The Milwaukee 2836-20 is an 18V cordless oscillating multi-tool built for heavy cutting rather than light sanding. Its brushless POWERSTATE motor runs 10,000 to 20,000 OPM with a 4.2-degree oscillation angle, which Milwaukee rates as the fastest cut in its class, and vibration dampening keeps it among the smoothest tools of its kind. A 10-setting dial with Auto-Load, an integrated 180-degree LED and tool-free blade changes round it out. It suits tradespeople already on the M18 battery platform who cut hardwoods, nail-embedded wood and drywall; bare-tool buyers pay less but need a battery and charger.

Owners rate it highly, with 4.8 out of 5 from 30 ratings. They praise its cutting speed, low vibration and build, and most complaints center on the bare-tool packaging and its size next to smaller 12V tools.
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool is a cordless oscillating tool sold as a tool only, without a battery. It has a POWERSTATE brushless motor that runs at 10,000 to 20,000 OPM with a 4.2-degree oscillation angle. It is built for cuts such as large cuts through hardwoods and nail-embedded wood.
Vibration dampening technology reduces vibration across the whole tool. A 10-setting dial sets the speed for the job. The Auto-Load feature lets you start slowly for precise cuts, then ramps up to full speed once the tool is under load.
An integrated 180-degree LED light helps with visibility in low light. Blades change without tools. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence handles communication between the battery and the tool. The tool works with all M18 batteries.
