Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. The 2426-20 is a bare tool; it runs on Milwaukee M12 REDLITHIUM batteries, which are sold separately. If you already own M12 tools, you can share those batteries.

What is included in the box?

You get the multi-tool, a wood cutting blade, a sanding pad and five assorted sanding sheets. Battery, charger and case are not included.

Will it take blades from other brands?

Yes. The universal accessory adapter fits most major brands' oscillating blades and attachments, so you are not locked into Milwaukee accessories.

How does it compare with an 18V multi-tool?

It is smaller, lighter and easier to control one-handed, but it cuts slower in hard material. Choose it for tight spaces and light-to-medium work; choose an 18V tool for heavy cutting.

With the right blade it cuts wood, drywall, plastic and thin metal, and it sands, scrapes and removes grout. The variable speed lets you slow down for sanding and speed up for cutting.

Is it good for a DIYer?

Yes, if you already own M12 batteries or plan to buy into the platform. It handles trim, flooring and sanding well and is easier to control than a full-size multi-tool.
