About the author
I was using my M12 oscillating tool last weekend, trying to cut single gang outlets into 1″ wainscoting on 3/4″ plywood, and am really tempted by the M18 model. If love to have the extra power and runtime. I understand Milwaukee continuing with non-fuel model on some tools, lowering both power and price point, but for something like this that had such a high power draw, I don’t see the appeal of a brushed model if there’s a brushless model in the works.
Love the blade change on this guy
I love the write & very detailed as always. I have a Ridgid cordless multi-tool & it truly is a multi-tool, because it has different attachments that I can use for it (auto-hammer, wrench, back-scratcher, jig-saw, & a few others). I love mine for small jobs, but will invest in one with a little more power. I’m torn between DeWalt & Bosch, now you throw this one in the mix. It may come down to the universal attachments, because I need them to fit my Ridgid as well. I think that I will wait till they go down in price, maybe. Laters TIA
Thanks for the feedback.
Good review guys by the way the ridgid jobmax switch is like the dewalt and i love it, just waiting for a review of the dewalt blades because the bosch are hard to beat, and i would like to get the dewalt but i can only find there blades online
I hear you. That is one of the problems I have with Dewalt. Nice tool, but the blades make it a pain,
Great review Eric. Good points. I like the features Milwaukee has. It reminds me of the fein. I would buy this oscillating tool.
Thanks
This was one of the funnier videos.
As for the tool I do like the dust collection attachment in the first part of the clip. I’ll stick with my M12 though.
So why did you cut the video at the end… maybe I don’t want to know.
Good question. Dan will have to answer that one.
tks for review Eric&Dan…ordered one bare from toolup for $119.00..added m12 rotary tool.
have free shipping…cool.
Hey Guys @ tools in action. ..
All these multi tools all have differnt oscillating degrees of operation .. example the dewalt 3 amp has 1.8 @20k opm i believe and the porter cable 3 amp has 2.8 degrees @ 22k opm and the corded Milwaukee has 3.4 the others I really dont know about. What do you guys think about the different degrees of osiliation. Is more better or is less a smoother tool for the user. I think it is something to think about. Does it make much difference in the tools performance… Just something that I haven’t seen anyone mention.
Very good point. We will try to write something up about this. I don’t see much.
I want Milwaukee Fuel to make its way to this M18 MultiTool. You guys have any scoop on that? I am tempted to get the Dewalt DSC355 though, but I want to stick with my Milwaukee batteries to use.
