Milwaukee puts out tons of new products every year—often well over 100! It can be tough to track everything, so I aim to keep you up to date with the best new Milwaukee Tools as they’re announced.
Pipeline took place in August, giving us a sneak peek at more than 100 recent and upcoming products. Some of these aren’t coming out until well into next year, so I’m going to focus on what’s about to launch on this page.
If you want to check out the tools that were recently announced, take a look at our Milwaukee Pipeline 2025 page.
The all-new Milwaukee M18 HotShot Jump Starter provides up to 2000 peak amps to jump start a car, truck, or boat battery with ease. With that kind of power, it can confidently revive up to a 8.1L gas engine or a 3.0L diesel engine. Using the kitted 8.0Ah Forge battery, Milwaukee tells us you can expect over 70 uses on a single charge!
It weighs a mere 9.3 pounds with the kitted 8.0Ah battery, making it much lighter than traditional lead-acid jump starters. Plus, the onboard capacitors are rated for 500,000 cycles, so you’re set for the long haul.
M18 Fuel Nexus Wet/Dry Vacuum with Packout Compatibility & VacLink
The Nexus 6-gallon wet/dry vac is the latest model in Milwaukee’s lineup, featuring Packout and VacLink compatibility and up to 115 CMF of airflow with the dual-battery model. The single battery configuration delivers peak 3.5HP with 44 minutes of runtime, while the dual-battery model tops at 4.25HP and 49 minutes of runtime.
Both models are compatible with the full line of Packout storage boxes, making it easy to transport tools and supplies, and the VacLink technology allows for easy remote activation. These vacs are also compatible with Milwaukee’s dedicated debris separator and filter cleaner, allowing it to maintain OSHA Table 1 compliance.
Keeping batteries safe and fully charged on site is easier than ever, thanks to the brand new Milwaukee M18 and M12 Gangbox Rapid Charger. This charger can simultaneously accommodate two M18 and two M12 batteries, or a total of four M18 batteries. There are also two USB-C charging ports for small devices and a 450 lumen LED flood light to illuminate the box and area around it.
Mounting the charger is easy, as you have your choice of using the magnetic base, magnetic cleats, and even keyhole mounts for non-ferrous surfaces.
Milwaukee is taking the phrase “small but mighty” to a whole new level with the introduction of its latest subcompact impact wrenches. These are available in 1/4 (3048) and 3/8-inch (3049) friction ring drives that boast 100 ft-lbs and 225 ft-lbs of breakaway torque, respectively. The 3048 tops out at 3,800 RPMs with 4,400 IPM while the 3049 peaks at 3,400 RPM and 3,600 IPM.
Both models feature a 4-mode drive control system and an auto-shutoff mode that limits torque for hand-tight applications, as well as a bolt removal mode. Moreover, both models are right around 1.5 pounds and measure 4.5 inches from tip to tail. Their size and power make them ideal for small to medium fasteners in tight spaces.
The Milwaukee M18 Fuel 3-in-1 backpack vacuum is designed with remodelers, general contractors, carpenters, and facility managers in mind. It sports an integrated cyclone separator to mitigate clogs and reduce how often you have to clean the filter. This vacuum delivers up to 70 CFM, 55 inches of water lift, and up to 40 minutes of continuous runtime using an 8.0Ah Forge battery.
The redesigned harness features enhanced padding that ensures all-day comfort, while an integrated hang hook and top handle make it easy to hang or carry. This vacuum comes with five kitted accessories: 1 7/8-inch x 6-foot flexible hose, 1 7/8-inch telescoping wand and ergonomic handle, 1 7/8-inch pivoting floor tool, and a 1 7/8-inch crevice tool that all conveniently store onboard the vacuum.
M18 Fuel 21-Inch Dual-Battery Single Stage Snow Blower
This is Milwaukee’s first venture into the battery-powered snow blower market, and on the outset, things are looking good! The M18 Fuel 3036 is powered by two M18 Forge 12.0Ah batteries that deliver a peak 7.5HP power output that allows the 21-inch rubber auger to throw snow up to 35 feet. Milwaukee tells us that this single-stage snow blower can clear 6 inches of snowfall for up to 11 car spaces, or up to 500 feet of standard sidewalk.
Most impressive about this snow blower is the noise level. It operates at 92 dB, nearly 10 dB quieter than a comparable 252cc gas model. On top of that, it comes with LED headlights for early morning use, and a dual-coated zinc and powder-coated frame that resists corrosion and rust.
The M12 Rover mulit-directional flood light is designed to provide bright, consistent illumination for a wide range of jobs. It delivers up to 1,200 lumens of Milwaukee’s TrueView high-definition light and features three output modes with an adjustable head so you can direct light right where you need it. Milwaukee estimates you can expect around 4 hours of continuous runtime on high and up to 16 hours on low using an XC4.0Ah battery.
The real highlight here are the mounting options. Unsurprisingly, you get an integrated hang hook and magnetic base, but this light is also compatible with the Milwaukee Packout system. The Twist-to-Lock mount is very similar to what we saw with Milwaukee’s Packout Tumbler and Bluetooth speaker, and makes for a secure connection while you’re on the go. There’s also an integrated USB-C port so you can charge small devices straight from the light.
Up until the release of DeWalt’s hydraulic impact driver (DCF870) late last year, it seemed that most manufacturers had put quiet impacts on the side burner, but Milwaukee isn’t ready to throw in the towel. The all-new Milwaukee M18 Fuel Surge hydraulic impact driver features a fully redesigned Fluid-Drive powertrain that delivers quieter operation and improved driving power.
The 2761 sports a brushless motor that produces an astonishing 1,000 in-lbs of torque, 6,300 IPM, and up to 3,200 RPM. That’s more than 100% stronger than its predecessor, the M18 Fuel 2760, and these numbers make it one of the most powerful models in this class. The real benefit of the 2761 is the reduced noise level, making work in confined or occupied spaces more pleasant and less distracting.
The Milwaukee M18 Fuel Branch Conduit Bender is breaking new ground for busy Electricians who don’t have time to second-guess themselves. This conduit bender is equipped with Auto-Zero technology that allows it to always sense when it’s in the 0° position, meaning you don’t have to spend time manually calibrating it. This technology ultimately saves you time and increases consistency from bend to bend.
This conduit bender is powered by a brushless motor, and Milwaukee claims up to 110 bends in 3/4-inch EMT using only a single XC5.0Ah battery. It’s also compatible with a variety of bending shoes that allow it to bend 1/2, 3/4, and 1-inch EMT as well as 1/2 and 3/4-inch RMT. On top of that, the bending shoe installation is all tool-free, making it easy to swap out components on the fly.
The M18 precision blower is designed to clean lightweight debris around jobsites, workbenches, and garages. This blower features three speed modes and the brushless motor delivers up to 39 CFM and a top airspeed of 570 MPH on Max Power mode. You can expect around 30 minutes of continuous runtime at peak power.
The drill-esque form factor is lightweight and easy to maneuver, measuring 7 inches in length and weighing just two pounds. This is especially handy when working in tight spaces, and there’s a lock-on switch for prolonged use.
