Customer Reviews for Milwaukee M12 12V Lithium-Ion Cordless Rotary Tool (Tool-Only)

Love the tool and the value.

Handy tool. Perfect to carry around

It's very light weight. And the speeds are great

Its a great rotary tool! Very powerful and love the fact it runs on all my m12 batteries. It also fits the Dremel brand attachments, so there are so many things you can accomplish with it. Its a great buy!

I like it fine, the only issue I have is minor. The button you press to hold the shaft while tightening or loostening the collet has an annoying rubbery cover that makes it difficult to press at times and it's engagement with the shaft may let loose if not fulley seated.

Very happy with this product!!

I'm a huge Milwaukee fan, but sadly this is the worst product of theirs that I own. From first use, the tool has such massive slop in the spindle that it makes the tool unusable at certain speeds. When running slow, it's not that noticeable, but as you increase the speed, the spindle starts oscillating so bad that you can't even hold on to it. Running it wide open seems to help, but then it's so loud it's ridiculous. Save your money and buy a quality product from Dremel.

Bought this about a year and a half ago. Not a high use tool but a large fan of Milwaukee and have about 20 tools from their collection, mostly all fuel series. I’ve maybe used it 6-7 times for very small projects and then it stopped working. Put in fresh battery and nothing happens? Battery light blinks 6 times (error code?). Still am a fan but expect better reliability from a tool that charges a large premium for their products

Great tool, works as it should. Little pricey but being able to have battery power is worth it.

Decent rotary tool only for the price if you already have batteries for it. Basic rotary tool with basic functions to add to your collection.

great tool comes in handy on small jobs

Works for small jobs and decent projects. I like it!

I bought this to replace my corded Dremel as well as add to my ever growing pile of M12 tools. This has been great for me, I’ve been able to cut metal in tight places with it, sand down some small parts for fitment on my car, etc. It’s one of those tools I keep finding new uses for. Zero complaints or issues with it

This is my third one. They don’t last that long. And. Summit tools has them for $99. !! After I bought one . Where is the fuel version? Come on Milwaukee. I only bought this one as I have a lot of Milwaukee batteries.

Excellent tool....while it lasted. Less than a year old and I was using it one day and changed batteries, and it never worked again. I really like this tool, it is very versatile and does amazing things. I know I have to have another one, but I am going to see what else is on the market. I have a lot of M12 and M18 tools and have gotten years and years out of them, but this is the first failure I have had in a Milwaukee tool.

Great tool. It replaced a corded Dremel tool and I love the cordless ability and fits well under and in cars to cut or grind as needed.

Fantastic tools. It would be handy if it had a light to illuminate the work.

Motor seized up. It was after disassembly I realized the motors in these are NOT brushless! In this day and age no one should be paying $$$ for a cordless power tool that doesn't have a brushless motor in it. I would recommend sacrificing the short lived 2k rpm peak in this tool for the longer lasting sustained performance of a Dremel. Yes, I would rather add another battery charger type to my power tool lineup than keep this tool in my Milwaukee ecosystem.
