All specs

Oscillations per minute What this means Oscillations per minute (OPM) is how fast the blade swings side to side at top no-load speed. Higher speeds suit wood and sanding; lower speeds suit metal, plastics and delicate work. Variable speed matters as much as the top figure, and the oscillation angle, if listed, also affects cut speed.	10,000-20,000 OPM [1]
Tool length What this means Tool length is the front-to-back measurement published by the maker. A shorter tool fits between studs, joists and inside cabinets more easily; standard US framing is 16 inches on center, leaving about 14-1/2 inches between studs. Check whether the figure includes the chuck or bit holder.	12 in [2]
Batteries in box What this means This lists how many batteries come in the box, if any. Tool-only (bare) listings include no battery or charger, which suits buyers already on that battery platform. Two batteries let you charge one while working with the other.	1from the box list [1]
Battery capacity (each) What this means Amp-hours (Ah) is the battery's charge capacity. At the same voltage, a higher Ah pack runs longer between charges but is usually larger and heavier. Smaller packs keep the tool lighter for overhead and light work; larger packs suit saws, grinders and other high-draw tools.	2.0 Ahfrom the box list [1]
Charger in box What this means This states whether a charger is included and which type. Chargers vary in output, so the same battery can take noticeably different times to charge on different chargers. Tool-only listings usually include no charger.	Yesfrom the box list [1]
Weight with battery	3.7 lbs [1]
UPC barcode	088381741385 [1]
