What comes in the kit?

The multi-tool, one M12 Redlithium CP1.5 battery, a charger, a wood cutting blade, a sanding pad and a contractor bag.

Does it accept other brands' blades?

It uses the standard oscillating interface, so most OIS-compatible blades fit, though fit can vary by brand.

Can it cut drywall and PVC?

Yes. With the right blade it cuts drywall, PVC and soft wood cleanly; hard wood and metal are slower.

Is it worth it over an 18V multi-tool?

If you work overhead or in tight spaces, the lighter body wins. For heavy continuous cutting, an 18V tool has more power and runtime.

Does it have a work light?

No. This model has no built-in LED light.

What battery does it use?

Any Milwaukee M12 battery. A larger pack such as the XC 3.0 or 4.0 extends runtime.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the M12 multi-tool highly for its compact size, low vibration and clean cuts in tight spots. The recurring complaints are runtime from the small CP1.5 pack and the cost of replacement blades.

What people mention

Size and weightPraisedOwners say the small body and light weight make it easy to use one-handed and in tight cabinets.
VibrationPraisedThe over-molded grip and balance keep vibration low compared with larger multi-tools.
Battery runtimeCriticisedThe CP1.5 pack drains quickly under continuous cutting, so owners often buy larger M12 packs.
Cutting powerMixedIt handles trim, drywall and plastic well but bogs down in hard wood and thick metal.
Blade costCriticisedOwners note Milwaukee blades and accessories cost more than generic ones.
