Questions and Answers for Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with one 5.0 Ah Battery, Charger and Tool Bag

A:  No. The fit should be snug, even tight, Make sure you are using an OEM Milwaukee battery, and that the surround / housing around the battery is not cracked. Milwaukee's fit and finish is in decline (I no longer buy their tools), so it could just be shoddy manufacturing.

A:  Hi Stephen- Can you please send our team an email at social.media@milwaukeetool.com, so we can learn more and assist with this experience? Thank you! -Milwaukee Tool Social Team

A:  This is a common and known problem with this model. If you see the YouTube reviews they almost all mention this.

A:  Hi Nick! The cases are designed for blade storage.

A:  The M18 Fuel multi tool is very well engineered. The battery does drop slightly below the body but I have not found that it interferes. In the event to interference does occur, you can easily and quickly rotate the blade to avoid the interference.

A:  Yes. It's made by the same company as the Rigid line at Home Depot.

A:  Not sure, but it did stop working in less than 2 months. Seems like it’s the switch. I bought this to replace a non-FUEL with the same problem. Finally bought a 3rd unit (not FUEL) and having been using it for a year. The first two I bought as part of a deal so I couldn’t return unless I returned the other items.

A:  It will run on any size Milwaukee m18 battery

A:  Nearly all brands of oscillating tools (and the Milwaukee cut off tool) run at very high RPMs, 18,000+ and that causes them to burn through any battery used. I use the CP 3.0 High Output batteries since they make the oscillating tool more balanced.

A:  No. It will actually run on any m18 battery. The 5.0 however will give you a longer run time for bigger projects.

A:  It will work with any M18 Battery.

A:  You simply lift the lever on the back of the tool head and then tighten the nut by hand then flip the lever back down.

A:  I just checked mine, it is also loose. I have not had any problems with it, may be normal, but I don’t know for sure. 

A:  If you are referring to the battery connection on the tool yes the 4 prong assembly has wiggle room. All my 24 milwaukee tools have some wiggle room on the tools battery connection. The tools that vibrate like my oscillating tool, super sawzall, oribital sander etc have more movement. I believe that is to reduce stress on the internal connections behind the plug. Should be completely normal. The connections on the battery should be tight and not be loose

A:  Great tool. Have noticed that battery fits loosely on tool and does shake when used. Actually have two of these and they both have loose fitting batteries.

A:  I had the regular M18 OMT before this one and I can say this one is 100% worth every penny extra. I even compared it with my buddy's Fein OMT and the FUEL one had more power, less felt vibration, and illuminates WAY better. I have zero regrets buying it

A:  The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool is a FUEL model. Within our battery systems, some tools have advanced technology which we call FUEL. The three components that make a tool FUEL are a Powerstate Brushless Motor, Redlink Plus Intelligence, and Redlithium batteries. FUEL products are engineered for the most demanding trades in the world. You’ll know a FUEL product when you see the FUEL symbol on the package.
