About This Product

Milwaukee m18 fuel oscillating multi-tool generates fastest cuts, power for demolition, and lowest full tool vibration. Powerstate brushless motor delivers 10,000 opm to 20,000 opm with an aggressive 4.2° oscillation angle to deliver fastest cuts over competition. Cordless multi-tool also gives users power to complete many demanding applications with ease, such as large cuts through hardwoods and nail-embedded wood, pushing limits of what a multi-purpose oscillating tool can do. Vibration dampening technology delivers lowest full tool vibration, letting users make cuts more comfortably with less fatigue. Redlink plus intelligence ensures users achieve unmatched levels of performance, protection, and compatibility. M18 redlithium xc5.0 battery delivers more work per charge than competitive batteries on market when used with multitool. M18 fuel oscillating multi-tool has a 10-setting dial with an additional auto-load feature, allowing users to adjust speed to application. An integrated 180° led light provides maximum visibility in low-light situations.

  • REDLITHIUM battery pack: superior pack construction, electronics and performance deliver more work per charge and more work over pack lifespan than any battery on the market
  • Variable speed dial to allow users to adjust the speed to the application
  • Auto-load feature to allow the user to start slowly when making precise cuts and automatically ramp up to the highest speed once under load, to provide unmatched productivity

Answer This Question

The literature or advert info on HD’s website says it comes with the starlock adapter. Is this true? Or is it another fail on Milwaukees advertising department?

Answer This Question

Hey there. No — the M18 FUEL 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool (2836-20) does not come with a Starlock adapter and cannot accept Starlock-only accessories. It’s designed for Open-Lok and universal OIS blades.

    Is this tool new

    Why is there a description photo stating that this tool comes with an adapter for starlock compatibility? I also do not see this adapter in the box.

    Answer This Question

    Hi, Jamarcus. The Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Oscillating Multi-Tool does not include or support a Starlock adapter, and it is not Starlock-compatible. It uses the OPEN-LOK instead.

      Will Starlock blades work with this tool?

      Answer This Question

      No, Starlock blades will not work with the Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ Oscillating Multi-Tool. This tool uses Milwaukee’s OPEN-LOK™ Universal Fit System, which is compatible with most non-Starlock oscillating tool blades. Milwaukee explicitly states that their blades and interface are not compatible with Starlock tools or accessories.

        Then why is there a description photo stating that this tool comes with an adapter for starlock compatibility? I also do not see this adapter in the box.

          What kind of blade is included? That would be helpful to include. Can you give more details than “wood cutting blade”? What is the name of the blade standalone? Trying to determine if it can cut trim.

                Is this multi tool a fuel? It says fuel on the second picture but does not have fuel on the multi tool itself?

                  Faster cutting from the M18 Fuel oscillating tool than my corded tool, 20,000 OPM vs. 30,000 for the M18. Comfortable feel to use. Grip is even a tad thinner and about 1/2 lb heavier than a corded too overall. Good battery life cutting pine 5/4 x6 fascia boards for a repair patch using an XC5.0 battery in mid to high speed ranges. Trying the lighter CP20 battery didn’t last as long in fact fizzled out after making some cuts thru 5/4 board. Weight with tool and a 5.0 battery is 4lb 3 Oz, and with a 2.0 battery it’s 3lb 8 Oz, whereas the corded tool weighs about 3 lb.10oz. I’d use a smaller battery for lighter tasks like drywall or thinner lumber where long cut times are minimal. Probably not anymore noisy as a corded tool perhaps equal in both decibel and vibration while in use. Blade changes easy, no need to fully remove the hold down bolt, has 4 little magnets to hold blade in place and you hand-tight the bolt and lower the top lever. Accepts many brands of blade with same pattern. The LED light is helpful in full darkness. Perfect cutting tool to compliment my M18 Fuel HackZall.

                  This Milwaukee M18 oscillating multi-tool is powerful, easy to use, and the compact battery makes it convenient to carry around. It has plenty of power for cutting and sanding jobs, and the battery lasts a good amount of time. Great tool for DIY projects or everyday work.
                  by
                  Excellent set of batteries. They last a long time in my drill and with my router. The other styles of batteries I have are the 8 and 12 forge style batteries. Obviously these don't last as long, but they're much smaller and lighter. Perfect for the aforementioned drill and router. Working on a dollhouse now and they've held up for decent sessions. Highly recommend this style battery.

                  I purchased the Milwaukee pole saw to replace a wired pole saw and it outperformed the wired saw in multiple areas. First I was able to use it where power was unavailable. The Milwaukee saw lasted much longer than I thought it would considering it is battery powered. The cutting power this thing has is impressive and was cutting branches larger than I had expected. You can’t go wrong with the Milwaukee pole saw.

                  Great value
                  Highly effective multi-tool that cuts very well and has great battery life. A great value offering multiple different speeds. Good visibility with light as well. Low vibration felt when using.

                    Solid tool with a long battery life. Cutting and sanding in a breeze with this Milwaukee cordless multi-tool.

                    A real disappointment
                    The head it crooked and it makes it awkward to make detail cuts. And it's just not a very powerful oscillator. I bought it as a backup to my Milwaukee fuel version which was great for the first 8 months that I owned it until it blew up and I was hoping to use this as a backup until that one get repaired. But this thing is unusable.

                      🔥 Baddy 🔥
                      Just got mine today and put it to work immediately. Bottom line, this oscillating tool is a must have! Used it to cut a large rectangle area on the drywall, wow right down the line! Only thing better would be a laser cut. Cuts through a 7 inch HVAC metal line like butter. I am using Diablo blades for each specific material. Only thing I would improve is the locking mechanism. But willing to deal with it cause the tool is a baddy!
