Milwaukee 0960-20 M12 FUEL 1.6 Gal Wet/Dry Vacuum (Tool-Only) | Cordless 12V Power

Compact cordless power for cleanup

The Milwaukee 0960-20 M12 FUEL 1.6 Gal Wet/Dry Vacuum redefines cordless cleanup in tight spaces. As the first of its kind in the 12V category, it delivers up to 40% more suction than some 18V competitors, while staying remarkably compact and significantly quieter. The POWERSTATE brushless motor pushes up to 45 CFM and draws as much as 42 inches of water lift, giving you the confidence to tackle both wet spills and dry debris without reaching for a larger, louder vacuum.

With a practical 1.6-gallon capacity, this tool is designed for quick, efficient cleanups that don’t demand frequent empties. Its small footprint fits neatly in a van, cart, or garage workspace, and the stackable design makes storage straightforward when not in use. A thoughtful integrated wall-mount plate adds even more storage options, so attachments stay within arm’s reach and ready for the next job.

Storage and organization that travels with you

• Stackable design for easy storage and transport
• 1.6 gal. capacity for brief cleanup cycles
• On-board accessory storage keeps hoses and nozzles at hand
• Wall-mount plate expands garage or shop storage options

Power, performance, and versatility

• POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 45 CFM of airflow
• Up to 42 in. water lift for robust wet and dry cleanup
• Up to 40% more suction than comparable 18V vacuums
• Up to 2x quieter than many common wet/dry vacuums

As a tool-only model, batteries and charger are sold separately, giving you the flexibility to pair with your existing M12 FUEL lineup. The fleece dust bag compatibility (model # 49-90-2016) adds an extra layer of dust management for fine particles. Whether you’re tidying a vehicle interior, refreshing a workshop corner, or performing quick site cleanups, this vacuum offers cordless convenience without sacrificing suction or control. Real-world use benefits include less downtime, easier transport between locations, and a neater work environment where attachments stay organized and ready for action.

Note that performance depends on task type and battery choice. This model is designed to complement mobile workflows where compact size and mobility matter as much as suction and versatility.
