What is Better? Milwaukee or DeWalt Multi Tool?

- This is a quick and dirty tool review discussing MY thoughts on the two oscillating tools I own from the to big tool brands everyone always asks me about. By no means does this mean one of these two are the best...just the most popular it seems based on peoples feedback.
Feel free to give me your opinion in the comments or recommend the next toolsday tools to talk about....but don't make it about red vs yellow.
I don't want to over complicate these "tool reviews" so by making them quick and to the point, I hope I help someone answer any questions they might have. These are only my opinion and you are able to develop your own if you've used both. Most tools these days don't come down to performance in my opinion, rather ergonomics and what the rest of your tool collection looks like.

Tried using a reciprocating saw in tight areas czcams.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI and it wasn't making the cut. Bought this oscillating tool and now I can make cuts in places that I couldn't with the reciprocating saw. Best tool for the job!
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete czcams.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

FYI: You can lock the DeWALT trigger on so it can be used without holding it down.
Was gonna say the same thing
Totally right my bad
Also a good thing when you leave the battery in the tool so it won’t accidentally run when stored. Had that happen before.
YES was just gonna say lol
Does its lock at desired speed?
First time I used the Milwaukee I gasped 'holy shit' because of how quick and easily it did the cut. I was even more so impressed that it did it without vibrating my hands at all or ringing my ears even in the slightest. I usually dread having to use a multitool because of the awful sound they make and the vibration, but the Milwaukee is actually fun to cut with.
Excellent review. No fluff just crisp info. Love that you don’t waste time and give me the straight skinny.
When using this type of tool you are supposed to use it at a slight angle so the blade can evacuate the sawdust from the area. If you go straight down as he demonstrates the blade can't remove the dust and can no longer make any more progress because the teeth of the blade are filled with compacted dust. The reason the Milwaukee succeeded is because of the extra angle the blade rotates, this allows the tool to evacuate dust better but still not as efficient as just holding the tool slightly at an angle so it can properly remove the dust from the area.
The guy acts like it can’t plunge cut. Yah right buddy. You going to tell me it doesn’t plunge cut, hahahahahahaha nice try.
Nice try 😂
*The 3 speed is good **MyBest.Tools** trying to keep to a low speed for a long time with just the trigger is hard.The only negative is I keep bumping the on/off switch when changing blades, not dangerous but annoying.*
I own a DeWalt, but I have a Milwaukee in my work truck. They both do the job when I need them.
I've used both. Dewalt is loud, vibrates a lot, and gets hot. Trigger allows more precise starts in fine carpentry. I like to use the Milwaukee for rough carpentry long hours usage. Not having a trigger makes it hard for real precise carpentry/fabrication
Possibly the best disclaimer I've heard ... being so upfront makes your opinions a hell of a lot more valuable than most other channels. 👍
Too many other channels just read the vendors preprinted script. And it sounds as fake as all heck.
I have both but the Dewalt with the trigger and quick release make it hella nice. Personal preference. Both are cool.
I prefer the dewalt over the milwuakee (multi tool specific) if seems to fit better in my hands and it’s quicker to change/rotate the blade. They definitely both blow the ridgid multitool out of the water! I carry four different brands, to have each specific tool that i like the best. Yes, i have to carry four chargers around, and have extra batteries in each brand, but i have a very custom collection, and in my opinion, i have the best of every tool.
super sweet quick vid man .. like these a lot! great channel you guys have here, thanks for making them
Been running the DeWalt this season as I already had a slew of them. Did get a little sore from the vibration but being able to flip the blade around when working in tight places was a huge time saver. Impressed by the Milwaukee's plunge speed though.
I have both. The Dewalt is my fave. The Milwaukee has a stupid angle so it can't stand up on the battery. The Milwaukee (18) just feels awkward to me and my crew. Great Video as always!!
I find having the trigger is a huge plus . Same with a jig saw .. you can release your finger the second you want the blade to stop cutting as opposed to having to reach over and turn the tool off
I use the DeWalt for trimming fiberglass laminates and find that the low power (light trigger) while plunging; keeps it from marring an area by skipping around, then I can go full power for the cut. Different functionality gets different market share for these tool manufacturers.
This was one of the best hardware reviews I've ever seen. To the point and with usage example.
it was terrible. he deliberately left out multiple features of the products that are decision making features. the guy is clearly a Milwaukee fan boy if you watch his other crap videos. he LOVES his Chinese tools.
ergonomics and quick change feature on the Dewalt is why I went with them for their multitool. I've used it a ton a love it.
Great review! To the point, and no ridiculous over the top reviewer👍🏼
One of the first things I was told in carpentry, let the saw do the work. That was my mentor when I was much younger, watching me using only 50% of the the teeth on the saw to do a cut, instead of longer strokes to use more of the teeth for an easier cut.
The Milwaukee vibrates less in part because the longer movement requires less changes in direction for the blade. Over 4mm compared to 1.6mm means the DeWalt is changing direction more than double the number of times, so vibrates more.
I use the DeWalt as I run all DeWalt tools, so batteries is the deciding factor.
Keep up the great content, always a good watch, especially during lock down!
The 1.6 refers to degrees as in a sweep. My guess is it is a larger stepper motor.
I own the M18 Batetry Platform...
The new Milwaukee designs includes greater vibration dampening of the motor and oscillating mechanism. My M12 Fuel is very smooth with very little vibration compared to my Dewalt and Makita multi-tools. They all work, but I reach for the Milwaukee the most.
I had the Milwaukee. Overtime dust gets into the variable speed dial ultimately leaving it stuck in just one position. It's a hassle to clean properly after the finer dust gets in there. The quick change too in the Dewalt, which I now have, is so much better and the plunging is easily off set with slight back and forth motions of your hand to achieve the same results as the Milwaukee.
That's good to know that you just have to do additional steps with the DeWalt to get what the Milwaukee can do automatically
Just returned the 3rd Milwaukee backpack sprayer due to leaking. WTF. So far the Scotts battery powered garden sprayer has been better the Milwuakee. Who have thought.@@LegalAmerican4
Spot on review! Used both tools yesterday at a jobsite, side by side.. Same task and MILWAUKEE wayyyyy out performed the plunge cut.. The vibration in the Milwaukee is almost
non-existent while the DEWALT has an intense amount of hand fatigue as well as a very hot handle after several minutes of use. The Milwaukee blade change is trash on this I will say.. I am a DEWALT user but this one underperformed Milwaukee no doubt. Again excellent review.
Committed to Milwaukee for years. Satisfied.
00:47 the Milwaukee has a sick beat to it
I am a milwaukee guy but Dewalts quick change is pretty nice
Sure is
@@RRBuildings I'm just a weekend diy, but I don't find myself changing blades that often that it's makes it a deal breaker. I've used both, like the feel and power of the Milwaukee better. The quick change is nice, but I pick a blade and end up using it most of the day!
It’s the only dewalt tool I own and I got it for the trigger and the quick change. I wonder if the auto mode would provide the same functionality
Easily its best feature.
Same here I'm mostly milwaukee and i have gen 1 m12 multitool. I used the new (the one in video) DeWalt that my father-in-law has and I had to have it. The multispeed trigger and that amazing quick change mechanism its what sold me. I used to have Milwaukee jigsaw and the hold down sucked ass. I now have Brushless DeWalt jigsaw and their blade holding mechanism is amazing just like this multitool. Thanks for great video!
Terrific review. Please do more reviews like this.
I bought the Milwaukee tool 6 months ago and it works well. I have all Milwaukee batteries so that was the main reason I bought that brand.
I think it depends on your use case. If you want full control of the cuts and don't plan using the tool for long hours at a time then the Dewalt is probably perfect for that. If you don't need full control of the cuts you make but you need to do long hours using a tool to get the job done and worry about injury due to vibration or RSI's then the Milwaukee would be perfect for that. If your older and suffer chronic hand pain and need to get the job done regardless of how long it will take then Milwaukee. I plan on buying the Milwaukee and put it in the same bag as the Dewalt because that will give me complete control over which one to use for what job. So in short Dewalt is good for precision over power in a short time frame, and the Milwaukee is good for longterm use if you want to avoid injuries over time, plus it has the raw power (lots of it) for all types of jobs that the Dewalt might struggle on. Another way to put it is the Dewalt is a DIY'rs dream tool, and the Milwaukee is a Professional's dream tool. You can use both professionally, but they both have their pros and cons. I rather have both of them so I can choose for myself since its a tool I use a lot.
Your tool match ups are the best on CZcams. I like your professional opinion and demonstrating the differences.
Great info comparison, also great comment section, thanks. Very helpful since my day job the company supplies all Milwaukee and I'm Dewalt in my shop and I need one👍👍👍👍
Fantastic video brother!!!!
As a full time Construction Superintendent with a large company a and life time Hands-on Handyman, I totally agree with you that Milwaukee has a much better set up than Dewalt and many other competitors. However, both are top notch equipment, whatever the tool type. This is why I own both brands just in case🤙🏼😃
My wife hates to see me walk into Home Depot 🤣😂 or shopping online for tools.
Anyways, thank you for all the hard work you do out there so inspections don’t fail, for taking care of your customers and especially for these videos that bring inspiration and motivation to all of us that watch them.
You’re a young man but ancient in building wisdom my brother!!!!!
Keep it up🙏🏼🤙🏼💪🏼
Kyle is awesome isn't he? He just seems to have his shit together like few others. He is a perfect example of how you can still succeed in this country if you want it bad and work your ass off.
I use the M12 version of the Milwaukee. It kicks ass when you need it to, and is defo a great tool.
I work with a ton of Makita loyalists they're indifferent to my Milwaukee impactor and drill but they absolutely love my Milwaukee multi tool.
Ive got a couple of the Dewalts and I find in wood, they need the blades with bigger teeth(lower TPI) count to cut faster ! And it also has a trigger lock.
The dewalt has a lock for the trigger, so you can actually hold it how ever you want, funny how you didnt notice that, in your hand. The variable speed is so much nicer, than having to try and fumble for a speed setting, that breaks over time, like my M12 did.
the moment I saw you use Auto, my jaw dropped and now I'm warming up my truck to head to my HomeDepot
Ha nice! Same
Good review man. I like the disclaimer at the end.
Man I was going to buy one this weekend. Thank you!!!!!
Love the videos. Keep them coming
Great video. Nothing like a real world comparison.
Great comparison video! I’m looking for a multi tool and I have both Milwaukee batteries and charger a DeWalt battery and charger so I could go either way ...this helps
I’m a recent subscriber and this is one of the best channels I watch!
Thank you
Nice honest review. You hit the nail on the head when you talked about battery platform. Also that quick change on the dewalt is exactly the same as my corded porter cable. The same as mac and Stanley and crapsman which is all TTI.
Stanley Black+Decker owns the brands Dewalt and Porter-Cable. And Kobalt, Craftsman, and probably others. So Dewalt’s quick release is copied from PC. Darn incestuous. yeah, TTI owns Milwaukee tools, made in China. But all are good tools
I have the Metabo model CV18DBLQ5 cordless 18vt oscillating tool and it is similar to the Milwaukee in many features and in design. It is my go-to buzz saw. Low vibration. Like the Milwaukee, the Metabo has the auto feature and it plunges better than my old corded buzz saw, which I will not mention. I have upgraded all my cordless tools to the Metabo HPT line. I came from the old Hatchi line of cordless and corded tools. That is where I started my upgrading.
Thanks Kyle. Good honest review. I'm a Makita guy myself. 👍😁
Thanks. Makita is good stuff
I’ve gone through 2 of these dewalt xr multi tools in 2 years, going to give this power beast from Milwaukee a shot
Sensational comparison video. I was trying to decide between both units and I think the Milwaukee is the superior multi tool for my needs thanks brother :)
Great video, helped me make a decision on which one to buy. Thanks man. 🙂
many thanks to you for an exceptionally well done demonstration, superb detail illustrating of each tools design features. I am contemplating buying one or the other of these tools at this time. I have to say though, that I learn probably much more from reading all the comments. In this case there is no clear consensus of which tool is better. It is pretty much a matter of personal tastes of each user....compelling arguments for and against a tool come down to subjective valuations and I suppose that will always be the case. For me, I value less vibration, a wider angle of oscillation (which translates to improved cutting) and the reputation of Milwaukee for quality. I have the red machines in impacts, drills, right angle drivers, cordless and corded and so have first hand experience with the quality aspect. I do have some corded DeWalt drills and die grinders, they have been good, have worn a few out in fact, but no problems until then, however the fit and feel of the Dewalts, in use, never matched the pleasure in the performance of the Milwaukee tools.
Came over from the Matt Risinger's channel from the Build Show way back in 2019! LOL.... Love some of the stuff I've already seen!
Awesome thanks
The more up to date dewalt has 3 speeds and a trigger lock so you can use both hands. What you didn't mention is the dewalt comes with a 'screw' accessory so that you can use star lock blades too. Nice addition by dewalt tbh.
Good review, helped me in making a decision.
I received the Milwaukee for Xmas and it’s shocking how quick it cuts!
Great vid by the way!
Great video 😎 the milwaukee looks great dewalt user here
Great honest review. I just bought Milwaukee :)
I personally use the DeWalt oscillating tool I find the variable speed trigger useful for plunge cutting drywall and different situations I'm no tool expert by any means but I've noticed plunge cutting Hardwoods the looser you hold the tool the faster at cuts just my opinion
You're actually correct on your point 👍
And it locks on.
Yes the loose grip allows the tool to do the work essentially when you grasp it tightly you loose some of the vibration. The opposite however can be said about cutting material not firmly in place. I often go through and Refasten door casings just above where I intend to cut them because if they have any play in them the cut takes forever
10 years ago when fein was the only option Porter Cable came out with the quick release for blade change. I use the dewalt now but it's just because I've already invested in the yellow batteries.
I haven’t used the M18 tool but I have used the m12. And it doesn’t have same change and auto feature. But I went from that to the dewalt and I stated buying and changing out all my tools to dewalt just because of how much I love the oscillator. Maybe one day I’ll give the m18 a chance but at this point my wife would kill me haha.
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Ultimately I feel like both of these brands are the best. It really depends on your battery system.
Most excellent information thanks a ton !
I have a DeWalt and a Mikita. Both do the job but just like shown here the Mikita plunge cuts must faster. Using the hook style drywall blades you can cut as fast as you can walk with the Mikita. I have one work van equipped with DeWalt tools the other with Mikita by way of employees choice. Interesting video seeing them head to head.
great comparison, thanks!
One thing so many people don’t realize and a lot of people may not care but you can save a lot of money by resharpening your oscillating tool blades and it doesn’t even take that long. I don’t do it while I’m on the job site because I don’t have time; I just toss the old one in my bag and put on a new one. But at night when I’m watching TV a lot of times when I’m cleaning my boots or shortening my pocket knife or my chisel I’ll take time to sharpen 10 or 12 of these oscillating tool blades, all it takes is a triangle file and about 60 seconds per blade. Since some of these blades might be three dollars to five dollars each depending on where you buy them it’s worth a minute or two to sharpen them.
I am torn between the two.
All I’d say is the Dewalt is probably better for a more accurate cut!
I have DeWALT but both of them are amazing tools ✌️😃👍
Great job well said an I likecyour demonstration been awhile since we seen you
I've used both on jobs until I bought my own, I got Milwaukee cause it's quieter and for the auto feature, for me the quick release doesn't matter.
I am a dewalt guy. But when it comes to these specific tools, I’ll go with my Fein every time.
The Starlock plus blade change is simply the best compared to all of these, even when I judt bought the M12 Multitool yesterday to go in addition to the Fein.
Why is it better? Seems like either does the same thing. I'm curious.
I believe the new dewalt version has a three speed selector. I have the original version but I bought my father the updated version for Christmas. Haven’t had a chance to try it out but there is three speeds to choose from.
I thought you said it was going to be 2 minutes. JK. I love your show, Happy New Year, keep up the great work.
Just got the dewalt i use it for drywall repairs and its worth every penny I would say its one of my most used tools for demolition it sure beats using a drywall router getting all that dust in your eyes isn't too fun and its 10 times faster
I do drywall. I just use the router for cutting drywall edges on door frames, electrical boxes and that’s about it. Drywall multi tool for everything else, specially for repairs
Super cool, I had no idea these little guys would rip through material that fast!
Fein v/s others , salutations from Chile !!
I’m a Milwaukee guy but I think with how many pros and cons both brands have I’d say they’re pretty equal, just pick one that makes more trade specific tools for you
Dewalt has more of the bigger tools that I need, and Milwaukee has the smaller ones that I need in the 12v line lol. Dewalt seemed to miss the point entirely on what 12v is all about lol.
And whichever battery line you already use
Pretty much, but since I started with Milwaukee, I feel like I should stick with it. Especially with how expensive batteries can get lol
@@RealHankShill it's the opposite for me. DeWalt's 12v Xtreme drills and drivers are perfect for assembly and installation around the house, while the 18v Multi and Sawzall go to team red due to smoother operation. However that is not true of their circular saws. It would be nice to just go with them to keep the battery line the same, but it seems like Makita saws are more attractive. You can see I place smooth operation pretty high on the list. Simply put, a tool I hate using is one I'm less likely to use.
I've got the Bosch GOP18V-28N and I really like it, and it has a very cool accessory called the "GMFDSG Cut Saw Depth Gauge" that you can set the depth of cut, it really makes things like cutting an access panel into flooring without cutting the subflooring easy to do.
How did we get along without these tools in the past? LOL
Neither Milwaukee nor DeWalt is really available here in Japan.
Great video Kyle.
Cheers from Tokyo
Stu
Didn’t think I’d want that tool,until I used one..Plunge cuts great.I use it installing hard wood flooring trimming around floor ducts
It’s the tool you never think about till you use it once and then you have to get one because they’re amazing and have so many applications!
I have the dewalt and really enjoy it. I’ve beat the hell out of it and never seems to wear in the tool itself
Wow, hard to argue with that. I had a Dewalt one on my shop truck, but I didn't use it that much.
There is an lock button to keep the trigger in on the dewalt 20v max xr. You can still use both hands and place them wherever you want. Unfortunately the only down fall to that is being it trigger has to be all the way in for the lock switch to work
I'm a dewalt guy but the milwaukee looks sweet . I have to much money tied up in my tools to switch over but love your reviews
Heck yeah, I've asked you a couple times in your live streams, which one you liked better!
He got free tools from both of them . Sorry ! he can't answer you .
I'll sure be glad when solid state, or better yet, graphene battery technology makes its way to power tools. Stronger, lighter, longer lasting, faster charging, and more charge cycles. Looking forward to the day when you can do a tool day comparing new battery technologies although Tesla's new 4680 battery might be a game changer in the short term for the first tool company that jumps on it.
I mostly use Milwaukee, but I keep the dewalt multitool in my box, pretty much because of the quick change, yeah. It isn't a tool I use all the time, but when I do, I want it to be done fast, and I basically only use it to cut through drywall, so how fast the blade goes in and comes out matters a little more than how fast either one can cut through wood. It's a problem-solving tool, for when my arch-nemesis "the drywaller" hides a wire, or an outlet box inside the wall.
Milwaukee all the way. Just picked this one up. Only nice part about the dewalt is the blade loading option.
It took Milwaukee a wile to come with a brushless tool. Couldn’t wait for Milwaukee brushless, got the dewalt last year, same with cordless sander.
Thank you for this video!
Keep on posting!
I am on the dewalt battery platform but now you can buy any tool and get a changeable battery device to work with all tools. These devices are from Amazon. I will be getting some red tools in the near future! Great vidio!
Yeah, the battery adapters make the tool platform arguments pretty much moot. You can adapt any major platform battery to any major platform tool.
I see you are learning from your own words.. knee pads!! Great work buddy! I learned to late at 31 and lost 70% on my left knee and 20% on my right.....
I personally like the Milwaukee. Not having a trigger so I can hold onto it wherever I want and the auto mode is a beast. I've never had a problem with the speed adjuster moving while I am using it, so I believe that part is user error.
I prefer having a trigger. The auto function is cool, but I don’t mind manually holding the trigger slightly to get started and then locking it if I need to.
Dude. The DeWalt locks on. This dude missed that part because he's not a DeWalt guy
I got the Dewalt 3 speed its nice and smooth, a more aggressive blade is all you need to make it faster
Plus you can lock each speed if you don't want to hold the trigger
The DeWalt has a trigger lock out to keep it running in any position. I'd take the variable speed trigger ANY day
I have been picking up Kobalt battery powered tools for a couple years now. Mu Porter Cable multi-tool finally crapped out about a month ago so I took a chance on buying the Kobalt multi-tool that uses my available batteries. Let me tell you, if there is a better multi-tool out there, I would love to find out what it does that this one will not. Once again, I am blown away by the quality of and the value of Kobalt lithium battery powered tools. Want a REAL eye opener? Buy their lithium battery powered impact wrench. My compressor and my air powered rattle gun have been collecting dust since I brought this thing in the shop. Changing wheels on everything from 10 wheel trucks to toyotas, this tool delivers all day long. With this and a set of torque sticks, you can do any job you need to. Their multi-tool is a walk off winner IMHO. Don' pay more than you need to.
Great review - great job! It would have been interesting to see how fast the Milwaukee would have been if you set it on high.
awesome details..thanks man
fair review thanks for showing
I believe it is a Black&Decker patent. The PorterCable oscillating tool has the same quick release as well.
