Great vid bro! I am super excited to get one but I will be waiting for a sale. Perhaps this black friday? If only there were an awesome channel that post vids about tool deals.......LOL! keep up the great work VCG!
I love Milwaukee tools but the one tool I do miss from switching over from DEWALT is their oscillating tool. The squeeze handle blade change/adjustment was the best and way faster than anything else out there
@@erikhope8315 you can do that with the DeWalt as well. You just press the trigger and there's a lock switch on both sides to keep it on. Only thing is no speed control
@@HibatAllah never had a single problem with it being bulky, I am carpenter by trade and using it every day for last few years. And yes , I do like and use m18 tools everyday, and as much as I like most of them I do hate m18 oscillating tool, its not a good one
@@kerktam I guess everyone has their preferences. I too am a journeyman carpenter by trade and I've had my m18 for 5 plus years, works great for me, I can adjust the speed with a dial instead of trying to keep it there with my fingers on the trigger. I just used the Dewalt one a few days ago because I left mine at home..... hated it. The tool isn't bulky itself just the blade change mechanism that gets in the way in certain applications.
This thing is a freakin beast!!!!!! I just tried mine today for the first time and IT ATE THROUGH A COUPLE 2X4S BEFORE I COULD EVEN BLINK!!! I dont know what they did but this thing is the best one I have ever used. I was so shocked at how much power this has. The variable 12 speed absolutely kicks DeWalts 3 Speed Switch. So blade change may not be as quick as the DeWalt style but think about it, that style takes up more space and often gets in the way. Love your videos Vince, very informative. Thank you!
Love Milwaukee and Dewalt. I run both platforms. But I wish they went with the Starlock mounting system that Bosch and Fein has for they’re oscillating tools. It’s even faster, just push and it clicks in, and it’s solid.
I prefer this over the star lock. Replacement blades are significantly cheaper and I don’t mind an extra 5 seconds to change a blade. If you buy high quality blades you don’t have to change them often.
Vince, you were asking for Quick change blade oscillating tools, .Well , Bosch , Fein, Festool, Dewalt, Métabo HPT, skill , Makita 🙄🇫🇷👍.The Starlock system has been create by a collaboration between Bosch and Fein ( made in Germany)😉
Fein is fantastic. But the "new" Festool Vecturo oscillating tool (made by Fein) has some proprietary features, such as the plunge attachment for perfectly straight/square/plumb cuts. Only drawback is that Festool doesn't come with the delta sander attachment, although the Fein may fit - I plan to check into that.
Mark McNamara I read somewhere that the Festool Vecturos are actually rebranded and redesigned Fein models. Not just made by Fein, but actually their models if different skin. Make sense if you look at the construction and the tech specs. Just like Mufell colours in red, put their name on and sells Metabo drill drivers for three times the price.
I bought the dewalt a few years ago and absolutely love the way it feels and blade change is better! I switched to milwaukee for most tools , but still use the flexvolt tablesaw and grinder.
I have a bunch of Milwaukee tools that I love and they are all hand me downs from my husband (I use them way more!) but he just gave me this one last night and it’s a miracle!!! I am shocked at how many different things it can do. I learned from you how to use it, so thank you!!!
I'm a milwaukee guy for sure and have the previous gen of this tool with the stupid hex key blade change however the dewalt version thats been out for years is way better for blade change only pull a lever change the blade simple milwaukee gets that integrated in this tool and there will be no competition thanks for the vid Vince
I make miniatures (staircases, fences, lots of building and landscaping items mostly but furniture too!) AND I also restore and refurbish doll houses! The Milwaukee oscillating tool was just added to my inventory (thanks Boyfriend!) and it is BY FAR the best thing to ever happen to my workshop! A task that would have taken a couple of days to complete now is accomplished within a couple of hours IF THAT! I was using the 8200 series Dremel and the Milwaukee rotary tool previous to the oscillating tool and those are fabulous aids to my work, but this awesome apparatus blows them two completely out of the water!
Definitely buying it! Going to have to get some more foam to re-cut a Packout organizer to make a home for it. Great video, great channel. Have an awesome weekend all! 👍🏻👍🏻
Started with a ryobi multi tool. It worked. I used it every once in awhile for jobs nothing else would work for. Then I switched over to to the mileaukee system- the multi tool is now used constantly as it is so stupidly powerful!
My dad has Dewalt and I have Milwaukee so we don’t accidentally take tools from each other and don’t give them back. I love both but I like the blade release of the Dewalt over the Milwaukee. It’s probably like a patent issue or something
One of my favorite tools is my DeWalt oscillating tool. But I too have been buying up a lot of the 12v milwaukee. But DeWalt's blade change is superior in my opinion. Just squeeze the lever and change the blade. Never had one slip or anything.
I don't know. I preordered through Ohio Power Tool on the first of September. I assume the stores will have them around October 1st. That is supposed to be the official release date.
Picked one up a couple weeks ago for a bathroom renovation, within the first hour if use it earned the nickname - "The Magic Power Tool" because it does just about everything.
Dewalt has a better blade change mechanism. By far. It could be slightly modified to be more comfortable but it’s super fast. I feel like Milwaukee definitely has the ability to eliminate the need to unscrew that clamp for the blade. I’m not sure why they have it. I’ll probably pick one up at some point down the road as a cordless option to compliment my corded Dewalt.
Jordan I love mine. Sure a greater oscillation angle would be a great improvement, but with a good blade on it I can rip through 2by lumber no problem.
Yeah I have owned dewalt milwaukee makita rockwell ryobi. Most multi tools I have tried. Dewalt feels nice and cuts nice but only cuts nice if the blade is Sharp.
Tried this tool and returned in less than a week. * So out of a fully charged 2.0 CP battery got less than 14 minutes of runtime. *A pain to remove the battery to the point that there is a risk of breaking the battery clips. I can see you had the same issue.16:20 *Looks more like a M18 tool, older M12 was better ergonomically. Put in the large XC battery and it get heavier. *The area under the lever is easily exposed to dust and fine particles. Check inside you will see a part lubricated for smoothing out the release of blades. I will wait to try out the M18, but i see it is a beast in terms of size and big battery.
My first oscillator tool was the Ryobi 18 volt. When Milwaukee came out with their multitool the M12 was tool change and M18 was tool-free. So I went with M18, mainly because of my large M18 line, and two, the tool-free operation. I though the Ryobi was great until I replaced it with the Milwaukee. Wow, what a huge improvement in performance.
they both come from the same design department at Techtronic Industries which owns both tool companies as well as Rigid and Hoover and AEG and Dirt Devil and Homelite
@@coachjm310 True. Bur the Milwaukee is far smoother operating and has a wider swing of stroke which cuts much better. I am very happy with the Milwaukee.
@@coachjm310There's a myriad of channels here on YT that illustrate the performance differences between brands. Just because some of them share the same parent company means absolutely nothing. 11 years ago a friend of mine gave me a ryobi recip saw that couldn't cut through a piece of hardwood 2x4 with a new blade on it. My Milwaukee from the same time just cut through several inches of 1/2" thick steel last week. I travel the country installing corrugators, no one uses ryobi tools in this line of work for a reason, they are for playing house not making money.
just picked one up today, I love the new one compared to the old one, but my problem is ill carry both just cause the older one has been with me for awhile and has always did the job i needed to be done!!! DAMN you Milwaukee for making it better.
Dewalt's mul.titool is definitely a faster blade change. The Bosch multitool looks like it is as well. But the M18 FUEL (the one I have) is the better performing multitool (though I've never personally compared with Bosch, I DID compare with my buddy's Fein - which was the best multitool among all of my friends. Key word: WAS). This M18 FUEL is amazing. I also have the base M18 multitool and I hated using it.
Probably buy one but really looking forward to the M18 Fuel version. As to your question Vince, the Ridgid Octane multi-tool does have a quicker blade change.
Great review - I have this tool and really like it but it is not clear exactly what the quick change handle does - is it just to lock the head so you can unscrew the bold holding the blade?
Vince took awhile for me to get used to. I'm from a part of the country where a few words are usually enough. Now I love the guy, love the channel, and I'm getting the M12 multi.
I had the standard18 multitool i thought it was a beast until i tried the brushless fuel version . I couldnt believe the difference it blew my socks off with it awesomeness
Yes the lights are nice. But I always wear a headlight to compensate for the lack of said light. I have an M18 multi-tool. One of my favorites and in my opinion one of the greatest tolls ever created.
I am an apprentice plumber and like the idea of using this in tight spaces to cut pipe. I do quite a bit of hot tub plumbing repairs too that are usually in not so easy spaces. Hand tools have their place but something like this could speed up the work quite a bit
Got it on the 22nd. First oscillating tool I own have used the corded makita before. I was impressed when I unboxed and put it straight through some 2x4s great product will recommend.
@@chastblind7606 i believe 229 at the time but I don’t know if i got a lemon now a year later it has a little problem . It tends to shut off something with the power switch im in the processof warrantying it out . This is my m18 fuel model my m12 fuel never let me down
Vince, any blade that will cut threw 3 screws has got my vote. Imperial blades I believe had the first blades to do this or maybe it was Bosch. That is worth the price of one of those blades if you have to cut that screw and you cant cut it flush any other way. Good times my brother!!! Ps. Had some homemade Pesto with Fini Liguini and Nicks Sausage from the local market in my area in Maryland. Love the VCG!!!!
First question about things you first saw was dumb but turned out to work really good mine was lazers on saws. Sometimes your line goes away or is covered in saw dust but that lazer lets you keep on cutting. I like my 20v dewalt but if I was going with a 12v I think I'd pick Milwaukee. Back when I was a drywaller and metal stud framing I got the Bosch 12v impact, and it worked great and light weight but Milwaukee has alot more options now in 12v.
Vince, I appreciate these reviews and the detail you go into so much, I'm a tool maniac, that guy that gets excited when the bag gets opened and theres a new feature, I know it ain't much, but I never skip the ads , when I can i look forward to buying some merch too, you guys never dissapoint. Been with ya since the early days, before 10,000 subs, and really am happy to see you continue to grow closer to a mill now. CMD all day Baby! Rock on
Vince, I'm not a contractor. I'm not even a handyman. Yet, your thorough and animated review here convinces me to replace my current Milwaukee oscillating tool with the new "Fuel" version. -- Thanks for helping your audience to make informed purchase decisions. - JodyTucker | September 30, 2020
@VCG Constuction I just purchased this one today. Question - what blade would you recommend for cutting plaster with wood lathe for this tool? Gotta cut a bunch of registers out in a house in the ceilings plus the returns. Thanks. It's my first oscillating tool and can't wait to see the difference between this and my small sawzall I've used for previous plaster walls.
By the way Vince your boy Rob Robilar that tests all the different brands of saws, drills, impact guns etc. just did a review on battery chain saws. The Dewalt came in second over all and hopefully we can get a deal coming up on pre Black Friday or Home Depot Special Days. I was leaning towards the Milwaukee but since I have both platforms Rob liked the Dewalt a lot better and I don't care which way I go. I am very red but have some yellow too, LOL. Keep up the good work my brother.
I find myself buying all these tools just because if good deals, but most serve the exact same purpose. For example, i can do the same job with an impact driver, drill, or electric screwdriver. Cut OUT tool, cut OFF tool , sawzall, multi tool or hand saw lol
Yep, and that spring mechanism isn’t even exclusive to dewalt, craftsman and porter cable also use it. So I really don’t know what Milwaukee is doing here.
My first oscillator was the fen and the reason why I purchase that was because of the long extension cord that it came with but after using the fin oscillator the top clamp loosened pretty quickly which really started to affect how good the blade would stay in place that's why I ended up buying Milwaukee's M18 well Milwaukee come out with a brushless fuel version and the M18 or they might not even have to because of the technology and how good the M12 is
It does have a faster blade change but yes there's a but their quick blade change is so large and bulky don't know if other sanding pads will work on their platform
Dewalt is faster and I've used all blades and had no problems with it its better than the m18 multi-tool if dewalt came out with a 12v than you could compare the two
@@mitchchavez9082 that's so funny my buddy and I works together and he has Dewalt and I have Milwaukee and my M18 kicks he ass every single time we use them together, I had all Dewalt tools and sold them because another friend had Milwaukee and was always kicking my ass I've had ridgid, ryobe, Makita and Findley I started using Milwaukee and they have everything I need with greater results so I have M12 and M18 on two separate vehicles I'm a lot happier with my Milwaukee, but to each his own
@mister clean Actually Dewalt is manufactured by Black and Decker that also make Porter Cable and Stanley. Milwaukee ,ryobe and ridgid are manufactured together as far as I know I may be wrong. I will have to check on that.
I would probably buy this for just the sanding function... you think that would be a valid reason to? Or just stick with my 20v dewalt osc and get the sanding plate?
My brother and I did a lot of rehabbing mobile homes and we called it "the tool". We did some many things with it and used it so often we would just say "where is THE TOOL" or are you using "the tool?" Are you finished with "the tool". This is tool looks cool
For cutting screws or nails where I can't use a saw or grinder. I use an oscillating tooI I prefer a blade that is carbide tipped. Carbide tipped blades cut much faster and last much longer. You won't regret it.
Love the tool. I had got the old one as a free tool so it was a better option, then this one came out. But I have a question/request from Milwaukee. I want to use the tool to flush cut dowels in wood, but the bottom of any oscillating tool scrapes the wood, even though they say flush cut blade. I have filed/sanded down the bottom, but it makes the tool cut slower. A blade precision ground like a flush cut saw or like precision ground scroll saw blades would be great.
VCG Construction SO AM I. Sorry haven’t been around a lot; been dealing with some medical issues. Than on Friday, I ended up breaking my collar bone (clavicle). Would love to say it was from something cool; but it was from falling into a door 🤦🏼♂️ So, will definitely be taking things easy for next 6 weeks while heals, & hope by that time; I’m “better”. Been a rough year for a lot & sure will be glad when 2020 is over with😉 See Ya 👋🏻
I got this a few days ago. They added like some rubber where the battery slides into the tool to keep battery plastic from melting to the tool from vibration. Can make a bit difficult to remove battery but thats okay with me. Big improvement over the m18 version that was trash compared to this one. I feel like it has the same power if not more than the old m18 multitool.
Got one, it's a great tool, there is a tool on the market which is a really crappy Macallister tool sold in uk which has the same lever as the milwaukee but the centre pin is a 1/4 turn magnetic pin, so lever back to relieve pressure 1/4 turn pin lifts out, change blade, pin back in, magnetised so just pulls itself in, 1/4 turn to tighten, press lever back down to finally tighten, job done. thing is it is a mains operated tool and really noisy and doesnt have the same cutting angle. maybe they have a patent on it thats why milwukee can't use this method as it quicker as you dont have to unscrew the pin.
Shoutout from a German guy her ..Bosch, Fein,and Festool have the Starlock System, which i think is the most awsome bladechange! 👌 Metabos new 18V oscilating tool s gonna have it too 🤙
Yes these systems invented by Bosch & Fein, are one handed blade changing. You just push the tool down onto the top of the blade mount, one click and the blade is locked in place. The top leaver is just to release the blade. So far quicker than this Milwaukee screw down/ leaver operation, even with magnets. The starlock Max system is even more secure for even heaver duty corded versions. Sorry Vince these are far superior than the blade design and the locking /release on this machine. Have to say though that the power looks impressive for a 12V. Keep up the great reviews. A fan from England.

I love my milwaukee's but dewalts design is better
I dont like dewalts multi becuase of the trigger style switch. I like the ON/OFF style becuase you can hold it at a weird angle.
@Erik Hope this. A simple on off switch and a speed wheel is the best way to go. I like dewalts blade change but it's so big and clunky
@@delphinocasso81 Yea I wish you could combine the companies. Like them both.
@@erikhope8315 you can do that with the DeWalt as well. You just press the trigger and there's a lock switch on both sides to keep it on. Only thing is no speed control
14:44 DeWalt's Oscillating Tool has the fastest blade change on the market hands down it's not even close.
Agreed, also Dewalt is a lot nicer tool. I have all Milwaukee tools except oscillating tool. I have dewalt cause sadly m18 is not even close to dewalt
Dewalt fast changing mechanism is bulky and in the way sometimes. Ive used one a few times. Great tool just gets in the way sometimes.
@@HibatAllah never had a single problem with it being bulky, I am carpenter by trade and using it every day for last few years. And yes , I do like and use m18 tools everyday, and as much as I like most of them I do hate m18 oscillating tool, its not a good one

yeah, i use the dewalt 20v line everyday and the speed of blade changes on sawsall as well as multitool is pretty quick!
honestly one of the best things about newer tools is having the little LED light makes it so much easier to see.

The dewalt xr oscillating tool is pretty quick at blade changes. Just pull the lever down
Michael Hooks same with Milwaukee..Bosch just had the best star lock quick connect
Metabo have moved to the starlock system with their now OMT that will be coming out apparently 🤷🏼♂️

Tired of tools getting pushed back cuz of corona
Has anyone had trouble with M12 and the battery loosing contact and the tool shutting off during use? Happens quite often with my old multi tool.
Dewalt blade change is absolutly phenomenal the tool pretty much is still vibrating and you can change the blade

I am a DIYer and bought the dewalt oscillating, vibrates more than I expected but I have no complains. So far I like it
Just ordered mine a couple of days ago. Excited even more now after seeing this. 👍
Vince took awhile for me to get used to. I'm from a part of the country where a few words are usually enough. Now I love the guy, love the channel, and I'm getting the M12 multi.
Milwaukee magnet magic! I agree. Magnets make a huge different with repeat work. I dig magnets.
They did a good job with that addition!
I had the standard18 multitool i thought it was a beast until i tried the brushless fuel version . I couldnt believe the difference it blew my socks off with it awesomeness
I’m excited for mine I ordered a impact driver and multi tool combo ..Just the start of my m12 collection
Omg, Vince is so excited. Like a kid in a candy store.
Got it! Love it! My buddy has 18V. We worked same scraping job. His was very warm and heavier.
Yes the lights are nice. But I always wear a headlight to compensate for the lack of said light. I have an M18 multi-tool. One of my favorites and in my opinion one of the greatest tolls ever created.
A comparison to the older version would have been really helpful for those that own the old one, and want to know if it is worth it to upgrade.

Got it on the 22nd. First oscillating tool I own have used the corded makita before. I was impressed when I unboxed and put it straight through some 2x4s great product will recommend.
What did you pay. it's on sale for 179 right now wondering if price is worth it
@@chastblind7606 i believe 229 at the time but I don’t know if i got a lemon now a year later it has a little problem . It tends to shut off something with the power switch im in the processof warrantying it out . This is my m18 fuel model my m12 fuel never let me down
Got one of these kits for 178$ best tool I have bought. Just as powerful as my corded multitool, and it allows me to use the 12v tools now.
Just got the m18 version yesterday. Most useful tool I’ve ever owned.
I am impressed with the power the tool has. I agree that Milwaukee blades are very good.
Vince, any blade that will cut threw 3 screws has got my vote. Imperial blades I believe had the first blades to do this or maybe it was Bosch. That is worth the price of one of those blades if you have to cut that screw and you cant cut it flush any other way. Good times my brother!!! Ps. Had some homemade Pesto with Fini Liguini and Nicks Sausage from the local market in my area in Maryland. Love the VCG!!!!
First question about things you first saw was dumb but turned out to work really good mine was lazers on saws. Sometimes your line goes away or is covered in saw dust but that lazer lets you keep on cutting.
I like my 20v dewalt but if I was going with a 12v I think I'd pick Milwaukee. Back when I was a drywaller and metal stud framing I got the Bosch 12v impact, and it worked great and light weight but Milwaukee has alot more options now in 12v.
YES they needed this for shure the only tool i burn through is the oscillator now they have the fuel thank you Milwaukee
Man, Every time I see that M12 Cable Cutter, I get chills. That thing is a beast, I rip through 750 MCM All DAY with that thing...
Kool video.... Black Friday is just around the corner. XD Thanks for sharing.
Not a bad blade swap system to me fein still takes the cake on the blade swap
Vince, I appreciate these reviews and the detail you go into so much, I'm a tool maniac, that guy that gets excited when the bag gets opened and theres a new feature, I know it ain't much, but I never skip the ads , when I can i look forward to buying some merch too, you guys never dissapoint. Been with ya since the early days, before 10,000 subs, and really am happy to see you continue to grow closer to a mill now. CMD all day Baby! Rock on
I don't think watching the ads helps anyone lol they still get paid by views not amount of ads watched
Yes I want one. Just bought the old one. They do work well.
Bosch Starlock Plus is the quickest blade change. Along with the most firm grip on the blade.
The fastest saw blade change is the Bosch GOP 18v-EC with the Starlock Plus system
Dewalt has it too
Craftsman Bolt-On system is technically the fastest.
Dewalts multi tools blade change is definitely superior but it definitely stoked to upgrade my m12 multitool!!!
Dewalt is junk though.
Vince, I'm not a contractor. I'm not even a handyman. Yet, your thorough and animated review here convinces me to replace my current Milwaukee oscillating tool with the new "Fuel" version. -- Thanks for helping your audience to make informed purchase decisions. - JodyTucker | September 30, 2020
I'm much like you, just work ony own house and outbuildings. As much as I love this new tool my old one would last 10 lifetimes as much as l use it.
Glad iv found your channel. Iv just started to upgrade my tools . Iv been buying Milwaukee. Bought a multi tool yesterday
I like those clean cuts! Go Milwaukee M12 Fuel Oscillating Multi Tool! Already have a 4AH battery and a Mutli-Volt Charger.
Heck yeah!!!
Much better than that neon green excrement that the Homeless Despot sells!!!!
😂😂💩
I'm not even an "older fella" but i got a precision screwdriver handle with an LED in it and that thing changed my life.
Respect for keeping it teal with the charger bud. automatic new subscriber
Me. Very young kid*
Becomes aware of the level with a light*
Me: I gotta have that
Sounds like you've been illuminated!
He's got a bright future, for sure.
VCG Construction Has there been any word of Milwaukee moving UltraView LED lighting over from Empire to their RedStick levels?
@VCG Constuction I just purchased this one today. Question - what blade would you recommend for cutting plaster with wood lathe for this tool? Gotta cut a bunch of registers out in a house in the ceilings plus the returns. Thanks. It's my first oscillating tool and can't wait to see the difference between this and my small sawzall I've used for previous plaster walls.
By the way Vince your boy Rob Robilar that tests all the different brands of saws, drills, impact guns etc. just did a review on battery chain saws. The Dewalt came in second over all and hopefully we can get a deal coming up on pre Black Friday or Home Depot Special Days. I was leaning towards the Milwaukee but since I have both platforms Rob liked the Dewalt a lot better and I don't care which way I go. I am very red but have some yellow too, LOL. Keep up the good work my brother.
Rob is a solid person, I trust his judgment!! 👍🏻
Mine was delivered yesterday. can't wait to get it out to work! Seems like an angry little devil with a 6.0 battery on it!!
Mine was at my local UPS hub yesterday, but they didn't put it on the truck for some reason. Gotta wait until tomorrow.
Dam bro that sucks! For some reason whenever a tool is coming that im pumped for there is always some kind of delay.
Yeah. This will be my first multi tool, so there is a bit of extra excitement there.
Did they fix the issue of the battery falling out? That’s the only thing keeping me from getting it
Battery has a tight fit on this model!
Yes they added some rubber where battery slides in tool can be a bit tough to get out now but I'm good with that
Great to hear! I just ordered one!
Cool tool
I use Fein, but the one I what to play around with is the 18V Bosch multi tool. It's a beast.
Thank you Vince. Very well presented video.
Have you tried Fein Super Cut? 4% oscilating angle, less vibration - and faster than the Bosch 18V..
How does it compare to the brushed 18v....just curious
I find myself buying all these tools just because if good deals, but most serve the exact same purpose. For example, i can do the same job with an impact driver, drill, or electric screwdriver. Cut OUT tool, cut OFF tool , sawzall, multi tool or hand saw lol
I'm listening Vince!
If the 12 is like that I cant wait until the 18 comes out.
"Beastmode"!
You already know it cuz!
Any word on when the m18 is coming out i need it for a project
Been waiting on it to come out
Maybe somebody already mentioned it but the dewalt oscillating tool has the quickest blade change, IMO. Tough to beat that spring loading mechanism!
Yep, and that spring mechanism isn’t even exclusive to dewalt, craftsman and porter cable also use it. So I really don’t know what Milwaukee is doing here.
My first oscillator was the fen and the reason why I purchase that was because of the long extension cord that it came with but after using the fin oscillator the top clamp loosened pretty quickly which really started to affect how good the blade would stay in place that's why I ended up buying Milwaukee's M18 well Milwaukee come out with a brushless fuel version and the M18 or they might not even have to because of the technology and how good the M12 is
Got mine yesterday vince, I love it. 😀
I believe Dewalt's oscillating tool has a faster blade change but at the price of bulk.
It does have a faster blade change but yes there's a but their quick blade change is so large and bulky don't know if other sanding pads will work on their platform
Dewalt is faster and I've used all blades and had no problems with it its better than the m18 multi-tool if dewalt came out with a 12v than you could compare the two
@@mitchchavez9082 that's so funny my buddy and I works together and he has Dewalt and I have Milwaukee and my M18 kicks he ass every single time we use them together, I had all Dewalt tools and sold them because another friend had Milwaukee and was always kicking my ass I've had ridgid, ryobe, Makita and Findley I started using Milwaukee and they have everything I need with greater results so I have M12 and M18 on two separate vehicles I'm a lot happier with my Milwaukee, but to each his own
@mister clean Actually Dewalt is manufactured by Black and Decker that also make Porter Cable and Stanley. Milwaukee ,ryobe and ridgid are manufactured together as far as I know I may be wrong. I will have to check on that.
I like how dewalt has the multi variable speed on the trigger
Love mine so far been using it since Friday! Blade change is real smooth and its awesome Milwaukee included magnets to hold it in there.
You're gonna like it don! Thanks for the feedback general!
M12 is God's gift to doing drywall
I would probably buy this for just the sanding function... you think that would be a valid reason to? Or just stick with my 20v dewalt osc and get the sanding plate?
My brother and I did a lot of rehabbing mobile homes and we called it "the tool". We did some many things with it and used it so often we would just say "where is THE TOOL" or are you using "the tool?" Are you finished with "the tool". This is tool looks cool
I love dewalt but milwaukee brings new tools out almost every month!
That's why we make so many Milwaukee videos, they seem to be the only power tool company that are innovating right now.
@@VCGConstruction keep up the great work
For cutting screws or nails where I can't use a saw or grinder. I use an oscillating tooI I prefer a blade that is carbide tipped. Carbide tipped blades cut much faster and last much longer. You won't regret it.
Got to have the right blade for the job!
Love the tool. I had got the old one as a free tool so it was a better option, then this one came out. But I have a question/request from Milwaukee. I want to use the tool to flush cut dowels in wood, but the bottom of any oscillating tool scrapes the wood, even though they say flush cut blade. I have filed/sanded down the bottom, but it makes the tool cut slower. A blade precision ground like a flush cut saw or like precision ground scroll saw blades would be great.
Nice vid Vince, do gotta say, Bosch X-Lock might be faster; but that’s ok.......cuz this looks like a BEAST😉
Have a good one✌🏼
I’m impressed so far Aepek! 👍🏻
VCG Construction SO AM I.
Sorry haven’t been around a lot; been dealing with some medical issues. Than on Friday, I ended up breaking my collar bone (clavicle). Would love to say it was from something cool; but it was from falling into a door 🤦🏼♂️
So, will definitely be taking things easy for next 6 weeks while heals, & hope by that time; I’m “better”. Been a rough year for a lot & sure will be glad when 2020 is over with😉
See Ya 👋🏻
I'm still stoked on the cardboard & plastic!!
I got this a few days ago. They added like some rubber where the battery slides into the tool to keep battery plastic from melting to the tool from vibration. Can make a bit difficult to remove battery but thats okay with me. Big improvement over the m18 version that was trash compared to this one. I feel like it has the same power if not more than the old m18 multitool.
Got one, it's a great tool, there is a tool on the market which is a really crappy Macallister tool sold in uk which has the same lever as the milwaukee but the centre pin is a 1/4 turn magnetic pin, so lever back to relieve pressure 1/4 turn pin lifts out, change blade, pin back in, magnetised so just pulls itself in, 1/4 turn to tighten, press lever back down to finally tighten, job done. thing is it is a mains operated tool and really noisy and doesnt have the same cutting angle. maybe they have a patent on it thats why milwukee can't use this method as it quicker as you dont have to unscrew the pin.
The Fein oscillating multi tool had a quick tool blade change for the last ten years. There was no tool needed.
Great looking tool I'll be purchasing one soon since I have recently invested in the m12 fuel line.
Multi-tool is must have. ( and a grinder too ! )
I love mine!!!… went through 3 ryobi units… this one doesn't get as hot over extended use and cuts through great
Shoutout from a German guy her ..Bosch, Fein,and Festool have the Starlock System, which i think is the most awsome bladechange! 👌
Metabos new 18V oscilating tool s gonna have it too 🤙
Yes these systems invented by Bosch & Fein, are one handed blade changing. You just push the tool down onto the top of the blade mount, one click and the blade is locked in place. The top leaver is just to release the blade. So far quicker than this Milwaukee screw down/ leaver operation, even with magnets. The starlock Max system is even more secure for even heaver duty corded versions. Sorry Vince these are far superior than the blade design and the locking /release on this machine. Have to say though that the power looks impressive for a 12V. Keep up the great reviews. A fan from England.
We had to do cut a 3 inch pvc pipe with wire inside and the oscillating tool came in handy.
