![]() Anyone who has used a multi-tool for any time will recognize that the blades don’t last all that long. Aside from that, the only included accessories are the 5 sanding pads and holder. The head is naturally compatible with accessories from Bosch and (coming soon) Skil and the adapter handles the rest.Ībout the only other thing to say about the accessories that come with the Milwaukee is that it only includes a single plunge cut wood blade. You remove and apply a screw that holds a specially-made washer to clamp the accessory to the 8-pin accessory head. Attaching Blades and AccessoriesĪccessories are attached by using the supplied hex wrench. In case it’s not clear, we LOVE the choice Milwaukee made here. That’s not a problem with the Milwaukee 2426-22 M12 Multi-tool Kit or a Dremel, but if you use a Bosch Multi-X then you’re stuck with having to locate Bosch accessories or use their generic friction-based adapter that does function as a universal coupler, but not as securely and confidently as these new adapters. You need a blade and you hit the store only to find a competing brand. I’m sure it pained Milwaukee’s Accessory division to think that they were encouraging the use of competitive accessories with their tool, but the truth is – people typically buy accessories on an as-needed basis. I can’t stress enough how cool it is to see an approach that favors the tool over the accessories. Let’s talk a little bit more about the universal accessories adapter. For most work, plan to leave it at the highest setting. The range of speed takes the tool from 5,000 to 20,000 opm. At least it won’t move when you don’t want it to. You really have to apply significant lateral pressure to get it where you want. We found the dial quite difficult to adjust. The speed controls actually have numbers that mean something-or at least they perfectly click into place at each setting. The tool has a variable speed control with 12 clear detent settings. We also study how well those features aid in the general application of the tool. ![]() When looking at the features of a multi-tool, we look for flexibility in how you can use it. Milwaukee 2426-22 M12 Multi-tool Kit Features ![]() Milwaukee’s use of the black grip is simple, flat, and ergonomic. ![]() Rubber overmold may seem common, but you’d be surprised at the number of tools that use black-colored plastic or simply don’t apply it properly. Milwaukee positioned the black rubber overmold to increase either a one- or two-handed grip. By now we’re very familiar with the ABS red plastic Milwaukee uses on all its tools. There’s nothing surprising about the tool’s looks. Of course, that weight includes an M12 RedLithium battery (more on this battery later as well). When comparing the tool to what’s on the market, this makes it one of the lighter models. The Milwaukee 2426-22 M12 Multi-tool Kit weighs 2 pounds, 3 ounces. ![]()
