Does the 2836-20 come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Milwaukee M18 battery and charger you already own.

How fast does it oscillate?

The POWERSTATE brushless motor runs from 10,000 to 20,000 oscillations per minute with a 4.2-degree oscillation angle.

Can I change blades without a wrench?

Yes. It has a tool-free blade change, so you can swap accessories by hand.

Is it good for sanding and scraping?

Yes. It is built for cutting, scraping, sanding and plunge work, and the low vibration helps on longer sanding passes.

How does it compare with a corded multi-tool?

It trades the cord for M18 battery power and adds a brushless motor, higher oscillation speed and vibration dampening, but you must supply batteries.

About the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2836-20

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2836-20 is a cordless oscillating multi-tool for cutting, scraping, sanding, and plunge work. It has a POWERSTATE brushless motor that runs at 10,000 to 20,000 oscillations per minute with a 4.2 degree oscillation angle. Milwaukee calls out large cuts through hardwood and nail embedded wood.

A 10-setting dial sets the speed for the material and the cut. The Auto-Load feature starts the tool slowly for a more precise entry into the cut, then ramps up once the accessory is under load. Vibration dampening technology reduces full tool vibration, and the tool-free blade change lets you swap accessories without a wrench.

The housing is reinforced nylon. The tool is 12.17 inches long and weighs about 2.58 pounds bare, so it fits into tight spaces. An integrated 180 degree LED light helps in low-light areas. REDLINK PLUS intelligence manages communication between the tool and battery. This is a bare tool that works with all M18 batteries.
