Our take on the RIDGID 18 Volt Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool (Tool Only)

The RIDGID R86241 is a bare-tool 18V oscillating multi-tool with a brushed motor that runs up to 20,000 oscillations per minute and a 3.2-degree swing. A variable-speed dial sets the pace, and a tool-free blade change saves time between cuts. It cuts drywall, wood and metal, and at 2.38 lb it is light enough for overhead work. It is sold without battery or charger, so it only makes sense for someone already on the RIDGID 18V platform. Rivals in the class often add brushless motors and lower vibration; this one keeps it simple and light.
