Based on our review of both the corded Multi-Max and the new cordless, I have little reason to doubt that claim. Dremel says that the high performance motor combined with the Lithium-Ion batteries deliver the same performance level as the corded Multi-Max. The cordless Multi-Max’s 12VMAX Lithium-Ion battery is also interchangeable with the Dremel 8200 rotary tool. The tool runs at 3,000 to 21,000 opm (that’s “oscillations per minute”, not “other people’s money”, in case you were wondering). And with the second included battery, I suspect it meets the needs of even more. It’s long enough that I would expect the Multi-Max to handle most jobs someone typically reaches for a cordless oscillating multi-tool for. I found the 32:30 run-time to be really impressive. All while waiting for the Lithium Ion battery to give in.įor the 30 plus minutes, I had the Multi-Max’s speed setting at about 2/3 power. I’d like to tell you that’s just how dedicated I am to tool testing on HomeFixated, but frankly, I have way too much sanding on my hands. Did I really stand there and sand wood more or less nonstop for over thirty minutes? Yup. Instead, I sanded for 32 minutes and 30 seconds. I charged up one of the batteries fully before using it and decided I was going to sand until the battery died, which I expected to occur fairly quickly. There was a lot of corner sanding my random orbit couldn’t get to that was ideal for the Dremel. This particular phase of the project involved some moderate sanding of wood that had already been stripped and cleaned in preparation for Fuhr 105 stain and Fuhr 260 finish. Now that I think about it, I’ll probably be working on it for an eternity. I was recently working on a window resoration project. Some cordless multi-tools have had a less than stellar reputation for battery life, so I was concerned the Dremel Multi-Max Cordless might fall into the same category. There are simply many times where going cordless makes a lot of sense, which is why I was eager to see how the Dremel peformed on an extensive sanding project. However, like many corded tools, the Fein cord (despite being generously long) can start to feel a bit more like a leash on some projects. Most of the time when I need an oscillating tool, I tend to reach for my trusty Fein Multi-Master.
