Trades of all kinds utilize oscillating multi-tools for a range of applications. The 18V LXT Sub-Compact Brushless Multi-Tool (XMT04ZB, tool only) delivers corded speed and power without the cord. It is ideal for remodelers, carpenters, plumbers, wood floor installers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class cordless multi-tool. The multi-tool features variable speed control dial (10,000 20,000 OPM) with soft-start so users can match the speed to the application. It's equipped with Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT ), an internal counterbalance system engineered to reduce vibration. It has a 3.6-degree oscillation angle for faster, more aggressive cutting and sanding. The small diameter barrel grip provides improved handling and a large on/off slide switch with lock-on button provides convenience. The XMT04ZB features the-StarlockMax System, a tool-less clamp system for faster accessory installation. When used with Starlock Oscillating MultiTool Accessories, this oscillating multi-tool is ideal for cutting, sanding, scraping, grout removal, and many more applications.
