Modular Integration. Powerful Suction. The Quietest, Most Capable Small-Capacity Vacuum on the Jobsite.

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ PACKOUT™ 2.5 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum is the most powerful 18V small-capacity vacuum in its class.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Do I have to remove the vacuum from my PACKOUT™ stack to turn it on or use it?
No, you can operate the vacuum while it is locked onto your stack. The power button, vacuum intake port, battery compartment, and internal hose storage are designed to remain fully accessible from the sides and top face of the tool housing. This allows you to use the vacuum as a stationary extraction station right from your mobile cart.
+ How do you switch between wet extraction and dry vacuuming modes?
The vacuum handles both wet and dry debris using the same tank, but you must monitor the filter. The included certified HEPA filter is fully washable and rated for wet extraction tasks, but picking up large volumes of liquid can reduce its fine-dust dry capacity until it dries. For continuous heavy water extraction, it is highly recommended to slide the HEPA paper cartridge off the internal float cage to optimize wet collection and safeguard the paper folds.
+ What specific types of fine dust can this HEPA system extract safely?
The 0970-20 comes standard with a certified HEPA cartridge filter that traps 99.97% of tiny airborne dust microparticles down to 0.3 microns. When paired with standard power tools using the included utility adapter connector, this tool conforms to OSHA objective compliance rules for managing hazardous fine drywall dust, wood sawdust, and select masonry silica dust on professional job sites.
+ What is the advantage of purchasing this device in the standalone "Bare Tool" option format?
The bare tool configuration is the most cost-effective path if your workshop, utility truck, or remodeling team is already stocked with the Milwaukee M18™ Lithium-Ion tool system. Because this version does not bundle a standalone battery pack or charger station, it allows you to add high-performance PACKOUT™ extraction to your cart while saving substantial kit-packaging overhead.
