Milwaukee M18 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool: The Ultimate Jobsite Tool
Why Pros Love the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool
The 2836-20 is powered by Milwaukee’s M18 FUEL platform, delivering up to 20,000 OPM (oscillations per minute) with a brushless motor. That means faster cuts, cleaner finishes, and less time struggling with tough materials.
A convenient 10-speed dial lets you match the tool’s speed to your material—slow for detail sanding, fast for plunge cuts. The tool’s vibration control system keeps your hands comfortable, even during those longer jobs.
Milwaukee’s tool-free blade change system is a true time-saver. Swap out blades and accessories in seconds, without fumbling for a wrench or hex key.
A built-in LED illuminates your work area, making it easier to see what you’re doing in tight spaces or low-light conditions.
