****THE M12 OSCILLATING TOOL HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM**** First, I have many M12 and M18 tools, as well as a few oscillating tools, including two M12 fuels(first and second gen) and one M18 fuel. I stopped using the M12 OMT because the inside battery housing will destroy batteries! The vibration will chew up the battery ear clips that allow it to snap into the housing. Once they start chewing, the condition only gets worse. It's been the same thing for both generations. Once the tabs start wearing out, that battery will no longer snap into the housing support, and will easily pop out under even the slightest stress or vibration. Been using the M18 ever since. I have too many good M12 to allow the m12 oscillating tool to destroy my batteries. I wish Milwaukee would develop a new battery clasp/mounting system for the M12 batteries.

Thanks for this one. This was the exact comparison I was looking for. Honestly, through my own research and accord I had already decided that the M12 would suit my needs. While heavy into the M18s, I also use DeWalt and Makita in their respective 18/20 volt lines as each have their own advantages in certain tools for me. This would be my first foray into the M12 platform so future battery purchases would be made and open up some inclusion opportunities for other m12 products. A multitool had previously been thought as something I could do without, like those years I thought the same about a sawzall which I cannot imagine not having now. I can see the advantage of having a multitool in certain situations on the builds/fabrications I do. I was in the process of purchasing the M18 version as a gift and had thought to ask the visiting Milwaukee rep about the comparison between the 12 and 18. His response was to look at me like I was stupid and walked away to do something else. Oh, well. Can't win 'em all or let someone else's bad day define mine, lol. To everyone at VCG and the viewing gang members, Merry Christmas and stay safe!

I see a lot of m12 owners so I’ll support my m18 guys. I got the m18 fuel and honestly I love it. The size actually doesn’t get in the way like you would expect. It’s also got the bigger light and the power is definitely there when you need it. I believe it was worth the money

The 12vfuel lines are the best on the market for class and out compete most 18v brushed and brushless. That being said the 18fuel lineups power is insane but the 12v delivers just enough plus the weight loss in tool size, makes the m12 the best to buy for me..except for a few tools here and there, hacksaw,vaccum etc

A reminder for content creators concerning work safety... Any tool with moving parts vibrates, even drills. But when it comes to things like jackhammering, using Multi tools or maybe flatting the ground with larger vibrating machines, or above all: the vibration tool no. 1: the concrete viber, vibrating the air out of fresh concrete, making it more compact. Thing is with vibrations, they are extremely dangerous. They damage your nerves if used for too long. Joints will also get fucked. I would simply like to see reviewers of tools like this take into aspect that if you use the tool for longer times, the less vibrations one is Always the winner. Also, dont forget that there are anti vibe gloves for tools like this as well! In many countries, there are established rules on how long and frequent certain tools may be operated by one person. You can't build if you're Dead. Safety first. Be safe and mindful out there, I am recovering from a snapped stretch joint in my thumb. Im a professional carpenter and I refuse to use this tool without rest for more than 30 m at a time, max 2 hours per Day. And even if the tools is used that frequently, something has gone wrong. All this said, this is DEFINETELY in my Top five favourite tool list as a pro. Peace

Really good comparison video, I’m all in on team red myself, so I did pickup the M12 Fuel OMT a few weeks ago, for pretty much the same reasons you came up with. Have the previous non fuel M18 but wanted the less vibration and higher speeds the fuel offerings had, as well as slightly more compactness. That and saving the $80 was nice too. Not disappointed at all with the M12 Fuel, a great tool to pickup. Now I just need to find a sale on the Milwaukee blades in that compact case!

Thanks for the comparison! I ordered the M18 since the bare tool was one sale for just $10 more than the M12 bare tool, I've seen others test the auto feature and it actually seems nice and I will just use my 3ah high output on it to save a bit of weight. But for me most importantly, because I have CECS syndrome in my right forearm, even if the vibration is marginally better, that's the tool I will buy.

Like commenter Tim, below, I am about to buy my first Milwaukee oscillating tool but had NO idea how to choose between the M18 and M12 versions. (I have both battery systems in other Milwaukee cordless tools.) Why the company makes no effort to explain the differences between these two configurations strikes me as unprofessional and irresponsible. Fortunately, you stepped up and did the job for them. For this amateur carpenter and his meager budget, the M12 is clearly the way to go. THANK YOU!

The M12 feels like it's more precise and is a little easier to use. I've been doing a lot of detail sanding with a 1.5 on it and it's pretty sweet. I'll need to get some more time on the M18 on some more challenging demo work to see what it's really about

Thanks for the video. Great info. One tid bit that I think was missed, or perhaps a no brainer, is that due to the high price of the batteries folks should consider buying the model that fits their current battery supply if shopping on a budget. I am personally stacked up with M18 batteries, so the M18 model will be my go to simply for that reason. I just replaced the my small battery pack for 89.00, and they only go up from there. It's all preference, but I personally don't want to travel down the 12v road of battery purchases to save 80.00 on a tool. For me, it would be a 9.00 hit based solely on the price of the small 89.00 battery. Thanks again for the great comparison video.

Super comparison, thanks. You confirmed my thoughts with real data. I replaced a Gen 1 M12 OMT with the M12 Fuel version and was amazed. I had ordered the M18 Fuel Gen 2 OMT but when it arrived, decided it wasn't likely to do much that the M12 couldn't do, and it was bigger and heavier, so I returned it. FWIW and without having actually used the M18 version, I wonder if it might be a little harder to control on detail cuts than is the M12 due to the increased angle of oscillation. On vibration, I wonder if the bigger battery is helping the M18 version to feel like it's vibrating less?

If you have a pile of M18 batteries and tools, the M18 can be the right choice. I went with the M8 for that reason.

I agree the M12 would be my choice. I wondered if by having 12v rather 18v i might miss out on performance from other tools in the Milwaukee range? I don't own any Milwaukee tools so hard to say.

Hi Vince, I had to give you an update. So I been using my Milwaukee m12 multi tool and I have to say I'm totally impressed. I been using it more then my Dewalt. Yes the vibration is way less on the Milwaukee m12. I do catch myself grabbing the button for the quick blade release that's on the Dewalt. I still like that one feature more. Everything else is awesome on the m12. Sadly I sold my Dewalt 😥.. I'm truly happy with the m12 multi tool. Just wanted to share. Michael C - (WA)

I have the Dewalt 20 volt and I've used a Milwaukee once, think it was the m18, and the m18 felt better to use. I own some m12 tools, and now I'm thinking of replacing my Dewalt. But I do like the quick blade change on the Dewalt.

@@acerjuglans383 Yes, that's quick change is one feature I like a lot on the Dewalt multi tool. I was going to get the Milwaukee m18 multi tool but I got the m12 version. The few reason I purchased the m12. It's slimmer on the handle, I can get into tighter spaces better. Especially when you use the slim battery 3.0ah. Plus it can stand up with the 6.0 ah battery. The m18 you alway have to lay it down. It's not bad but I like that I can stand it upright for my use. The m18 does have that cool slow start feature. When you put pressure on the cut it will increase the power. Thanks

Literally just bought the 18v fuel version, huge step up from the non fuel version I had but I wish I would have watched this video before I bought the 18v I probably would have bought the 12v version...

Vince could you try the m18 with a high output battery to see if it can use the better tech to create more power thanks buddy keep up the good work 👍🏻

Exactly what I was looking for, I was thinking that the M12 is a great tool at a decent price. M18 looks like a fantastic tool but pretty pricey. Curious of the performance difference between the two, this clinches it. Buying the M12. Thanks for the great videos.

I like your point Vince about the tool being easy to knock over same with drills if your working in a house lay your tools flat! Also with the m18 I like that the battery is at an angle or it would interfere with your wrist I feel.

Sitting at Home Depot this thanksgiving and looking at the specs I said f it and went with the m12 fuel, building our new shop and definitely needed it! Buddy brought over his m18 and came back the next day with the m12 lol! 110 or 120$ out the door with a case of cutters.. deal!

good review, I purchased the M12 Fuel bare tool with sanding disc and blade, I already had a M12 Fuel impack with both batteries and charger, I really like the M12 Oscillating tool, wished I'd got one sooner, it's so handy.

I have Makita 18V tools (hammer drill, power drill, saws, multi tool, etc) but Milwaukee is the only manufacturer currently offering a nice portable inox pipe cutter, something I need as a plumber. I don't want 1000 different types of batteries, so I'll use Makita LXT for the bigger tools and Milwaukee M12 for the more compact ones. So far I have an M12 pipe fitting press, the 3PL laser and the inox cutter. Awesome tools.

I appreciate the info and review man I have a cheap oscillating tool that I used for random plunge cuts etc but the vibration has gotten bad and recently purchasing the surge impact that came with the battery packs I was trying to decide on the m18 and m12 oscillating tool as my next purchase and it looks like I really don't need the extra auto feature and I never had a light on mine so that's just a bonus. Thanks man for the solid comparison.
