Milwaukee 18V Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool Just $99 Shipped on HomeDepot.com (Regularly $229)

Very smooth, easy to change blades, and it will take other manufacturer’s blades. It feels like a “tool” not a toy. If you use it a lot, you will need two batteries. So far I love it!

I have used the M12 version for years but battery life tended to be a problem. The M18 version solves this problem. I am currently using it to remove 100+ year old fir flooring. The walls are mounted to the flooring, so I have to cut it at the walls to put in the new flooring. I also have to cut the nails holding the flooring down, as I need to reuse some of it to patch other areas. This tool is doing a great job. I have seen in other reviews that some people have a problem with the screw coming loose in use, or having to use tools to get the screw tight. I wonder if they are using the release lever correctly. The lever moves freely until it is about 170 degrees. Then you encounter resistance. But you have to continue until the lever has moved 180 degrees. Doing this, I have not had the screw come loose, and I only tighten it hand tight. No tools needed. I have cut multiple 10 penny nails at a time and never had a problem.

Great quality and hard-working tool from Milwaukee. I’ve used this for cutting screws and nails, tons of sanding, cutting window trim, cutting baseboard, 3/4″ hardwood plywood,1/4″ hardwood plywood, stud grade pine, and 4/4 Soft Maple. The supplied blade works very well with wood, cuts through window sills like butter, makes quick work of baseboard trim, and sands very well. I used this to sand hard-to-reach areas in cabinets and doors I made and it made the process so much faster. It is a bit noisy, especially on the higher power settings and because it is not a brushless motor, it does get hot after a lot of use (got quite hot after cutting through 40+ exterior deck screws). I like that this is a bare tool option because it is a relatively cheap addition to the M18 tools that I have. I’m very happy I got this tool and have found many uses for it that I was not expecting. I would like to see this offered in a brushless motor like other brands have.
