Milwaukee 0960-20 M12 FUEL 1.6 Gal Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool-Only)

Cordless cleaning power, reimagined

Meet the Milwaukee 0960-20 M12 FUEL 1.6 Gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum. This cordless 12V vacuum redefines portability without sacrificing suction. It delivers up to 40% more suction than comparable 18-Volt vacuums, yet remains among the quietest options in its class. The POWERSTATE brushless motor pushes up to 45 CFM and 42 inches of water lift, making quick work of both wet spills and fine dust. Its compact footprint is designed for easy storage in a van, cart, or workshop corner, while a stackable design helps you organize tools and accessories wherever you work.

The unit is built with practical features that support real-life cleanup tasks. An integrated wall-mount hanging plate increases storage options, and the on-board storage keeps attachments within reach. A fleece dust bag compatibility option (model: 49-90-2016) adds a simple filtration upgrade for lighter debris, helping you maintain a tidy workspace with less downtime.
