I picked this up on the last deal. I use it a lot and really like it. Definitely a great tool. No dust collection but for quick light sands this works slick.

Home Depot deal yesterday for the non fuel got me interested in an m12 oscillating saw (I have the m18 and it's sometimes a bit unwieldy). The non fuel doesn't have toolless change, which is a no go for me, but I figured I'd jump on the next fuel deal -- didn't expect to see it so soon!
Got this and the 2x battery deal, no tax shipped to CA, afaict. Never bought from this vendor before, will see how it goes...

Waysource is gtg. I have the M12 Fuel version and I find the tool vibrates less in the hand versus the M18, surgical and precise. After using the M18 for any length of time, it feels like your hands are continuing to vibrate when done. With the M18 you spend more energy focusing on controlling the tool versus focusing on your cut, like it's trying to leave your hands. Maybe if you do a lot of sanding the M18 makes sense but you're probably going to use a sander instead.
M12 Fuel is the way to go for this tool. Oscillating tools aren't really about power so much as it is about fitting it in odd places, being comfortable using it (eg. Needing to hold it over your head to cut or intense vibration from larger ones), and precise cuts.
That said, this one is still plenty strong. If you find you need power the there is probably a different tool that's better for the job. Personally I find the sander attachments for all oscillating tools to produce poor finishes so I use one of the other M12 sanders instead.
