All the popular power tool brands produce a ton of excellent tools, and that means you have endless options to choose from. And sure, Milwaukee, Ryobi, DeWALT, and others all make many similar items, but Milwaukee also offers some rather obscure items you’ve probably never seen or heard of. Here are a few that you’ll likely want to buy once you’re aware of them.
Milwaukee M12 Compact 3-inch Cutoff Saw
Your favorite red power tool brand already has some neat tools you can’t get from Ryobi and others, but those aren’t the only unique tools in its catalog. A prime example is this Milwaukee M12 compact cutoff saw. This tool is seriously tiny and small enough to hold easily with one hand, but thanks to a 3-inch cutoff wheel and the M12 battery, it’s quite mighty.
Most cordless power tools are pretty large, but that’s one of the many benefits of the M12 line. It delivers compact options for those who don’t want to lug around something big and heavy.
This compact 3-inch saw accepts any standard blade or wheel, features a nice, balanced in-hand feel, and is great for cutting metal, wood, and a range of other materials. It’s a handy little tool you’ll love.

Milwaukee M18 Packout Wet/Dry Vacuum
Many of you probably own a wet/dry vacuum for the garage or shop, but you probably haven’t seen anything like this one from Milwaukee. This is a typical 2.5-gallon wet/dry shop vac that runs off an M18 battery pack, but it’s also compatible with Milwaukee’s expansive PACKOUT system.
The square frame and perfectly notched design ensure it snaps into any Packout system. This excellent tool makes it easy to always have a vacuum on hand for cleaning up after a project, whether that’s at home or on the job site.
I recently saw one of these in action when an electrician came to work on my home, and I was very impressed with its performance, design, and just how quiet it operates. Milwaukee says it’s up to 2.5 times quieter than most shop vacs. Grab yours below.

Milwaukee Palm Nailer
This next tool is both obscure and extremely handy. Similar to what many will know as an auto hammer, Milwaukee offers an M12 Palm Nailer you’ll love. This small hand-held device makes it easy to hammer in nails, especially in odd locations or tight corners.
Instead of swinging a hammer, you simply use the battery-powered palm nailer to complete any job. It utilizes an industrial magnet collet to securely hold and hammer a wide range of nails, including large framing nails from 6D to 16D, with a force of 2.2 ft-lbs. You’ll also appreciate the built-in LED, safety hand strap, and durable all-metal internal design.

Milwaukee 12V Low-Speed Tire Buffer
Did you know Milwaukee makes a tire buffer? More importantly, what exactly is a tire buffer? This odd tool is part of the M12 line and features a low-power buff mode to smooth out a surface for commercial (or at home) tire patch repair. There’s even a drill mode, allowing users to clean out a hole in a tire, then complete a durable patch job.
When the 12V tire buffer was introduced, Milwaukee claimed it was the world’s first cordless tire buffer, yet it still offers the strength, control, and runtime to replace a traditional air-powered equivalent. Get consistent repairs with this capable tool for under $200.
Milwaukee M18 Caulk and Adhesive Gun
I have a battery-powered grease gun that works quite well, but I never considered getting one for caulking. Yes, Milwaukee makes an M18-powered caulk gun that makes caulk application fast, accurate, and easy around windows, doors, showers, and more.
The same battery that powers all of your Milwaukee tools will let you go through roughly 200 10-oz bottles of caulking, making it ideal for anyone on the job. It delivers exceptional bead control, has a built-in light, and more. You’ll love reaching for this in your tool bag.
