M12 FUEL 12V Li-Ion Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with 3/8 in. Right Angle Drill, Rotary Tool & 6.0Ah Battery

M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Rotary Tool is a real work horse. It has more power than most corded tools. You can use your M12 batteries that you use for your other tools. Delivers 5,000-32,000 RPM and it will cut or grind anything you need it to. I really like that it will auto shut off if the tool jams when cutting something and gets in a bind. I use this every week as it seems I find more and more uses for it since it is cordless. Best rotary tool out there.

This thing is great when it works. I'm on my 3rd warranty replacement now (about 1 year and 6 months since the original), and the new one went for about 3 minutes before it died. I haven't even gone through 2 of the supplied cutting discs that came with the original tool. At least they have a good warranty, but I will be buying a corded Dremel because I'm tired of breaking out the hack saw and files every time I'm working on something and this breaks. It has always been something to do with the power switch or the speed controller. Milwaukee needs to trash this and make something that can withstand the force of being picked up and turned on.

I had an older non-fuel, non quick blade change version, which has lasted years, and is still going strong. This is way better and easier to change blades on. Quick change, tool-less blade change makes all the difference. There is a magnet to hold the blade in place until you tighten down as well. Led lights up work area nicely and speed control and battery life are great. Plenty of power for all the jobs we have tackled so far. Highly recommended, will buy again if we need another.

Needed a rotary tool to enlarged some holes for a project and this little Milwaukee handled it with no problem. I initially purchased another brand which is probably the best known name for rotary tools and it died on me 5 minutes in on its first use. I thought it had just overheated but even after letting it sit overnight it still didn’t work. Since I have tons of Milwaukee 12v batteries, I figured it was smart to go with the Milwaukee. So far I’m very happy with it.

Portable power at a good price. The Milwaukee Oscillating Tool (Model 2526-21XC) cuts as quickly as my plug-in tool but without the hassle of cord. It balances easily but one-handed cutting is harder to control because the blade is so far forward of the hand grip. It also tires my wrist a bit more. Like the other M12 tools, it balances perfectly on the flat M12 battery pack. The LED shines nicely on the top of the blade but its shadow makes it difficult to line up a cut from the underside of the blade when needed. As usual, blades can be installed at a variety of angles, but note the LED always shines forward. There's only one thing I dislike about the tool: the blade lock mechanism. Changing blades means flipping a lever AND unscrewing the capture bolt; my corded unit just uses the lever, which automatically releases the capture bolt. I also had a major issue with the battery, which I'm hoping is specific to my unit. The battery WOULD NOT install completely, and needed two of us pulling to remove it. Other M12 batteries had the same issue. I had to remove a rubber bumper inside the battery compartment in order to seat the battery and make it removable (See photo). I've never had, or expected, an issue like that with a Milwaukee tool. The kit comes with a single blade, a sanding pad, some sanding sheets, an M12-only charger and a zippered canvas case. Everything BUT the blade is made outside the USA; the tool and bag are Made in China. It's an ideal tool for renovation work – I've used it on several door trim and baseboard replacement projects and the battery is still on its first charge. I may never use my corded tool again.

If I could give this thing 10 stars I would. I upgraded from a corded inexpensive multi tool to this and the difference is night and day! I have used this every day for the past month just because it is so easy to set up and start using in seconds. I love that I don’t have to have an Allen wrench with me to change to a new blade! I also used this to sand a vanity I just made and it got into all the hard to reach areas that my oscillating sander can’t reach! It also EATS wood while sanding so go easy with it! On its highest setting with the wood cutting blade from Milwaukee it can cut through 2x4s and 2x6s in seconds! I also got a ton of other blades and scrapers to use with it and it handles them all. The vibration is also very minimal on this multi tool compared to my last and is my favorite feature, I can barely feel it even on higher settings and it helps me cut straighter and with more accuracy. I highly recommend Milwaukees new FUEL multi tool and all their attachments! But make sure you have a spare battery or two if you have a large project. This will be one of your favorite new tools, it can do so much and handles itself like a much larger corded tool!

This is one of the most useful & versatile tools I use. I used this tool to selectively remove dry rotted 5/8" thick Cedar siding on my garage outside wall. I put a piece of masking tape on the included cutting blade, at the depth of the siding, so I wouldn't cut past the siding. I scribed a vertical line on the siding. I set the speed to 12 (max speed). In seconds the blade made a clean, effortless cut through the siding. I also used this oscillating tool to selectively sand off peeling paint on the outside door frame, preparing it for painting. I used 60 grit which removed the peeling paint very quickly. Prepping for painting has never been easier. All the peeling paint was gone in minutes. This package includes grits: 60, 80, 2-120, 240. I also used this tool, with cutting blade attached, to cut a PVC pipe in the field, at my farm. It made quick easy work of fixing a broken water line. There are a lot of features on this tool. The headlite is VERY handy & appreciated, by my aging eyes. The remaining battery power indicator lightes clearly show when a recharge is needed, before I start the next project. The speeds range from 1-slow to 12-very fast. Wondering which speed to use for a project was easily determined by adjusting the speed, as the tool was running, to see how it performed on the task. The M12 battery never failed to provide all the power I needed & recharged in minutes. I LOVE the super quick blade changing design. I simply raised the quick release lever, which loosens the retaining bolt, made a couple turns on the bolt & removed the blade. A GREAT detail is the magnetic adapter head. Once a new blade is seated on the magnetic adapter head the magnetic head HELD the blade in place till the bolt was hand tightened & the quick release lever was closed. Most of the tool has a non slip rubber like coating, is perfectly balanced & comfortable to hold & work with. It immediately reaches working speed. It includes: a heavy duty carrying case, operating manuals for the oscillating tool, battery & charger. This is a highest quality tool.

This is another great Milwaukee tool. I have several other M12 tools so this allows me to interchange tools and batteries as needed. I like that this is an all-in-one type set. You not only get the oscillating tool with standard accessories, but also a 4.0 ah battery and a charger. The set comes in a nice convenient tool bag. Once you charge the battery, you are ready to go to work.

This is a review of the Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with 4.0 Ah Battery, Charger, Accessories and Tool Bag. I really like the improvements made to this tool. I have the previous version, and this one is so much easier to change the blades on. You don't need a specific hex wrench any more. You can change the blades with any flat item, even a dime. There is an LED light which is nice. I was pretty surprised how much bigger the new tool is. The head is significantly bigger. I do like the rubber around the body that makes it much easier to grip. The new tool seems a little quieter and a lot smoother when running.

ADD-BOY MILWUAKEE! Milwaukee comes through with another winner. This tool is amazing and works well for many different types of tasks. What's fantastic about this kit is that it comes with everything you need to get started. The bag is no joke either. The attention to details and quality is given to every part of this kit. If your doing precision or fine work this tool is a must have. I have a plumbing task coming up at work and this tool couldn't of come at a better time. The tight spots that I need to get into will be easier to work with now that I have this tool for the repair. The light is the best part for me. Since I will be in a semi light dark space its going to help out big time! Switching out different types of cutting blades is easy as 1-2-3! They made this tool to be easy to use but durable as a tank! For this one... You get my "ADDA-BOY!" award Milwaukee!!!
