Description

This Milwaukee M18 handheld vacuum (model 0892-20) is a fast, efficient cleaning solution for a variety of job site conditions. Thanks to its ergonomic shape and comfortable grip, it's built for quick cleanup tasks. It is sold as a bare tool, without battery or charger, and is compatible with the entire M18™ system.

The built-in debris separator delivers maximum, consistent airflow when cleaning up sawdust, drywall dust, wood chips, metal shavings and other common job site debris. This technology significantly reduces downtime spent cleaning filters and maintaining the vacuum.

Equipped with a high-performance brushless motor, the Milwaukee M18 vacuum delivers 40 CFM of airflow and 63 inches of suction reach. It weighs only 3.7 lb (1.7 kg), a lightweight design that makes extended use on the job site easier. Paired with an M18™ REDLITHIUM™ XC5.0 battery, this handheld vacuum offers over 20 minutes of runtime.

For better visibility in dimly lit job site environments, the vacuum features an LED ring around the nozzle for shadow-free lighting. For quick debris disposal, it's equipped with an easy-release tank with dedicated grip points and a quick-open latch.

The included HEPA filter captures fine dust and debris. The Milwaukee M18 handheld vacuum comes with five 1-1/4 inch accessories for maximum versatility: a 4 ft flexible hose, two extension wands, a crevice tool and a pivoting floor brush.
