Does the 2836-20 come with a battery?

No. It is a bare tool; you supply an M18 battery and charger. It works with all M18 packs.

It starts the tool at low speed for a controlled entry cut, then automatically ramps to the top speed once the blade is under load.

What blades does it use?

It uses Milwaukee OPEN-LOK blades and accessories, changed without tools. A 1-3/8-inch wood blade and four sandpaper grits are included.

How does it compare with a corded multi-tool?

It cuts comparably on M18 packs without a cord, but it is heavier than most corded tools and needs charged batteries.

Yes. The included 3-1/2-inch triangle sandpaper in 60, 80, 120 and 240 grit fits the sanding pad for detail work.

Is it good for plunge cuts?

Yes. The slow-start Auto-Load and the LED light make it well suited to plunge cuts in drywall, trim and flooring.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the 2836-20 as one of the strongest cordless multi-tools, praising fast cutting, low vibration and the tool-free blade change. Common complaints are the bare-tool packaging and its size next to compact 12V tools.

What people mention

Cutting speedPraisedOwners say the high OPM and 4.2-degree oscillation cut quickly through wood and drywall.
VibrationPraisedThe dampening keeps full-tool vibration low, which owners credit for cleaner control.
Blade changesPraisedThe tool-free lever makes swapping blades fast, a point owners call out often.
Battery platformMixedM18 owners like sharing packs, but the bare-tool kit means buying batteries separately.
Size and weightCriticisedSome owners find it heavier and bulkier than compact 12V multi-tools for overhead work.
Auto-LoadMixedThe slow-start ramp helps plunge cuts, though a few find it unpredictable on delicate work.

About the M18 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool 2836-20

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool (2836-20) is a cordless oscillating tool. It has a POWERSTATE brushless motor and runs at 10,000 to 20,000 OPM. The oscillation angle is 4.2 degrees. It works with all M18 batteries.

A variable speed dial lets the user set the speed for the job. The Auto-Load feature starts the tool slowly for precise cuts, then ramps up to full speed once it is under load. Vibration dampening technology reduces vibration, and blades change without tools.

A 180-degree span LED light helps with visibility in low light. REDLINK PLUS intelligence lets the tool and battery communicate for performance, protection and compatibility.
