BREAKING! Milwaukee announces NEW TOOLS, but doesn't tell the whole story...

Welcome back power tool fans, I’ve got some breaking tool news from @MilwaukeeTool . This last Wednesday they brought a few of us to their headquarters to show us a brand-new line of M18 jobsite vacs, and a mountain of accessories. And today, we’re allowed to show you what we saw. And while they’re cool, and packed with unique features we haven’t seen before, that’s not the biggest story. If you look really closely, you’ll see something far more significant, just, below, the surface. Let’s go!

First, they need to make their own coffee pot and/or breakfast station...packout compatible, of course.

[zacoliver]

I agree! We need this as a packout base! And now we need a 36v microwave

[adampetten]

No remote to use as dust collection on a saw is a huge huge miss for re modelers and residential construction.

Dual batt table saw and miter would be ok.. those are also not lifted for usage, also a plug in option would ne ideal.

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

Wish Milwaukee would add the remote control Feature like the makita Vacs

[jhamby]

Agree 100% - no packout cleats and no remote/outlet to run this as a dust collector for a sander or whatever is a big flaw and in my opinion, a missed opportunity to be quite possibly the best vacuum solution on the market. Sigh. Even as a professional that buys almost exclusively Milwaukee products, I hate seeing them release new stuff that is overpriced and under-delivers.

[markfritz]

I like the fact they will do corded head in the future. I would think it was neat if they had a dual battery/ corded setup. The only real time I use a vac longer than half an hour straight is when I use it for dust collection from sanders/ routers etc. Too bad they did not use some type of wireless connection to turn on the vac when a tool starts. Not really wanting to buy one vac for cleanup, and then another for tool dust collection. I can see a lot of makers fashioning a plate to add the packout mounts.

5:31 PIVOT! PIVOT! Most memorable line of that entire show. 👍

[AZHighlandHomestead]

The absolute shocker and truly BEST part is at 6:50 . About time.

[RogueSecret]

They should have done something to hold the hose, like festool.
And cant understand the form and wierd size of it all and no bluetooth or packout :S

[ccadama]

@Belts And Boxes. Thanks Rob for your informative and entertaining way to announce Milwaukee's new line of cordless shop vacuums. I'm glad you reminded me of how Milwaukee poo pooed the idea of dual batteries (like Makita's 18V x2). Even Milwaukee eventually realized some of us don't mind 2 batteries on some of our power tools.

My take on why Milwaukee didn't include some of the features (PACKOUT mounting, Bluetooth remote start) is for incremental improvements. There will always be early adopters of their tools. We'll see what they add for GEN2 to their vacuums. Ridgid really needs to take note with these Milwaukee vacuum offerings.

Really appreciate your info in last night's livestream with the other Robert. You really bring alot of great behind-the-scenes info.

Keeping you, Sarah, and your families in my daily prayers.
EDIT: PS Thanks for including the pricing info in your description. More info to chew on...

[Ben-locy]

I can’t wait to buy $500 worth of batteries to power my shop vac I took a loan out for and then maxed my credit cards for all the super cool attachments

[tonytunnell]

I wish they make a small 3×18 cordless belt sander..and a track saw.

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

Impressed Milwaukee came out with a dual battery wet dry vac would be cool of they offered a 16 gallon base @Belts And Boxes

[almerino]

Milwaukee ran their mouth about two batteries but the fact is if they make a bad ass tool no one cares about about two batteries makita changed the game when they dropped the 36v rear saw and it’s still one of the top saws in the game with out any major changes to it

[next]

August Hunicke with monkeybeaver arborist tools is creating an umbilical system to connect two batteries worn on a belt to power chain saws. Maybe when the tool makers make this an option we may get more powerful tools.

[-TaylorMade-]

They need the dual battery setup on all the tools you mentioned!

[schmidtw]

I would def say the table saws, miter saws would be the best choices to add the dual batteries. They can get moved to set up location and then have the batteries added while stationary. Take the weight off when moved . Unlike other hand tools where holding the weight would get tiresome. At that point maybe adding a set of saws that could utilize the MX series batteries would make more sense for power and run time.

[needlesssay]

I see so many great recommendations for features on these why didn't Milwaukee bring in tradesmen to consult with them when designing their prototypes. That would help them produce their tool lines with the very best features that could be had.

[thegoodfight]

Id doubt I wouldve sold my table saw if it ran 2 batteries… but can you call milwaukee and ask them to think about adding the wireless feature team teal has for miter saws and routers. That would be awesomer still. 👍🏾

[kaseyreeder]

Ohhhh a duel battery table saw would be so nice!!🙌🏼
