So I was tired of hauling out the big shop vac just to clean up small messes around the shop, or to vacuum up a couple leaves and blades of grass from the interior of the cars. So I started looking for something smaller and easier to use. When I came across this.



Milwaukee M18 battery powered Vacuum.

I think @DRPHIL914 will love this.

Looks like a tool box, small, light weight and stores easily. Comes with a couple tools with onboard storage. (I added the dust brush)

But WITHOUT a M18 battery or Charger.

When I bought mine they were having a promotion that included a 3.0 battery free. It seems that may have expired.

I already have a M18 drill that came with a charger so it works for me. Larger cap. batteries are available

This thing is great, for a quick cleanup and I regularly use it on the cars. with the 3.0 battery it has enough charge to vacuum out a couple cars.

You can close the top and have the hose come out the side. so you can carry it in one hand and vacuum with the other.

It also switches to a blower, But it's not real powerful in that mode.

No battery or charger included, Batteries are expensive.
Limited run time. You aren't going to vacuum the house with it.

Just thought I would share.

I use a leaf blower instead of a vacuum. Leave the top off and blow the dust away. Works well around the engine too.

That is pretty cool. Might have to look at that as I am a big m18 fan and have a bunch of m18 stuff.
