Great tool, works as it should. Little pricey but being able to have battery power is worth it.

Decent rotary tool only for the price if you already have batteries for it. Basic rotary tool with basic functions to add to your collection.

Extremely Handy
I bought this to replace my corded Dremel as well as add to my ever growing pile of M12 tools. This has been great for me, I’ve been able to cut metal in tight places with it, sand down some small parts for fitment on my car, etc. It’s one of those tools I keep finding new uses for. Zero complaints or issues with it

    Not that great
    This is my third one. They don’t last that long. And. Summit tools has them for $99. !! After I bought one . Where is the fuel version? Come on Milwaukee. I only bought this one as I have a lot of Milwaukee batteries.

    Quit working suddenly
    Excellent tool....while it lasted. Less than a year old and I was using it one day and changed batteries, and it never worked again. I really like this tool, it is very versatile and does amazing things. I know I have to have another one, but I am going to see what else is on the market. I have a lot of M12 and M18 tools and have gotten years and years out of them, but this is the first failure I have had in a Milwaukee tool.

      Great tool. It replaced a corded Dremel tool and I love the cordless ability and fits well under and in cars to cut or grind as needed.

      Fantastic tools. It would be handy if it had a light to illuminate the work.

      Outclassed by Dremel
      Motor seized up. It was after disassembly I realized the motors in these are NOT brushless! In this day and age no one should be paying $$$ for a cordless power tool that doesn't have a brushless motor in it. I would recommend sacrificing the short lived 2k rpm peak in this tool for the longer lasting sustained performance of a Dremel. Yes, I would rather add another battery charger type to my power tool lineup than keep this tool in my Milwaukee ecosystem.

        Does not rotate near as fast as a Dremmel. Speed selector sloppy and has a tendency to get bumped out of set speed. Not a FUEL branded product, so it is older technology.

        not recommended
        Used this tool for about twenty-five minutes before the collet shattered.

          Stalls, overheats, and melts batteries :(
          I'm usually a big miluakee fan, especially M18, but I think M12 may be having some quality issues. At first it seemed fine but then my tool melted the plastic on a 2.0 ah M12 battery and a 4.0 ah M12 battery. It was overheating significantly even on 4/6 power with a standard small wire brush attachment. The tool often just stalls in more demanding tasks, and the vibrations often cause the speed wheel to change the speed setting accidentally, mid-work. Disappointed, waiting for the next model.

            I wouldn’t buy this product to use it daily
            I used it daily and then after a while the speeds jus started to act up and stop working it started with the mode 1 and then out of nowhere all of them stopped working and I barely had gotten it in march.
