Community Reviews
Milwaukee's M12 FUEL oscillating multi tool stands out for compact cutting power, especially in tight spaces and metal work. The kit price looks strong because it includes the charger and two 5.0 amp hour batteries, and the included blades and sanding accessories make it more complete than expected. The main knocks are vibration and sanding performance, with some comparing it less favorably on comfort and size than hoped. Battery retention on high vibration tools can also be finicky, though a simple tape shim fix is described. A solid compact setup if you want the batteries and charger bundled in.
The deal can be strong if you already need M12 batteries and a charger, since the kit price is described as near-best compared with other recent purchases.
The kit packaging can include the blade plus a sanding pad and papers, which reduces the need to buy attachments immediately.
The tool can cut electric strikes into commercial steel door frames effectively, which supports practical use for metal cutting jobs.
The M12 FUEL platform may offer less vibration than a DeWalt multi-tool, which can improve comfort during oscillating work.
The oscillating multi-tool can perform poorly for sanding, making it a weak choice for sanding-focused tasks.
The kit contents may vary by packaging, so checking the box is important because batteries can be packaged in the tool-only box rather than a single 2-pack package.
The M12 battery retention system can be vulnerable to vibration, with clips wearing out and batteries potentially disconnecting or falling out.
The M12 version may not feel meaningfully smaller or lighter than an M18, and it can have a less comfortable handle that leads to returns.

Had to wait a couple weeks but got it a little over a week ago. Probably the best price for the foreseeable future - this price isn't terrible if you need it, and a couple 5AH batteries.
