilti so much farther than most 18V tools let alone 12V. Corded may be more suitable for you.
It’s not a bad tool its just not omg amazing either. None of the Milwaukee multtools are that impressive the M12 or M18.
I would just be making plunge cuts for retrofits and flush cutting anchors. HD doesn’t stock it so I can’t “try it” before I buy it…

The M12 does have its limitations, a nice tool overall if you don’t push it beyond its capibilities, fine for the small projects…. the biggest down fall are the blades, I’ve been through cheap to exspensive from 6-7 manufactures, they do vari in quality however none wow me. The MT does have its place though.

Most Home Depot locations have the bare tool in stock. The function to check nearby stores should find a few.
jbw55 is right, the blades are certainly the weak point of these tools.
Much appreciated!
