About This Product

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool generates the fastest cuts, the power for demolition and the lowest full tool vibration. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor delivers 10,000 OPM to 20,000 OPM with an aggressive 4.2 degree oscillation angle to deliver the fastest cuts over the competition. The cordless multi-tool also gives users the power to complete many demanding applications with ease, such as large cuts through hardwoods and nail embedded wood, pushing the limits of what a multi-purpose oscillating tool can do. Vibration Dampening technology delivers the 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. The M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 battery (not included) delivers more work per charge than competitive batteries on the market when used with the multitool. The M18 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool has a 10-Setting Dial with an additional Auto-Load Feature, allowing users to adjust the speed to the application. An integrated 180 degree LED light provides maximum visibility in low-light situations.

Questions & Answers

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.

By|May 28, 2026


    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.

      By|Jul 15, 2026

        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 converter I need to use it in Europe

          Answer This Question

          Hi, Ali. To use the Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion XC Starter Kit with One 5.0Ah Battery and Charger in Europe, you will need a voltage converter that can handle the power requirements of the charger. The Milwaukee M18 & M12 Rapid Charger included in the starter kit operates on 120V AC, which is standard in North America. European countries typically use 230V AC, so a step-down voltage converter is necessary.

            Can I use 220v on the Milwaukee charger?

            Answer This Question

            No these chargers are designed for 110V

            By|Nov 24, 2025

              Hey Seandre! No, you cannot use 220V on the M18 Milwaukee charger. The M18 chargers are designed to operate with an input voltage of 120V AC. Using a voltage higher than specified can damage the charger and pose safety risks.

              By|Apr 24, 2025


                Does this charger offer a free tool with purchase

                    What are the differences in this about $229 tool only model and the same brand about $129 model? (both tool only) What does the more expensive one offer for about $100 more?

                    Answer This Question

                    Also there is one feature that is not on the non “2836” model: The 2836-20 has a special “Ramp Up” or “Automatic” setting. When using this setting the tool ramps up to full speed when you push the tool into your work. Great for Sheetrock !

                    By|Dec 2, 2025

                      Hey Bill! The difference comes down to the lesser option having a Brushed motor vs the greater having a FUEL Brushless motor. FUEL will offer you extended run-time, power and longevity of the tool.

                          🔥 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!

                            Excellent high-performance tool! Cuts extremely fast without loading down. The rotary speed control is more precise than a variable speed trigger. Blade changing is easy with no tools. The tool has a good, solid feel in the hands with a nice over-molded rubber grip. 3 LED headlight on the nose of the tool projects a wide beam on the blade and cutting path. I really like the design, operation and performance of the Milwaukee 2836-20. It was the right choice for me.

                            This multi-tool is probably the most powerful multi tool I have used compared to other brands. The M18 world expanded with tool. I have used it so far on two projects and worked flawlessly. The M18 battery lasted longer than others I have used. My only problem is I wish the batteries were a little cheaper.
                            by
                            One of the best things about this tool is how smooth it feels while using it. It doesn’t vibrate as much as many other multi-tools, which makes it more comfortable to hold for longer periods. It also has different speed settings, so you can adjust it depending on the job. The built-in light helps when working in dark areas. The tool can also feel a little bulky, especially in tight spaces because of the battery size. Overall, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL multi-tool is powerful, well-built, and dependable. If you already use Milwaukee M18 batteries, it’s a great addition to your tools and can handle almost any small cutting or sanding job

                            I am a plumber and use it for cutting access into drywall and occasionally cutting pipe if it's a tight fit. Great performance, long lasting battery.
