Questions & Answers

Can I use this shop vac with M-18 hand held orbital sander??
ByMay 1, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hi Antonii. Yes, you can use the Milwaukee M12 FUEL™ 1.6 Gal Wet/Dry Vacuum with an M18 hand-held orbital sander, but it’s not the most ideal setup for continuous dust extraction on large sanding projects.

    Can I attach this vacuum to the m12 circular saw for saw cut extraction?
    ByMar 18, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hi, Hayd. The M12 FUEL™ 1.6 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum can be used for dust collection! The M12 vacuum has a 1-1/4" hose connection and is designed for small debris and spot cleanup. Milwaukee’s M12 circular saws (5-3/8" or 6-1/2") do not have an integrated dust port for direct hose connection like some track saws or miter saws. This means you cannot directly attach the hose to the saw without an adapter or custom solution.

          I have the XC5.0 battery, can I purchase just the charger for that battery?
          ByNov 12, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Yes - look for the M12 battery charger. 48-59-2401 You'd be best off buying a kit and get it with a battery and tool.

                Excellent deal, this starter kit and the larger M12 oscillating tool. The high output 5 Ah battery has a great runtime, even with continuous use. Good addition to my existing M12 battery selection. I really like the compact, lightweight design that offers comparable power to larger voltage platforms. After a few years of using the M12 tools and batteries I would highly recommend them to anyone.

                It is an additional to my tools. The vacuum is light and portable that helps to clean the debris of sheet rock when I was repairing my water line caused by pink hole leaked at kitchen ceiling.

                This little vacuum is exactly what I needed. It cleans up small messes with ease. The power suction it puts out for it being a 12v is amazing. Price is on point. I would buy another one when or if this one ever stops working. The attachments it comes with are great. The compact size makes it great for maneuverability. It is extremely light weight. Easy to empty the container when full. The filter catches a lot and even when full still provides excellent suction. I highly recommend this m12 brushless fuel vacuum to anyone who is been on the fence about buying one. Excellent product. Great job Milwaukee. Not to mention it comes with a hanger to be able to hang it up on the wall!!!

                Works great for what it is, and you can pair it with a 5ah battery for free so it's a no brainer. It's compact and mounts up on my wall and out of the way. I use it mostly for automotive and small jobs around the house, so it lasts long enough for me.

                They are offering me a discount to review this product. I like discounts and I like the m12 platform so what is not to love. These batteries work great. I have a few of the smaller size that aren't enough to keep up with using a bandsaw all day. The 5.0 high output is the sweet spot of having enough juice but not being too bulky to keep on their all day. Whelp, that is about all I have to say about that.
