@4:20 I understand. I use my dewalt 20V shop blower for my fire pit. I purchased this for my shop at work. I work under the terminal @SAN Airport and dust, bag tags & etc are all over the place. Thanks for this.
I tested this in my backyard yesterday with a 4hr battery. I also used my ShopVac extension which helped since I’m 6’2”. With my 20V Dewalt, 40V Ryobi and this 12V Milwaukee(I’m contemplating buying another one for home since this is going to work), I clear the inaccessible areas with the blowers, sweep my patio and walkways and clear the fine particles with the blower. I like this Milwaukee because it’s not as loud as the other two and does the job/ it would be great if Milwaukee built an extension for taller personnel so that they don’t have to bend over to get the ha to reach areas. Other than that this is a great tool.
I’ve been using this blower every day at work. Any airport will have wind, countless bag tags, trash and the infamous dust from tires contacting the runway thousands of times each day. I cannot fathom the dust that I breathe in daily because I’ve been working at airports since 1984(JFK 1st airport job). This unit works well because it’s compact and I cannot eliminate the dust problem at any airport but I can control my work areas dust and debris issue. I also have an old school blower that a coworker had upgraded from his home. It’s very strong but tethered with a 150’ chord. I use this at least once a month but the dust pick up is too much. A daily sweep with the M12 Blower helps. I still sweep up into piles the accumulated stuff to prevent it from going into other work areas. I also want to use an extension but I don’t want to take my shopvac extension to work. Hopefully Milwaukee will make an extension for people 6’2” or taller. If not I hope someone reads this and makes a suitable set of extensions on eBay or Amazon.
I specifically have M12 items for use camping. Why? smaller, in general, and the right tools for the always limited space. They have come in handy when DIYing things like doors and having to add some structural pieces inside the small cabinets etc. I have 20 Volt DeWalt for the home including FlexVolt, but I love the M12 line. The 20 volt stuff is just so big... I find myself looking for my M12 stuff for jobs when the 20 volt is too much. I've done big jobs with the 20/60 volt but not everything NEEDS that much power. I have the little wet/dry vac and this will be great for getting stuff out of all the nooks and crannies in a travel trailer and under the slide so it doesn't gouge the floor on the way in.
This was an awesome video, I loved how you used regular shop-vac attachments with it. I will definitely try that with mine. I think for the price you can't beat a small shop blower and if you already have m12 batteries just get one! I leave a 6ah battery in mine at all times and I find myself using it multiple times a day.
I haven’t tried it on blow drying a car with the m12. I have in the past used the m18 blower to do so and works great. I imagine the m12 will take more time cause of the lower CFM’s.
7 minutes on a 2.0 battery. thats MORE than enough time to get alot of lil things done. blowing dust out of electronics. cleaning the garage out. blowing off dust on a project you just sanded. drying water on the car. plenty of time.
Makita has something simular on 40V Max in the shape of a drill/driver and much stronger and longer lasting. This thing is more or less a toy. There are not to many situations where you need a medicore, underpowered 12V blower. But Milwaukee Cultists will buy it and hang it next to the M18 that is also actually more a home owner product far from nothing but heavy duty and competitor products from Ego, Dewalt, Stihl, Makita 36 and 40V.
I left other brands for Milwaukee long ago because they kept changing platforms and discontinuing the lines I was invested in. I've been in M12 since 2011 and all my batteries still work, and tbey are still releasing tools on the platform. For work M18 has been doing the same thing. I do agree that this blower is a joke...and terribly designed. I got it for free...and use it to blow out the bed of my truck...works fine for that.

I use this for my bike after bike rides, blowing off my PC and my small patio in my apartment.
Does it have enough force to push coolant out of radiator and host?
For a clean coolant change

Thanks. 😀 its definitely a home run in my book for a M12.
Has anyone used it for electronics dusting
I have not.
7.5 min on a 2ah compact is pretty impressive considering your not gunna run that nonstop
I agree. I’m an emergency
Go this blower to blow the dust out of my excavator cab and to clean the air filter and radiator out. Its brilliant.
how would this stack up to blow dry my car after a wash?

Makita’s spot blower is so much nicer, and can double as a vacuum. I returned my m12.
Someone gots to 3d print the long extension they make the small ones
Is my math wrong! 7.5 minutes on a 2 doesn’t mean 22.5 minutes on a 6?
Can you shoot beer cans out of it?
You bring up a very good question. 🧐 I haven’t even tried. Now, I must. 😆
Yes.

I like the blower, but milwaukee really kinda messed up with it. Tool only? Nah... should be no less than 4.0 battery.
I prefer tool only, I already have plenty of batteries
Is this guy related to John Fetterman?! Dude! Speak! Get the damn WORDS OUT! Sound it out!!!
Thanks Richard!
I needed more power so I got the m18 blower 🫤
They got the Duel battery M18 blower now. 700 CFM 😱
