From his dad, he was able to learn irrigation, landscaping, car maintenance, basic electrical, and more. I have the M18 Fuel blower, and it works great for outside cleaning. Powerful, light, and much quieter than my old corded Skil saw. I have the M18 fuel 6 1/2' circular saw and absolutely love it. I really like my M18 stuff for heavy work, and my M12 screwdriver is one of my favorite tools. In fact, Kenny still uses several pieces that his grandfather made more than 30 years ago.Īt home, Kenny’s dad made the family budget stretch further by doing many DIY repairs around the house. I really like the M18/M12 combination of tools. Building everything from bookshelves to lazy Susans, he became extremely accomplished while his young grandson observed, fascinated at the way raw wood could turn into something both beautiful and functional. His grandfather was an airplane mechanic in WW2 and took up woodworking as a hobby after retiring from the power industry. Kenny’s life around power tools started early.

While that might not sound like a direct line into the power tool industry, his analytical and scientific mindset help him design repeatable testing methods for Pro Tool Reviews’ head-to-head testing and offer highly objective comparisons in his reviews. The kit comes with a 5.0Ah battery bringing the weight to 4.18 lbs, but we prefer using a 3.0Ah High Output pack to lighten and shorten things up a bit. Of course, that all changes once you put the battery on. At 2.56 pounds, it’s only a few ounces heavier than the M12 Fuel. Both of the fuel version are among the best oscillating tools available. But if looking at the m18 only fuel would be the way to go IMO. Guess it depends on the primary application. The M12 is lighter and less bulky than the M18 which allows for more precision and control. Way better and faster than a traditional rotary tool that I’ve used in the past and less dust. I would opt for the m12 fuel version before the m18 non fuel personally. Used an M12 oscillating tool the other day to cut in an electrical box. The bare weight is pretty manageable, too. 20,000 vs 18,000 OPM Less vibration in the fuel I believe fuel has a wider cutting stroke as well but I can’t find it offhand.

It shares a very similar barrel grip design that’s narrower and more comfortable to use than models from Bosch or Fein. The design of the Milwaukee M18 Fuel oscillating multi-tool doesn’t stray far from the M12 Fuel’s.
