Milwaukee recently jumped into the oscillating multi-tool fray with a cordless model for their ever-expanding M12 line. At $150, it’s in the middle-priced category, sporting most of the features you’d expect: variable speed (5,000 to 20,000 orbits per minute) and an included universal adapter that allows you to use accessories from most major manufacturers.
The Milwaukee also offers a battery fuel gauge — a feature Toolmongers have mentioned as a positive in the past. Throw in an all-metal gearbox for durability and it sounds like this is a pretty slick tool for its price. Expect to pay around $150 for a two-battery-and-charger kit. Knowing Milwaukee, they’ll offer the bare tool soon. One of the M12 line’s selling points has always been expandability.
