Milwaukee Oscillating Multi-Tool
Milwaukee Oscillating Multi-Tools: Engineered for Speed, Precision, and Control
When tradespeople and serious DIYers reach for an oscillating multi-tool, Milwaukee Tool is consistently one of the first names that comes to mind — and for good reason. Their lineup of oscillating multi-tools is built around a trio of proprietary technologies — POWERSTATE™, REDLINK PLUS™, and REDLITHIUM™ — that work together to push cordless performance to its limits.
Two Platforms, One Standard of Excellence
Milwaukee's oscillating multi-tool lineup spans two battery platforms, each optimized for different job site demands.
- M12 FUEL™ Oscillating Multi-Tool (Model 2526): The M12 FUEL represents a significant upgrade from the original M12 model, incorporating Milwaukee's POWERSTATE brushless motor technology, REDLINK PLUS intelligence, and compatibility with REDLITHIUM battery packs to deliver corded-like performance in a highly portable package. The M12 FUEL delivers a 3.9° oscillation angle in a 2.3-lb frame, making it ideal for precision detail work, overhead applications, and tight spaces.
- M18 FUEL™ Oscillating Multi-Tool (Model 2836): The 2836-20 M18 FUEL represents the peak of Milwaukee's oscillating tool technology, with the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor delivering up to 20,000 OPM to dominate in cutting speed and power. Its aggressive 4.2-degree oscillation angle is designed to deliver the fastest cuts over the competition.
What Sets Milwaukee Apart in This Category
Three technologies define what makes a Milwaukee oscillating multi-tool different from the rest of the field:
- POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor: The POWERSTATE brushless motor maintains its speed under load better than the competition, providing the fastest cuts available.
- REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence: REDLINK PLUS is described as the most advanced system of electronics in the industry, enabling communication between batteries and tools for unmatched levels of performance, protection, and compatibility.
- Vibration Dampening Technology: Vibration dampening technology delivers the lowest full-tool vibration, letting users make cuts more comfortably with less fatigue — a critical advantage during extended use on demanding jobs.
Smart Speed Control: Auto-Load and Variable Dial
The M18 FUEL features a 10-Setting Dial with an additional Auto-Load Feature, allowing users to adjust the speed to the application. The Auto-Load Feature allows the user to start slowly when making precise cuts, then automatically ramp up to the highest speed once under load, providing unmatched productivity. On the compact side, the M12 FUEL offers a 12-Setting Dial along with an integrated LED light for maximum visibility in low-light work areas.
Versatility Across the Toughest Applications
Milwaukee oscillating multi-tools give users the power to grind, sand, and scrape at odd angles and in difficult areas, as well as make flush or plunge cuts, remove grout in corners, and tackle other awkward jobs. They also handle demanding applications such as large cuts through hardwoods and nail-embedded wood, pushing the limits of what a multipurpose oscillating tool can do.
