- NEW MILWAUKEE M18 TOP-OFF 175W POWER SUPPLY (Watch Before You Buy!) In this video we show the #verycoolgang what you can expect when you decide to buy the new Milwaukee tools M18 TOP-OFF 175W power supply. The new M18 TOP OFF 175W compact power supply has multiple hook ups for different USB sizes and 120V outlets which help to allow users to power multiple different electronics all at the same time. Let us know your thoughts on the new Milwaukee tools M18 TOP-OFF 175W Compact Power Supply (2846-20) down below in the comments section and make sure to watch this video before you buy it!
How many pairs of glasses can he fit on his head
I didn't even notice he had three pairs of glasses on
At least 7
All of them.
I think that needs to be a video. Just him doing shenanigans
@@zacharystephani9510 that's every video he makes
When he gets a haircut he tells the barber to cut around the sunglasses 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stop selling tools in the old molded boxes and move on to only selling the Packout cases with laser cut foam inserts. Feed my addiction and you can take my money. Are you listening, Milwaukee?
Excellent idea!
Belts and boxes recorded an entire episode during a electrical blackout with 1 topoff and a 12 ah battery. Several lights a camera and all kinds of crap. Enough said
@@loucifer323 you clearly didn't watch the same video from Belts and Boxes.
@@drawnsjawn they made a second video
Its rated at 1.75amp and he plugs in 10-20amp things lol
Actually its 1.45 a
@@phild1816 close enough I don't know the efficiency rating of the device or the actual operating voltages.
To be fair he knew it wouldn't work but gave it ago any ways
lol i will not buy those build my own power station
But how many times will it charge a Tesla Cybertruck before the 12 Ah battery runs out?
My question is how many milwaukee battery's can you charge with one milwaukee battery
vince u gotta do a video on this
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
For real, this was my first thought!!
For sure, less than what battery you are using..
I picked up the TopOff and used it to power the ice water circulation machine that my friend required post shoulder surgery on a 2-1/2 hour drive from hospital. Flawless!
Wow. Modern times huh?
Yeah my story with it! I work security as a second job, and use this every other day to power my stream light, car light and phone! It’s not perfect but if it ever dies I’m getting a new one asap! Probably two of them
Just wait until somebody figures out how to hook them up together in parallel/series.
I was curious if there was such a thing that someone could use to do that!
@@stevenschwarz6358 the hard part is keeping the AC wave in phase with the other unit.
There is a guy on YT that does that.
@@nandos1111 Could probably just put the batteries in series so you dont have to deal with that
At this point get a solar panel fr... You can keep a fridge cool all day in a truck no prob. Good thing is: The less the sun, the less the need to cool.
This is great! I have two batteries so I can use this to charge the other one and when thats done, I can use that one to charge the first one. That way ill never run out of battery. Thx
I wish Milwaukee would make one with a pure sine inverter to provide safer AC power for plugged in devices
I stay in Florida, this is a must have during hurricane season. Getting one as soon as it's available at the home depot.
If you have a lot of power outages during hurricane season honestly you should get a generator they are useful as hell when you need them and you can get a good one for like $400-$600 (if you’re buying a used one)
@@dckcheese2122 Good looking out, we have one already. Just don't feel like wheeling it out of the shed, every time the power goes out. Like 5 days ago, when we had a T-storm. Power was out for a few hours and this little red beauty was able to charge a couple of phones, my laptop and run a fan. Highly recommend everyone go pick one up.
@@BunB4523 ah ya I have a bigger garage so we don’t gotta dig it out, I forget people don’t have it out as convenient as me, but ya I get that it is nice be able to charge some things without getting out the generator
The shop vac is over 700W microwave is 1500 or more starting watts.
It ran a box fan, on a hot day when the power starts to go out because the closing of power plants
This sure will come in handy
build power ststion with lithium battery and do much better
It can't run a coffee pot. Its just like all other inverters. That's why I did not buy it. Just another power source to run small devices. Nothing to see here folks. If it can run a kuerig machine coffee maker then we are getting warmer. Maybe milwaukee can make a power source to jump start a car, run a coffee pot a microwave and inflate a tire. If they do make one let me know. Thanks for the video.
They actually have an air compressor that works like a dream! Only m12
But can you use it to charge a milwaukee battery on a milwaukee charger?
Legend says every time he scratches safety glasses they just shift upwards to the top of his head while a fresh pair sprouts from his face.
(safety glasses that have shifted to the top of his head also negate the need for a hard hat)
” Topping off”the union guys are going have jokes for days
I have one for my son! He is on a feeding tube that needs to be charged! I needed a portable power generator and new milwaulkee tools! 2 birds! Wife approved!
I use it to temp in lights as an electrician. I also made my own lamp out of a lighting socket and a plug connector. Works great!
Vince, thanks for sharing.
I LOVE the idea of using your (very expensive) power tool batteries for things other than “just” powering tools (nothing is ever enough for us gear heads, huh?!).
I have an Ego mower/trimmer/leaf blower, and three of their batteries (including the 7.5 Ah monster) and I use their 150W inverter to charge my phone/tablet/laptop when I’m off the grid. I work from home, and sometimes travel in my RV during the work week, so I need a way to power a few things while not connected to shore power. I have plans to add solar panels/big battery bank/inverter to my RV, but that’s a ways off in the future (probably 2-3 years). I plan on getting the Topoff soon, so I can have redundancy when it comes to powering my devices critical to my work when off grid.
I think it would make a ton of sense for Milwaukee to develop a device similar to the Ego Nexus Power Station. Give us a pure sine wave inverter (at least 1,000 Watt peak) with four battery ports, two or three 120V outlets, a few USB ports, and here’s the real feature: a built-in solar charge controller that would allow us to plug in a portable solar panel (100-200W) to give us the means to charge our batteries while completely off the grid. Cherry on top: the device will integrate into your packout stack.
I really hope that something like this is on Milwaukee’s radar!
Yes - a Jackery type of solar enabled power inverter that we can attach several M18 batteries and have an inverter to give 120V regulated (for electronics) at least 1000 Watts. The batteries that we all have is half the cost of these solar generator.
Power tool battery packs use 3.7 volt 18650 Li-Ion cells that cost about $5 each wholesale. M12 battery packs have three 18650 cells connected in series.
good idea this tool adapter plug for mobile folding solar panels and or bi-directional power
as is i like the general idea of smaller power supply and not dragging a gass/diesel 5KW generator or bigger/heavy battery-packaging for one ish tool/need
F⁹⁰
2 years later and they released something close, but unfortunately not good enough. They now have a m18 power supply, 4 battery ports, 2 outlets, 3600w/1800w, but needs all 4 batteries to run, no solar, and not integrated with packout. If they made it so you could run on one or two batteries while swapping the rest, that would be fine. Packout integration really doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult when you’re looking at this current design…they easily could’ve done exactly what you said; make a modified rolling box or even the XL. Could’ve had room to store extra batteries with that sort of design. Guessing they’re saving that for a fuel version/ second gen, and I’m no electrician but solar connectivity seems like it wouldn’t have been that hard either, especially if we’re providing our own equipment. They could make solar panels built into a packout power supply similar to the packout lights (they flip/fold out and rotate from the sides. That would be the ultimate electric power supply lol
Mine kicks ass, love it. Got a 100w electric blanket to go for over 2hrs on an XC5.0 battery on the highest heat setting, couldn't believe it. When I get the HD12.0 I'll run the blanket on medium heat and see if I can get most of a night out of it. We'll without a doubt be able to use it for winter camping in the 4Runner.
International tool has Milwaukee brushless impact for $49.88
Don’t buy nothing from international tool. They aren’t honest.
Great video, the man is honest, as an electrician for 38 years I would have done the same thing, tested on everything and anything
Good for camping
It be an awesome PowerPoint when out camping
on the fridge, you confused volts for watts.
Come on Vince you're a guy.... you have never read the instructions. None of have 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The only thing I have bought from Milwaukee that I don't like. My fault for not reading the fine print before I bought it but now it's over priced in my opinion. I already bought the smaller more sleek version for a single USB and now I'd rather use that since this top off thing is only good for charging but twice the size lol 😅
Well Mr Smart Pants, people that want to run a CPAP during a power outage might disagree.
Since cable internet is still live in the cable during a power outage, I might buy this to power my modem & router in such case.
i would probably buy it just for running heaters and fans when doing outside work.
It wouldn't power a heater since they are all inefficiency creating heat. Most heaters can be 1000W or more
@@jonathanwiebe5779 thanks for the heads up!
I run two 1000w heaters on it but it can handle way more.
I brought mine home put it on a 4.0 battery, that's what i had fully charged and ran a power supply with input of 115 v ac60hz 270w output of 12 amp constant. powering a amateur radio that was receiving and I did some transmitting. It ran for 3 1/2 hours
I wonder if that would run a Garage Door Opener? I install Garage Doors and sometimes don’t have electricity to test the motor. That would save a return trip.
I don’t have any M 18 batteries but being able to do something like that, makes me think about buying an M 18 and the top off.
It could but garage door opener could pull up to 15 amps on start up
@@robthetech5595 in that case, probably best to just get the Dewalt power station. I’m sure that thing will do it.
I fix Milwaukee tools for a living and I got to play with one of those top offs. Fun fact you can charge a m12 battery with a top off and a rapid charger.
Bet ya money that thing runs a modified sine ave as apposed to a true sign wave. That's why you can't run certain appliances even though it's rated.
12:22 He has a Van Gogh, Starry Night in his shop? Is that an original?
Not unless his ship is in NY :)
Thanks for trying different things. I think the fan is a pretty big plus.
Getting one for blackouts and earthquake prep kit.
5HP vacuum how is that possibility that's 31 amps at 120v
It may be 31 amps for a fraction of a second when you turn the vacuum on. A breaker will not trip if overloaded for a very short period of time. In reality, the continuous power of that shop vac is probably closer to 1 HP, which puts it well within the operating range of most breakers. Keep in mind that the 5 HP rating is a peak horsepower and is not really a useful spec since it only sees that power for less than a second. It’s just a marketing thing.
Try to plug in a temporary led construction work light in
It works
I like mine lots , I even use it at home for charging sensitive devices , when thunder and lightening are on the agenda !
Do you not charge your devices from a surge suppressor instead, and then only use the Milwaukee inverter AFTER the thunder and lightning takes your power out?
They did release a new Tower light, but that ain't it LOL! - Love You Guys! Happy Holidays!
Well Bauer makes a little inverter like this and theirs has more on it! Their's has 2 USB PORTS!! AND THE C PORT!! AND THE 110 PLUS A LIGHT ON IT!!
POWERS SAME SHIT!!
WORKS FANTASTIC!!! I GOT IT FOR MY LAMP AND FOR MY LAPTOP! RUNS MY LAMP LIKE 12 HRS?? Not sure on my LT yet!?
MW is like 99.99 to 189!!?? Bauer 49.99!! So u can have 2 3 more for the same price!!! And their batts and chargers r wayyy cheaper also!!! I got 4 5hrs!! And i am charging my others to have them ready when that one goes dn in my inverter!!
This one kid on YT says he's gonna charge his other MW batts off this inverter! So hey!?
U didnt try that Vince!? LOL Try plugging in the charger for their batts and actually charging the batts that's freakin charging this!!?? I think it's called irony?? Have ti check on that!?😊😅😂😂😂😂
This is a great show now days hehe I’ll tell ya it’s exiting to see such a test , so small battery yet it’s strong nice inverted
Ryobi has one of the worst brushed tools ever
is toys
@@rocketsmall4547 yeah something like that but yes they are toys
This is also great for school athletic functions for keeping laptops and cameras charged or Led lights for those early Raider Comp mornings
0:25 A bigger cordless table saw with optional 120V AC power!
Need to make a double top off for high drawing tools
I have 2 of these in my possession, and they both read 93-100 volts. I've tried with 4 different fully charged batteries. Not sure if this is normal.
Lmfao what are you going to Pop Off with your Top Off good one vince @vcgconstruction
Ryobi has a better one
Thanks for the great review I got the one that uses two M-18 batteries found on eBay hopefully it will run my air pump for my fish tank, but I agree anything two powerful it won't work but it's pretty cool they have these as i can see why someone might need to run a generator but don't want to run it all day and all night. So just charge your power tool batteries and your set to go. So having these can be a lifesaver if you ask me! Best tool idea of the year if you ask me!
Glasses for days
Those big shop-vacs pull way too much current for a top-off. Shop-Vacs trip the thermal breakers on power strips. Might as well try running a window AC unit. 175-watts is the capacity which is 1.5 Amps at 117 VAC. GR makes a small USB ammeter that costs $5 at Home Depot. Nice to use to verify that current is flowing. A Kill-A-Watt device costs $20 at Harbor Freight and is great for measuring 120 VAC current and power
Do you realize that 175 watts is about 1.5 amps? Watching your tests on devices that clearly draw well in excess of 1.5 amps was mildly frustrating. Like every time you pulled something out like the circular saw and asked “Will it power this saw?” I wanted to yell at my phone “NO”
A USB type A iPhone charger will only charge at 5.1v at 2.1amps as that is the limitation with USB A and not wilwalkee themselves. USB C however will charge at 3 amps at 5.2v - 20.3v. iPhones will only ever charge at 5.2v anyway as that’s the input voltage on the battery any more would fry it. But USB C is a far more capable peice of tech for not only charged g but data transfer too.
I do wonder what the output voltage is in the usb c and if it outputs at 20.3v or if it’s limited to 18v for harmonic reasons?
lol lying i make my power station with type A and type C like really lol that will not cut it for me lol Milwaukee its not only company make things with type Cand type A ok
That top off sucks doesn t work a keurig whats the point . Let alone no other tool ? Jut a box fan HAHA Milwaukee messed this 1 up they need to make m18 coffee machine already ITS $100. PHONE CHARGER /LAPTOP ....BOOOO
Charge your charger, unlimited power!!!
🤣
Your Pixel is not that power hungry when it is over 80% so that's not correct test. USB-C PD stands for Power Delivery and that is protocol where devices and chargers know the charging rate. The device requests something and if the charger is capable of it delivers otherwise it declines.The Pixel may charge at 5W when the battery percentage is over 90%. Some chargers divide the power others give full capability and so on. I like the video you did like the most people would do.
I ran my Chinese diesel heater off of it. 50 amp 120v stepped down to 12 v works just fine. to get that HSI to start it needs about 13 amps than drops down next to nothing to run.
Ultimate flex.... charge someone else’s small battery from your giant Milwaukee battery with a topoff... extra points if it’s dewalt... extra points if no power was even available
Milwaukee top off is a terrible name but I like the product. They should’ve went with “Power Source” or “Lightning Charge” I mean they have a frickin⚡️ on the tools. I won’t pay $100 for it tho, maybe 50.
Thanks vince i saved $100 because of your thoroughness yet again thanks bro
First time I saw this I went out and bought it. It's been a great tool all around. Great for having portable power for charging a phone, or a laptop for work. I've used it in limited capacity for certain key cutters I have. I've also plugged in a blower fan to it and used it as a quieter cordless alternative to my Ryobi. It has it's limited but cute charms to it's usability. I most like the fast USB-C charge port.
It would be handy if there were something else with more power that Milwaukee made. I know they have their MX system "generator" but that's a lot of dough to drop. I'd prefer something with say 2-4, maybe even 6 bays that gives up to 1000-1500 watts of pure sine wave power
Would this be powerfull enough to run hair clippers ?
@@gustavomacall4997 it might if the Clippers are under 175 watts but those likely run better with a pure sine wave inverter so not ideal
like the idea but i have the 80V mekita system, and really love the idea of turning my vacuum-90's model into a cordless using adapter like the one in video plus the flexibility it give's for others things. other tool brands need this and or slacking and need to make a better version of this 😉👍🤠
PS. it would be nice if it has a BI-directional function for power and stand by mode for whatever the power go's out
Would it power an angle grinder? Was hoping it would replace the need to get a cordless grinder and just bring my corded one to a job site and also keep it in my truck as a laptop charger
Reason I was considering getting one was for my shop vac. Thanks for testing!
For real?
Just buy the M18 shopvac.
Well that would suck... or wouldn't suck... you know what I mean....
I am sure the Milwaukee Top-off is a good product. My 1000Watt Renogy inverter has a hard time running my 5 Hp shop vac. There is no way a 175Watt inverter can run a 5 HP shop vac...
If Milwaukee can make their batteries power 120 then there should be no problemo making their damn miter and table saws also run off both Ac and DC. I bought the 7 inch miter saw because it was the best out there aside from the Kobalt and the kobalt makes me leery they'll discontinue the entire line. I love the damn saw, but it is also stopping me from investing in the 12 inch. I like the ideo of using both batteries and AC and prefer AC. Thankfully Milwaukee has an AC saw, but it's expensive. I'd like to get another crew running and replace my 780, but I refuse to fall for this battery swindle.You actually pay double for most battery operated tools vs corded first of all. Second, the electronics in the battery tools and especially in the brushless shit is a massive failure point compared to a simple AC tool. Third, batteries are the cheapest part of the damn tool to manufacture and their retail price is batshit crazy. I still have Milwaukee tools from the mid 90s when they were world class and there's no way any of these cordless tools last anywhere near two and a half decades. My rant aside, I dig this hub and it's quite useful.
I could have done without all the testing of the obvious that would not work and focused on some of the possibilities that might work that are relevant to a lot of us.
Things that I don't personally use a lot so I don't bother buying cordless.
Like: jigsaw, palm sander, Rotozip, Dremel.
Gotta have that tool. To know you can plug in a box fan and charge your stuff during a blackout is enough for me. Wonder if the tv would work with it.
Vince, would love to see a long term review on that DEWALT biscuit joiner 👍👍😎
Everything being above 50% charge isn’t really putting much load on this test. Bring everything down to 10% for these lithium ion powered device loads.
I bought one a almost 2 years ago used it for 1 day for an angle grinder it couldn’t power it so I set it on the shelf, I just pulled it back out for a road trip and it won’t turn on with a brand new fully charged battery, any ideas?
This would be a good little tool to run my aquarium air stones when there's a power outage to keep my fish alive.
My man Vince risking his laptop for us. Also he's like NO EFFFSSS GIVIN PLUGGING A DEWALT CABLE INTO MILWAUKEE TOOL! Haha love it!!!
Have two of them the first one the ac out let stop working sending it back
To milwaukee for rewerpair tomorrow .so i purchased another in case of a power
Outer at least i can run lamps while my POWER IS OUT
So this basically can run 1.5 Amp at 120v.... not too much but I mean for an 18v battery 🤷🏽♂️ not beeeyid
I can't be the only one that wants to see how you guys mounted those Milwaukee battery chargers in your shop. Genius!!
Pretty sure he did a video while back called tower of power or something like that but he did do one
Got this top off the product works but the battery is finicky to charge I have to move it in And out off the charger. I used the battery on my fan and got stuck…. Is anyone else having this problem.
Looks like that power supply has a fail safe for those high powered devices
Shutdowns immediately
If you can find it. Cant even order it online.
On site its says limited supply at store.
Even when I went to the store, not available
12.54pm on the laptop 9.04am on the notifications and 9.16am on the Google phone 📱 done at the same time or just using a old photo 🤔🤔.
Bought one and it wouldnt put out more than 98 volt a c. Returned it. Bought another one. Same problem. This one only put out 96 volts a c. You never tested the output with a volt meter. Low voltage damages all the things you ran.
Will run this small blower?
Amperage 8.3 AmpsVoltage 110 VoltsWattage 1000 watts
Powers 1 to 2 small devices at same time (and no appliances that generate heat). Bought one so I could stream tv during power outtages but returned it because it would run my tv and modem but not my xbox at same time
Need a Demo guy? Vince got me fistpumping the ceiling with that intro!!!
Darn it- and it wouldn't work on my Dyson vacuum. I hate unraveling that cord every time to suck up a bug from the ceiling.
Why doesn’t he just do math. The device says 175w. He is just plugging in things to keep people looking he knows they are not going to work.
I've had mine for a little over 2 weeks now. I was REALLY hoping that the 175 watts was way under estimating on MIlwaukee's behalf, but I guess not. The first thing I plugged in it was a dual battery Makita charger with 2- 5.0 batteries on it. It charged them. Next I tried a blender. That was a no go. Was kind of disappointed! Guess I need to try my 120 watt Peavey 6505+ guitar head and see if it will work! lol.
Did it work??? I have a PRS MT15 that I really need to take ice fishing.
@@ryanwilson5936 Plugged it in a few minutes ago. Played fine. You may wanna throw a noise gate in there, as I had some when I wasn't playing. My buddy bought a MT15 a couple months ago. Those things scream for 15 watts. lol.
@@jasonmartin7137
That’s just awesome man lol. Yeah, I have one of the first run MT15’s with the 6l6 power section and it’s a beast for sure.
I wonder how going through a Furman first would have helped noise.
@@ryanwilson5936 The Furman should help. The Peavey and my pedals are running thru one that's plugged into the wall. I don't have any noise that way, and I don't have a noise gate either. But the plug for the Furman is buried behind metal racks, and I was too lazy to move the racks! You should post a video of you jamming out on the ice. That'd be sweet.
I was hoping to throw my Traeger on this. Unfortunately the Traeger requires 300w for the initial startup. It then runs on 50w. Darn
Later this year USB C will have cables that can deliver 240w, now limited at 100w... No LED light built in?
In theory the mini fridge should have worked as it only uses 114 watts, and the power supply is rated at 175 watts. It must be able to sense large inductive loads which are all the tools with motors in them, and will not run due to the type of load that is connected.
Reason mini fridge won’t wk is bc the startup power req to start the compressor (inrush) can easily be 3 times or more of the 114watts it’s says it draws. It’s only a fraction of a second but it’s enough to overload the inverter.
That’s the only thing I need it for is a microwave.. sucks working on job sites without power and Microwave meals…
just look at the power requirement of the devices, the power supply says 175W. It's not going to run anything that draws more power than that like a 1000W microwave.
Thanks Vince! I think I'll still buy it, it's cheap enough for what it does.
Would love to see a review on the biscuit joiner @vcgconstruction
00:11:21
Ha!
Milwaukee power supply: we are the only people in the world to have a type c adapter
Dewalt: we can fixt that
Milwaukee: if u copy are idea we will sue u
Dewalt: um..... add a light to it
Milwaukee: .........
It worked with my corded Milwaukee orbital sander. Yes I know there is a M18 sander now but as much as I use it this works for me.
What about using the top off with Milwaukee rapid charger charging another m 18 battery??
All I want to do is plug in my milwaukee charger so I can charge another m18 battery. That would be cool 😎
