THIS is the Milwaukee M12 FUEL Oscillating Multi-Tool. Milwaukee actually announced this tool on the 3rd of this month, after leaking it in their PIPELINE signup site. But now that PIPELINE is out, we have a few new photos and video to show you.
As we’ve mentioned before, it’s the FUEL part of the the name that’s important, because that means unlike their previous Multi-Tools, this one benefits from their trifecta of power tool innovations. POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM battery pack and REDLINK PLUS, which allows the previous two to communicate on a higher level.
All of that translates into MORE POWER. We’re talking an aggressive oscillation angle of 3.9 degrees and 10,000 to 20,000 OPM, making it impossibly easy to complete plunge cuts, rip cuts, nail and grout removal, bolt cutting and more.
But Milwaukee isn’t just focusing on power, but on the biggest complaint of multi-tools since they hit the scene. Vibration. The game has always been to figure out how to cut down vibration to the handle, where we’re holding the thing. But Milwaukee claims that they’ve significantly reduced the vibration not just to the handle, but to the entire tool. In fact they claim their new 12V Multi-tool is the fastest and has the lowest vibration of ALL multi-tools.
It’s equipped with a variable speed dial, tool-free blade change and it’s backed up with a 3 year warranty. It’s a little over 11 inches long, and only weighs 2.3lb WITH and XC 4.0AH battery.
If this is the multi-tool you’ve been looking for, you can pick one up in September 2020 for $219 in a kit, or $149 as a bare tool. To get yours FIRST, head over to OhioPowerTool.com and place your pre-order.
