Yes it’s worth it imo. It’s quiet, compact and sucks. You’ll want to run it with a bigger battery for extended use. I use mine to clean my vehicles as well as attached to my miter and table saw to help with dust and chip collection. The deal with the free tool u can hack it by returning said free tool and take home the vac for like $108. If u don’t need the battery pick the impact driver to maximize your savings on the vac.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->I have the dewalt flexvolt 12” miter saw so I can’t say for the Milwaukee one. But it helps and makes a difference. Obviously it won’t suck everything but it’s pretty good as long as I’m not cutting wide boards
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->Awesome vacuum, it's so small and easy to carry around the truck and has amazing suction. It's better than it should be for its size
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->I just got one, it’s great. Cleaned the cars and dust after hanging curtains. I went with the packout although I don’t have packout stuff in case I get into that. The only complaint I have is there is no bristle brush. What does everyone buy for more accessories? I was looking at the harbor freight detail kit, curious what would work from Amazon.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->I use packout vacuum, cordless Ridgid shopvac (discontinued),and the m18 shopvac all with bags and filters removed. HD and Amazon sell bags for all kinds of vacuums. I install cabinets so packout is on my tracksaw. M18 on mitersaw, and Ridgid on m18 tablesaw.. I sweep and use m18 and Ridgid because they have more volume . I bolted on a crate on top of my m18 for packout compatibility (before the packout vacuum was released)...crate holds accessories and the hose.
r/Tools • Best SMALL Vac for Jobsites? ->https://preview.redd.it/lo6yk7ne5nsf1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dcf20b6e00a4f65ff004d5104a267785e8018a9a Got it recently. No regrets.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->I have the 2 gallon. The hose is overly difficult to disconnect when you need to clear it. The house should be 50% wider with the same tip. This would prevent it from getting clogged. It frequently gets clogged now. The only thing it’s good for is sawdust and maybe dirt. Not picking up chunks with it.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Anyone regret going with the 2.5 gallon Milwaukee Vacuum? ->I love mine. This is a good deal
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->It works with the Milwaukee m18 vacuums too. Amazing upgrade.
r/AutoDetailing • Good vacuum for carpet in tight spaces? ->Id start charging your friends to use the car. They dont pay your insurance or monthly soo if they want to use make them pay!! Also i would recommend Milwaukee portable m18 vacuum very handy just buy a couple of their large high output batteries for max power
r/Detailing • Best Vacuum Cleaner for Car ->Better than most portable vacuum
r/Detailing • Best Vacuum Cleaner for Car ->I had this exact deal but with an extra battery. It's a good deal regardless. Just a question where you" need" another 5ah or not. https://preview.redd.it/3e0s7kvubpsf1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69f3efa625969d7965f1247f29388bc2f7d92b6b
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->I have the 0880-20 (2gal non-pack out) and it’s the most abused tool I have. I’ve used it countless times fixing irrigation leaks, so vacuuming up tons of water, rocks, sand, silt, mud, etc. I use it without a filter, so as soon as it either sucks the ball up or starts spitting out water I know it’s full. I like the size way better than larger ones cause it’s easier to handle when it’s full of water. It’s also very commonly used as a step stool, despite the stamp on the top that’s says no step. It’s a great step stool as well as an improvised chair when I need to get my butt up off the wet ground. I would not want it in pack out format or any changes to it at all. It’s perfect just as it is.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Anyone regret going with the 2.5 gallon Milwaukee Vacuum? ->I used it when snaking all of the sinks in my house and it's so damned convenient over trying to move a big, corded shop vac. This and the brad nailer were my first Milwaukee tools and in under a year I've added another 15-20 Milwaukee tools. I absolutely love it for an indoor wet vac.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->I use this tool with every job. It's one of my favorites. I would buy it if it were double that price. No regrets.
r/MilwaukeeTool • Milwaukee M18 Vacuum Deal. Is It Worth It? Whats the difference? ->And that Milwaukee suitcase shop vac is dog shit. We buy em at work, and they are okay in a pinch but they're far worse than an actual corded HEPA vac
r/BuyItForLife • These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt? ->I use a Milwaukee on construction sites, it'll be fine for a vehicle
r/Detailing • Best Vacuum Cleaner for Car ->No dude it's perfect, it's a small easily maneuvered with good power. It's the size of a boom box from the late 80's lol tho look at them at home Depot and you can make your choice. All 3 are sold there.
r/Detailing • Best Vacuum Cleaner for Car ->I have a 18V Milwaukee one that works great but it’s more than $150 I think. I would say if you have cordless battery platform just get one as most manufacturers have them. Bonus bc I also bought a blower to match and it is great to blow up tubes and blow debris off cover and such
r/boating • Best Vacuum for Boat ->I’m a big fan of the Milwaukee M18 cordless vacuum The portability/modularity if you already have their batteries. Biggest difference maker is a set of attachments for the nooks and crannies.
r/Detailing • Best Car Vacuum To Buy Right Now? ->Milwaukee makes an awesome cordless one
r/AskACanadian • Canadians, I need a vacuum recommendation. 😋 ->I have a bunch of EGO tools and love em. I have the Milwaukee cordless one that’s like a little rectangular toolbox, or else I’d buy this.
r/egopowerplus • Is the shop vac good? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
