Packout-compatible design, possible with internal hose (and cord) storage.At least a 2.0 gallon capacity air tank.

In March, I posted about my Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless air compressor predictions, and there I said that it would be nice to see such a tool featuring: Ben reviewed Dewalt’s FlexVolt air compressor here. It has a 2 gallon air tank, which is slightly smaller than Dewalt’s 2.5 gallon capacity. The low-profile – and more easily stored – design seems like a good idea, and I love the idea of quieter operation.ĭigging around, we see that the new Milwaukee air compressor delivers 135 PSI max. So, what do you think about Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel cordless air compressor? I know that a lot of you have been waiting for this release for a while. Measures 18.2″ wide x 16.25″ long x 10.62″ tallīuy Now: Milwaukeee Compressor via Tool NutĬompare: Dewalt Kit via Acme Tools Discussion.M18 FUEL 2 Gallon Compact Quiet Compressor (2840-20) Specs Milwaukee says that the new compressor can fire up to 1600 18 gauge brad nails on an M18 High Output 12.0Ah battery. The over-pressure release port is at the side, near the coupler, and the moisture drain is at the rear. Taking a closer look at the user controls, there’s an on-off rocker button, tank pressure gauge, and one-touch regulator control for outlet pressure. The whole system looks to be configured as compactly as possible. The roll cage is welded to the tank itself, as is the side handle for one-handed carrying. It looks like the feet can fit within Packout tool box grooves, but there’s no active locking mechanism.įeatures include a quick-connect coupler, roll cage design, and compact user interface in close proximity to the battery port.

However, the M18 Fuel air compressor has 4 feet and does not look to be Packout-compatible. With the compressor being stackable, it can be transported on top of a rolling stack of Milwaukee Packout tool boxes. It has a low profile design, which gives it a lower center of gravity (our words), and Milwaukee says its stackable design aids in storage as well. The new Milwaukee M18 Fuel air compressor weights 31.2 lbs without battery, and can be carried with one hand. Milwaukee also says that their new cordless air compressor is 2X quieter than standard corded models.
