I picked this up because I’m already on the Milwaukee platform. My two issues I had after watching reviews. I don’t like the extra adapter. I thought it was to noisy. After getting it it wasn’t as noisy as I thought it would be. I’m liking it.
Yes, I am a Milwaukee Fan Boy. I gotta say, I'm a huge fan when it comes to this Milwaukee Fan. The lighting bolt logo alone has blown the socks off my feet before it was ever turned on. I don't know what else to say, I'm blown away. Kidding aside, I really wish they let you plug in an extension cord
I bought this fan and think they under estimated the run time. It runs strong and long. Love it. Good acting Dan. Hollywood is calling. Lol. Love your show. TiA!!!!
A cool throw back nod from Milwaukee to corded stuff would be to put the old quick release twist cord socket On this fan that the corded sawzalls have or had. Great cords. This fan rocks with the 9.0 seems to run forever. I use daily.
the separated power cord does suck though, dunno why they went that way and now with a regular extension cord plug in...other that that love it...haven't really had much experience with job site fans but when I worked in Georgia and Afghanistan the Army had those big swamp coolers which worked great in the summer time!
TheBearuk1 I have a few Ryobi tools still and batteries so I probably won't pay 80 dollars for this. The plug in is a nice option, but it seems kinda 1/2 assed to be honest with having to use a wall wart dc plug. I think Milwaukee decided that people are only using battery power 99% of the time, so they decided we will include this but implement it bad. Its like the M12 radio similar deal they didn't use a nice real 110 cord its a lame 12v dc wall wart power cord that's easy to lose. Same thing i bet 99% of people with the M12 radio never use ac power. I'm a big Milwaukee power tool fan, but this tool isn't their normal innovative quality.
DarkRaptor99 i agree with all that DR, half assed is the word on the power cord design, big bulky cheap plastic box that you will lose for sure, good fan poorly done! I hope DeWalt comes out with something better!
To measure the CFM ( cubic feet per minute ) the tool you need is a manometer. I need more power than that here in Florida will run for 5 hours cause hot. Nice looking fan MAY THE TOOLS BE WITH YOU!
I rarely need a fan on the jobsite but this would be useful if I ever have to work in a recently painted room, especially on those sites where the electrical is being worked on as well so I have no power. If I had it I'd probably just use it in my garage, keep the air moving in that hot box!
I'm thinking the Ridgid release may be the best option of the three. Easy to plug in without an accessory, good run time, good airflow. This fan looks great, but since I have M18 and Ridgid 18v batteries, I'll probably send my $$$ that way.
I just bought this fan along with a 18v 3amp battery 2 pak...I'm already a Milwaukee fan with a good set of both their 12v & 18v cordless tools...BUT...I would like Milwaukee to listen...this is below their usual product innovation..No built in hooks or hangers(don't most of their other tools have rafter hooks and such?) and needing an adapter to carry along or lose when other cheaper competitors products don't is quite surprising...It's a good basic fan but at almost twice the price it should surpass the competitors. Now for the fan....It feels sturdy, moves a fair amount of air for it's blade size, and has great battery life on low speed. I just ran a fully charged 3 amp battery on low speed for a little over 11 hours!...that's right, 11 hours on only a 3 amp battery. Overall not really impressed, in fact least impressive tool I've ever bought from Milwaukee...I needed a cordless fan and didn't want to buy another set of batteries and charger that won't do a thing for all the tools I all ready have, so this is it...
Love the intro guys, had me laughing. I am glad you compared to the Ryobi. But like they said the Milwaukee "Fan" will buy the Milwaukee fan. I saw HD has the Ryobi kit that includes the fan, radio, LED light, charger, and battery for $99.
Haha, loved the hurricane in the beginning and your thumbnail title..lol I sweat like crazy and its been 100 degrees here everyday and working in an attic sucks this time a year. Does anybody want to be an electrician helper and run wire in attics for me.lol
Best intro yet. lol The battery placement looks really nice when compared to the Ryobi, but the cord thing is a huge issue for me because I will lose it. So I would agree, the Ryobi is overall better.
When compared it kinda seems like it's not worth it. But recommend only for Milwaukee users. Curios if I could make a cheap a/c bucket with this. Like the doityourself video
GEORGE ZARIFIS No. You're unlikely to see products besides chargers that can charge because modern chargers have advanced circuitry, fans, etc. to increase long-term life of the batteries. That increases product cost. Just buy another battery with your savings. :-P Also, eff this fan; its specs are garbage compared to pretty much everything.
great fan from big red...im hoping DeWalt is gonna bring out something similar soon, I have plenty of batteries to fit!...lol Great video guys, enjoyed Periscope today it as a blast!
Being primarily a Milwaukee tool user, I wouldn't buy their fan. It seems as if they rushed it to market just to have one out there with no real thought involved in it's design. Having to use a adaptor to power it with AC is nonsense. Shame on you Milwaukee for trying to pawn this thing off on your loyal consumers.
Mike L. Check out the rigid fan 2 times as strong with nice features hangers and holes to slide on poles or Jack handles tubes or sticks sure wish Milwaukee's adds those features plus the extension,plug,in idea
I love Milwaukee but 80 bucks...you'd think that'd include at least a 1.5 Ah battery. This is definitely something that Milwaukee just wants you to buy for the name on the box.
Josh Trevino Milwaukee is a shooting a little high on the price for this one. You can get one of their brushed drill special buys at Home Depot with one battery for $99. I don't see the value at 80 bucks
I got an old Ryobi One+ (The old blue model) 18V fan I use a lot. I like to sit in the garage in my folding camp chair with a cold one listening to the voices in my head while letting it blow on my balls. I'm an old burned out pipe welder (Local 725) and that is perfectly subspectable behavior with the door down. It runs for hours on high but the pin heads at Ryobi quit making that model. It has a larger blade circumference than the new ones and it pisses me off that they couldn't leave a good thing alone. Oh yeah, GREAT show so I'm a new scubsriber
Great video guys! Hilarious and informative. Can you please le let me know if you would advise using this fan while sitting in a hot car with the windows rolled up?
I have both Ryobi And Milwaukee tools, Hard call. Like to see a comparison on battery runtime?. If I get twice the runtime on the Milwaukee it's hands down :) My Ryobi 4ah Lithium's are less than a year old and I notice they drain a lot faster than my Milw 4ah batts do...Thats the only big draw back for me otherwise.
Yes I have one however it should come with a normal power plug and when plugged in to the wall, it should recharge the battery if one is installed. Come on, it’s not too much to ask for.
LOL Blow Me!!! And the intro was hilarious guys!!! I'm with u guys I the ryobi I really like the mounting options compared to the milwaukee I mean don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind taking either but if I had batteries for ryobi I would definitely go ryobi. Thanks guys!! T.I.A#1!!!!!!!
Plumber here... they are Good to have on hot days for a residential service work area or back of the truck. But commercial areas this isn't helpful or big enough... I have two. I use them most in the back of the truck.
I've never been a "FAN BOY"FOR any company and I'm pretty pissed off cause MILWAUKEE IS SO ON TOP OF THE CUSTOMER'S SIDE WITH THESE AWESOME TOOLS THAT I'VE DONE SPENT 4000$ 5000$ ON THERE BRAND..THE CEO OF MILWAUKEE IS A GOD..I TELL U IF THEY MADE THERE TOOLS HERE IN THE U.S.A. HE WOULD PROBABLY BE POTUS IN 2024 IF HE WANTED..
That cord sucks just like on the m12 radio, this thing is 80 bucks use a real cord....beginning funny he started tossing anything at you...must of been good no heavy objects came flying like hammers and drills oh my..
Great intro! Left a big smile on my face! Damn shame that Milwaukee is releasing this hunk of plastic as their introduction to the cordless fan market. No extension cord capability, poor CFM output, lackluster run time. I bleed red (no pun intended), but as much as i've been hoping for a milwaukee fan, I'm going to pass on this "Innovative" product. Thank you for uploading!
17 hours on low is a lot for something like a fan. that translates to at least 4 hours on high and thatll save your life in an attic. Milwaukee is mostly for electricians and when i used to do electrical work being in attics for hours with no ventilation theres been many times ive almost passed out and been left up there. and itd just be nice to be able to wheel around a fan when you are set up working outside in the sun. im planning on rigging it on my neighbors push mower when she has to mow lol.
Yea, its weird how this fan seem to be the worse than the other TTI tools from Ryobi and Ridgid. It's also expensive at 80 bucks also. The Ryobi is 40 and the Ridgid is 60 and they have more options to mount the fan and they plug directly into an extension cord. I'm not impressed with this tool its kinda like the M18 multitool nothing really innovative about it. I have some words to say to the Milwaukee product manager on this one a copy of the Robi fan just red and back with M18 battery support would have been preferable.
Only TIA can pull off BLOW ME!! hahaha. That's great Awesome intro also! Seems like a blah product from Milwaukee just so they could have a fan also.. it seems chunky and I agree the extension cord plug in would have been great to have.. I hate those AC/DC adapters. Never use them
hilarious intro guys - that was funny :D nice little fan but wow double the price of the ryobi fan. but a real red team nut doesnt care, he just gonna buy it :P
Hey funny video guys! Pretty nice fan but it's pretty spendy and lacks some of the features of the other sister company's fans. I hope to see a price drop, and then maybe...
The specs on this thing are kinda... garbage. :-\ Crappy CFM, crappy runtime. 17 hours on a 5.0Ah battery? The Ridgid 18V got 35 hours (DOUBLE!) on a 4.0Ah battery. And its CFMs are nearly double too... 475CFM vs. 284. No thanks, Milwaukee. Try again. Also, $80... nope.
I rarely need a fan on the jobsite but this would be useful if I ever have to work in a recently painted room, especially on those sites where the electrical is being worked on as well so I have no power. If I had it I'd probably just use it in my garage, keep the air moving in that hot box!

I've had this fan for 3or4 years now and I use it every single night..awesome..I've even used it in my work truck a life saver
Yes, I am a Milwaukee Fan Boy. I gotta say, I'm a huge fan when it comes to this Milwaukee Fan. The lighting bolt logo alone has blown the socks off my feet before it was ever turned on. I don't know what else to say, I'm blown away. Kidding aside, I really wish they let you plug in an extension cord
😅
I bought this fan and think they under estimated the run time. It runs strong and long. Love it. Good acting Dan. Hollywood is calling. Lol. Love your show. TiA!!!!
Charles Camilleri Thanks Charles. I am pretty sure this fan will have the longest runtime of any fan especially with 6.0 and the new 9.0 batteries.
A cool throw back nod from Milwaukee to corded stuff would be to put the old quick release twist cord socket On this fan that the corded sawzalls have or had. Great cords. This fan rocks with the 9.0 seems to run forever. I use daily.

I need more power than that here in Florida will run for 5 hours cause hot.
Nice looking fan
MAY THE TOOLS BE WITH YOU!
That really blew u away. Milwaukee fan boys u finally have a fan. Alright that was bad. Just could not resist
I rarely need a fan on the jobsite but this would be useful if I ever have to work in a recently painted room, especially on those sites where the electrical is being worked on as well so I have no power. If I had it I'd probably just use it in my garage, keep the air moving in that hot box!
Ridgid came out with a nice looking hybrid fan too that has some cool hanging features.. Same TTI family I believe.
I'm thinking the Ridgid release may be the best option of the three. Easy to plug in without an accessory, good run time, good airflow. This fan looks great, but since I have M18 and Ridgid 18v batteries, I'll probably send my $$$ that way.
I love my ryobi fan, I'm just starting to expand my tools and I definitely want to get the ridgid fan aswell... Great videos guys
Haha you guys finally uploaded it! I saw the into on periscope the other day and have been waiting for it.
Troomoo lol Yes :}
Does the 12.0 battery fit this fan ?
It should
It fits, but will stick out at the bottom
so wen you put the fan on,lets say a table, the fan will be resting on the batterie
Damn that intro killed me, nice one gents.
Great video. Will there be a new Milwaukee M18 Fuel jigsaw coming out soon/2015?!?!
Frazer Ross They didnt mention it
I just bought this fan along with a 18v 3amp battery 2 pak...I'm already a Milwaukee fan with a good set of both their 12v & 18v cordless tools...BUT...I would like Milwaukee to listen...this is below their usual product innovation..No built in hooks or hangers(don't most of their other tools have rafter hooks and such?) and needing an adapter to carry along or lose when other cheaper competitors products don't is quite surprising...It's a good basic fan but at almost twice the price it should surpass the competitors.

hahahah that intro was the flipping best. i have the Ryobi fan and i love it but this i have to get, you can never have too many fans!
Peter Wettersten True that
wich one blows harder? Mikwaukee or the ryobi
Love the intro guys, had me laughing. I am glad you compared to the Ryobi. But like they said the Milwaukee "Fan" will buy the Milwaukee fan. I saw HD has the Ryobi kit that includes the fan, radio, LED light, charger, and battery for $99.
Russ Webster That's seems like a good deal, might check that out.
Nor Draw Yea, that is an awesome deal
Hidden benefit, you can use that adaptor for all of your tools. ...
Bradley boulanger ..Except there is no where to plug it in for all the other tools....
You mean jackets
Ok now the dewalt version?
Why do you not review festool?
red stihl We do. We have some in the works right now :}
Oh great, thanks!
Hey guys. Any solar panel videos in the future?
Since all the "world is ending" movies r out. Figured I could make a shopping list so I can get ready
Juan Duran That would be awesome
Haha, loved the hurricane in the beginning and your thumbnail title..lol I sweat like crazy and its been 100 degrees here everyday and working in an attic sucks this time a year. Does anybody want to be an electrician helper and run wire in attics for me.lol
I do hvac work in southern virginia and it seems like the only time we are in attics is summertime. I feel your pain bro
lobsterbushbroo I do Hvac work also and thankfully there's not to to many units in attics here but all the duct work is
Justin Hernandez Fans would be huge for you guys
Tools In Action I'm using a 20 inch floor fan it takes up alot of space in the truck but moves a lot of air
Best intro yet. lol
The battery placement looks really nice when compared to the Ryobi, but the cord thing is a huge issue for me because I will lose it. So I would agree, the Ryobi is overall better.
Matthew Wiswell lol thanks
Seems like a good tool. I actually am considering switching from craftsman to Milwaukee tools.
Awesome intro haha. I am alway curious to see Milwaukee tools.
Nick Lehnhoff Thanks Nick
When compared it kinda seems like it's not worth it. But recommend only for Milwaukee users. Curios if I could make a cheap a/c bucket with this. Like the doityourself video
Can this fan charge batteries?
GEORGE ZARIFIS No. You're unlikely to see products besides chargers that can charge because modern chargers have advanced circuitry, fans, etc. to increase long-term life of the batteries. That increases product cost. Just buy another battery with your savings. :-P Also, eff this fan; its specs are garbage compared to pretty much everything.
Josh Olson Dewalt jobsite radios can charge batteries...
Right. I said unlikely. If it could charge batteries, Tools In Action would have mentioned it. They're pros afterall ;-)
Josh Olson LMAO! You rock Josh! No, it cannot charge batteries
GEORGE ZARIFIS The Milwaukee Bluetooth charger radio does as well.
I don't recon it charges the battery when hooked to ac
great fan from big red...im hoping DeWalt is gonna bring out something similar soon, I have plenty of batteries to fit!...lol Great video guys, enjoyed Periscope today it as a blast!
As someone who has one I thought I wasted my money. I use it everyday at home and work I took it to the beach it works well
It's been awhile since we last saw some shenanigans! It's good to have fans right guys?
Brien Yes it is
Being primarily a Milwaukee tool user, I wouldn't buy their fan. It seems as if they rushed it to market just to have one out there with no real thought involved in it's design.

Yogi Beer I'm a hydronics pipe welder and just got Milwaukee to keep my balls cool as well. Cheers to that lol
best intro ever
We don't do a lot of Milwuakee. No truer words have been spoken as you have a Milwaukee toolbox behind you filled with Dewalt tools. Lol
More Milwaukee let's hear some of the secret stuff that's coming in August please. Great fan great video you guys are awesome
Eric DuPlantier We will tell you August 1st lol
can't wait for the milwaukee give away!!
Great video guys! Hilarious and informative. Can you please le let me know if you would advise using this fan while sitting in a hot car with the windows rolled up?
sure but why not open the windows
I love my ryobi fan, but the battery placement drives me nuts. Milwaukee designed theirs right
I have both Ryobi And Milwaukee tools, Hard call. Like to see a comparison on battery runtime?. If I get twice the runtime on the Milwaukee it's hands down :)

If I could plug an extension cord right in, I'd buy it. But the extra part....deal breaker.
Plumber here...
they are Good to have on hot days for a residential service work area or back of the truck. But commercial areas this isn't helpful or big enough... I have two. I use them most in the back of the truck.
JT Plumbing great on a lift or in small mechanical closets
Haha loved the intro but from reading the comments below it seems Milwaukee dropped the ball on this one.
I've never been a "FAN BOY"FOR any company and I'm pretty pissed off cause MILWAUKEE IS SO ON TOP OF THE CUSTOMER'S SIDE WITH THESE AWESOME TOOLS THAT I'VE DONE SPENT 4000$ 5000$ ON THERE BRAND..THE CEO OF MILWAUKEE IS A GOD..I TELL U IF THEY MADE THERE TOOLS HERE IN THE U.S.A. HE WOULD PROBABLY BE POTUS IN 2024 IF HE WANTED..
3:36 He NEVER said "Luke, I am you father" in the movie. Go watch it if you don't believe me.
Ok...that was friggin awesome!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny! And dude! Time to clean up the garage!!!
Chris K Yes! When are you coming? lol
Name the time, I'll be there! Keeping in mind finders keepers ;)
That cord sucks just like on the m12 radio, this thing is 80 bucks use a real cord....beginning funny he started tossing anything at you...must of been good no heavy objects came flying like hammers and drills oh my..

Man that thing is powerful LOL I am like you Dan the Ryobi cord is a better setup but both are nice fans.TIA
Charlie Thompson I love the ryobi fan
Safety first
That’s your biggest fan ever Hahahah
Only TIA can pull off BLOW ME!! hahaha. That's great
Awesome intro also!
Seems like a blah product from Milwaukee just so they could have a fan also.. it seems chunky and I agree the extension cord plug in would have been great to have.. I hate those AC/DC adapters. Never use them
NERemodeling lol, Yea I always lose those AC adapters got a pile of them no clue what they are too
hilarious intro guys - that was funny :D
nice little fan but wow double the price of the ryobi fan.
but a real red team nut doesnt care, he just gonna buy it :P
Alex Augusta Very True
I was waiting on this fan since they told about it. It sucks that I have to go with Ridgid or even Ryobi. Shame on you Milwaukee for this one.
Get the ridgid fan and to a tool fight.
danielratti1987 Great idea
Hey funny video guys! Pretty nice fan but it's pretty spendy and lacks some of the features of the other sister company's fans. I hope to see a price drop, and then maybe...
Bothuhead 19 Thanks man
wrong platform but looks nice
This fan is 5.2 lbs not 1.2
Bought one for $100 and motor burned up after 2 weeks
Dewalt. Fan
well i'll be blowed...lol
TheBearuk1 lol
Joe Pesci is that you?
+Abel Casanova lol

Helloooo. Hellooooo. Haha.
Pretty sure the shorter guy is drunk. Definitely slurring.
I think it's time for u to come out of the closet
Lmao😂
what a couple of juveniles grow up!
The specs on this thing are kinda... garbage. :-\ Crappy CFM, crappy runtime. 17 hours on a 5.0Ah battery? The Ridgid 18V got 35 hours (DOUBLE!) on a 4.0Ah battery. And its CFMs are nearly double too... 475CFM vs. 284. No thanks, Milwaukee. Try again. Also, $80... nope.
I thought this was a review about a Milwaukee fan not abut two 50 year old virgins, I'm out !
0.00 to 0.30 Eric don't give a CRAP.
Why do they have to make Milchinky tools look so ugly and cheap
I rarely need a fan on the jobsite but this would be useful if I ever have to work in a recently painted room, especially on those sites where the electrical is being worked on as well so I have no power. If I had it I'd probably just use it in my garage, keep the air moving in that hot box!
JC Fans are great to have
