Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tools
Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tools on Every Major Platform
A cordless oscillating multi-tool makes plunge cuts, flush cuts, scrapes, and sands in places a saw cannot reach, from door jambs to drywall. This collection covers four brands. Milwaukee offers the M18 FUEL 2836, the M12 FUEL 2526, and standard M18 and M12 models. DeWALT has 20V MAX XR 3-speed and standard models, an ATOMIC compact tool, and an XTREME 12V MAX. Makita offers the 18V LXT XMT03Z, the sub-compact brushless XMT04ZB, and the 12V max CXT MT01R1. The Festool Vecturo OSC 18 comes in BASIC and SET versions with a Systainer3.
What to Look For
- Blade interface. StarlockMax tools such as the Vecturo and XMT04ZB use Starlock accessories. Check fit before buying blades.
- Speed control. Variable and 3-speed models slow down for sanding and speed up for cutting.
- Size. 12V, ATOMIC, and sub-compact tools fit tighter spaces. 18V and 20V tools cut faster in hardwood and nails.

Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tools FAQ
Do multi-tool blades fit every brand?
No. Blade mounts vary by tool. Starlock, StarlockPlus, and StarlockMax blades fit tools with those mounts, and many universal blades fit older tool-free clamps. Check the mount on your tool before ordering blades.
Brushless or brushed multi-tool?
Brushless models such as the M18 FUEL, M12 FUEL, and DeWALT XR brushless tools run longer per charge and suit daily use. Brushed models cost less for occasional jobs.
