- The ALL NEW M18 Milwaukee TOP-OFF is amazing. This $99 device clicks onto the top of any M18 battery, giving you a 2.4amp USB port, a USB-C PD Port, and a 175w 120v 3 prong outlet that can power FAR MORE than we thought!

I can't wait to charge batteries with batteries in a never ending loop
Lol😆
Yeah full Nikola Tesla shit there
So funny.
Good for charging watch battery's. I use mine to hold paper from blowing away or filling up empty garbage bags.
We’re gonna be getting handys from Elon musk
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.
Chuckled when he pulled out the DeWalt charging bay. lol. So good! haha
Hey... it WORKED! :)
Was pretty funny, although if he plugged a Milwaukee charger into the dewalt he could probably charge 100+ batteries with it lol
thats the like the weakest charger dewalt makes btw lmao
Sounds like Milwaukee warned you about a lot of things with this tool. None of which y’all are listening too lol
They only gave us rules for the PIPELINE video we produced for them. This video was just US. We can do what we want! :)
@@ToolShow "You don't know me, I do what I want" 🤣
@@ToolShow warnings or not i want to thank you for the video you made. Everyone made videos with the top off, oh let's try this, oh let's try that. Now I know you did this also but you started off 2 steps better in my book, 1. by powering your whole production, 2. By explaining you were in the middle of a power outage. That right there is something in the back of everyone's brains when they saw these come out.
Suggestion; Run your load through a watt meter then into the TopOff and see what the true wattage rating is.
Most likely the max is either exactly 175W or around 200W
i said make your own power station with light battery and do much better run time
Awesome review!! Very thorough review. I’m getting 2 soon as it come out. Another Milwaukee collection for me!
I love the humor on this channel, and the information is great too. Thanks for this video, now I want a top-off! 😁👍
LOL glad ya dig it Michael. We appreciate the encouragement! We use all 3 of our top-offs daily, if only because they charge our devices faster. I also use one to extend my wifi through the woods to my neighbor whenever his internet goes out. :) The top off keeps my wifi extender going all day.
Great video. Exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks
Wow!!! I hope Santa (wife) is good to me this year lol... great video.. keep up the good work you guys!
Much appreciated! Be cool if they put ports so they batteries could be connected in series. Just a thought.
With all the Milwaukee stuff I bought this season, why was I hesitant? I’m on it, Great review!
That’s awesome! Definitely would be handy in an emergency
Please someone convince Milwaukee make a 230 volt version for us in Europe maybe with 2 batteries 🔋 💪
I'm sure it's on the agenda. I wish they offered the black pack out in the USA.
Eh they probably will do 230 but at 175 watts
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
@Tony Stamp the radio in transmit pushes 10 watts and had a low power draw when just recieving. I was on a icom 705. That power supply is 12 amp constant and I think 15 amp peak, I did my best to put it through its paces drawing as much during my test.
@Tony Stamp it's a great lil radio. I take my test for general upgrade this coming Thursday, hopefully Friday I'll be using it to it's full potential. K0MYK 73
@Tony Stamp i already have the extra book ready and waiting
@Tony Stamp i hope so, I've been listening a bunch so far. Hard not to reach out when it's just a mic key away but that week be soon. What's your call sign?
Great video, this show always makes me laugh.
Nice! We have a ton of Milwaukee stuff at our place and so far they’ve been working great
Perpetual power 😂😂 that made me laugh man great video
This guy is really funny! I enjoyed the review.
Thank you for doing this! So good. Now that this is out though, they’re just teasing us; I’m waiting for them to make something that will rival the DeWalt Portable Power Station with m18 batteries!
Tis here my son
I just hope this is something that will come out in australia, as I’ve heard this small battery top off pack thing won’t come out here due to voltage differences or something 🤷🏻♂️
Bravo 👏 great video as always
Just found about this channel and I freaking love it!!!!!!!! Subbed and bell notify ON!!
This tech is so awesome I might actually buy a m18 battery just so I can buy this thing!
Nice set of knipex behind him. Dudes got taste
I am a Ryobi team guy.
I have one with only 150 watt.from Ryobi and it can power a 12-14 inch regular cheap AC table fan.
But it won't power my AC glue gun.
Definitely works good for most AC led table lamps due to high energy efficiency of led lights.
Ryobi one is rubbish. I retuned it right away
Now if only Milwaukee made a m18 inverter that I could actually power those big tools it would be perfect.
They will eventually. Just like the cell phone they will slowly upgrade it to maximize profits of course
The do make a mx battery generator is just not out yet
Tis here my son
I can run my practice amp with one of these.
I can’t wait for camping trips this coming summer… as a bassist, I’ve never been able to play campfire songs with my friends.
“Preblended” 😂😂😂😂 who carry’s that kind of stuff around lmao
Paul Blart
Rob, good day. I hope the central power will be restored soon. It is easy to get carried away with this marvel of the electric remembering. P.S. I wonder if Sarah is aware of the "experiments" live alone your wife, please be careful you have two wonderful kids...
9:00 Maybe that split second of no power was the beginning of the '3 attempts-cycle' you noticed? The Top-Off managed the new draw after the 1st attempt perhaps.
Brilliant idea
Great video
Thanks!
Can you plug in an AC fan that does not have a power brick to the top off, then plug it into a wall outlet and compare if the noise of the fan changes?
Well done
It's about time, I was getting tired of asking where this video was.
Lol we appreciated your patience! We had a lot of other videos to make first.
@@ToolShow So if I understand this correctly, from this video. If I plug in somthing like an older corded sawzall, a red light will flash and It won't run. I don't have to worry about f***ing up the M18 Battery or Top-Off.
@@d.sack2727 In our experience, that is correct. We plugged in a ton of stuff that was WAY over the top, and each time it simply "tried" three times, and then a light went off. Hitting the power button gave us an instant restart and it worked great.
@@ToolShow thanks
I wonder what the efficiency is concerning the D.C.->A.C. conversion. Especially for a small unit such as this?
They need to make a Milwaukee power Wall like a Tesla wall. :)
with packout plus size
I don’t want to challenge the laws of physics here...but yeah I do!” 🤣
the the 175W inverter a pure sine wave or modified sine wave inverter?
That's impressive
Impression to see all that plugged into a power strip @Belts And Boxes
Hey man, you need to make a video just like this but with the new 1800w power supply they came out with, would love to see that!
It should be able to power almost anything with a power brick ie, anything that has a DC electronic circuit such as phone chargers, laptops, gaming consoles, etc. It might come in handy while camping with a Mr. Buddy propane heater, to run a dehumidifier at the same time.
When are we gonna get the Milwaukee line of battery backup home appliances?
will there be a 240v european version available in the future?
I have that dewalt power station and it's nice. It powers lots of things
So you can make margaritas on site with the blender🍹
I think I'm gonna grab one. $99 right now. I am absolutely fed up with misrepresented junk power bricks on amazon to charge my phone and the high-output USB-C on this is one of the reasons. Plus, I bet I'll find use for the 120V.
So worth it. Love mine.
I think this will be awesome for my CPAP machine when we go camping.
If you’re willing to swap 5Ah batteries every 2 hours, go right ahead.
Check your input voltage on your cpap. My dad loved camping, but his cpap made it difficult. He checked with the manufacturer and they sold a 12v cord, it was literally just a straight cord because the power brick dropped the 115v down to 12v DC. We made the cord with some spare parts we had instead of buying, and on a small (group 27) marine battery, he could go 4 nights without recharging the battery.
@@firebird8600 These batteries store about 1200 Wh of energy (12Vx100Ah). A Milwaukee 5Ah battery has about 81 Wh when using a 90% efficient boost converter (18Vx5Ahx0.9). That is about 7% of what you mention there ... Via the Topoff system you’ll lose MUCH more than that !
@@MyTubeSVp which is why I offered an alternative. The deep cycle battery adds a lot of weight, but so would carrying enough m18s to do the same.
I wonder if you could hook them in parallel .make a customs 3 way cord , this could double the amp out put
Can you use worx leaf blower with this inverter?
That thing word be cool to take camping, might be able to eliminate some uses of extention cords 🤔
No surprise that most high output tools won't work. My commercial grade uninterruptible power supplies (UPS's aka battery backups) which have much greater capacity and allowed discharge rates, won't power those kinds of tools. Agreed though, fun to try anyway.
Can I power a small ceramic heater?
Going to have to go MX if you want a coffee on site.
Dude lol I am buying one of those maybe two
I want to know how long a full charge will keep the tv running lol... winter is coming and usually we have blackouts...
I only use mine for my lasonik ghetto blaster that would either take 16 D or C battery’s for 11 mins of power or take a wall plug. Hence I get unlimited power to my boom box. I got over 50 batteries from Milwaukee (8 of which are 12.0 Hd.) I mostly just use the 12hd’s IT WORKS GREAT TO POWER BOOM BOX OR BLUETOOTH THUMPERS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! I’m
Talking loud music for a crew or crowd of 12+ p.s my laconic 915 doubles as a guitar amp and microphone. Jus saying.
They definitely need to make a 4 battery inverter so I can make coffee
You could make your coffee cordless with Makita's LXT coffee machine ;-)
@@simonm1447 that’s actually pretty cool I didn’t even know Makita made this.
@@christechguy There are even 2 models, the older DCM 500 with the option of 18 V LXT or AC plug in, and the newer DCM 501 with the option of 12 V MAX or 18 V LXT plug in (it's working with 12 or 18 V).
@@simonm1447 Oh nice!
They have one now. It's $799 inverter and takes 4*M18 batteries.
The best skit was charging the dewalt batteries. Had me busting up
A coffee maker would be an incredible thing haha
What kind of lights are you using? I'm looking for some for my cubevan when I am bending aluminum in the back.
We use simple jobsite lamps with LED bulbs for our hair lights (overhead), but our primary and fill lights are Falcon Eyes S0-68TD 27" LED video lights. You can learn more about them here: ua-cam.com/video/y77gnNkB-Ko/v-deo.html
They're AMAZING, and worth every penny. We also have some of the smaller versions we use when moving around the property.
When will these be available?
Also another great feature the top off has is the perfreials for super fast charging 2.0 for the 2019 galaxy note 10+ 5g as well as the 2020 Samsung galaxy s20 models and the Samsung galaxy note 20 models have the fast charger for pd port as well as the super fast charging 2.o which uses pd 3.0 in conjuction as well as PPS which is programmable power supply perfreials to alow the super fast charging 2.0 here some info this milwaukee top off is the only charger that has these capabilities other then 1 20000 mah power bank in the world right now here some info below...
Samsung's Super Fast Charging 2.0 (SFC 2.0) requires chargers to support two standards: USB Power Delivery 3.0 (USB PD 3.0) and Programmable Power Supply (PPS). ... This allows the charger to ramp up to higher voltages when conditions permit, then slow down when the battery needs to cool off.
Hi Robert, I am a recent subscriber and really enjoying all Belts and Boxes videos. I was wondering if you could recommend a reversible ratcheting wrench set for a DIYer? Not a cheap made one either. What are your thoughts?
I'd be confident recommending anything from GearWrench. Here's an 8 pc set for $117 that currently includes a free Lufkin Tape Measure, which is pretty awesome too.
Or, if that "Buckeye" in your name means you're an Ohioan like we are, and you'd like to support local/Made in the USA, I'd suggest you look at Wright Tools. They're made here in Ohio and have a fantastic reputation. You can find their reversible ratcheting box wrenches here: www.ohiopowertool.com/m-2225-wright-offset-ratcheting-box-wrenches-reversible.aspx
We need a job site microwave from Milwaukee
with packout
These appliances are 230V/AC or 210V/Ac required. How can start with the low Voltage DC?
😊😊
Coffeemaker and application but, be careful overload cut-off
The issue, is it ups grade so it doesn't destroy electronics over time. Uninterrupted Power Source means it has a true clean sine wave that's safe for electronics.
No, this doesn't have the pure sine you're referring to.
I agree the top off charge the fastest if you use a USB c to USB c cable on Samsung note 10 + 5g 2019 model and 2020 Samsung s20 and new Samsung galaxy note 20 + devices it will activate super fast charging 2.0 is amazing charges my note 10+ 5g while it on from 5 percent battery to 100 percent charge in 40 minutes
How long do you think I can run 150 watt LED Studio light? And what battery size?
Does anyone know if this can power a HVAC vacuum pump?
we so need a pack-out coffee-maker/powerbank/inverter unit, maybe with an MXfuel battery...
They have an inverter in mx line 2000 watts i believe.
@@rightsdontcomewithpermits7073 somebody should make pack-out brackets for it...
@@rightsdontcomewithpermits7073 Hmmm, it doesn't look like that's gonna happen: announced in 2019, and still "coming soon":

When is this along with the new packout stuff coming to Aus?
Milwaukee, solving world crisis since the 1900s.
@Belts And Boxes. Okay Rob. I guess this video answers my question. You forgot to call Miss Utility before digging. Hope your neighbors don't find out.
Seriously, thanks for answering the questions on what I can power with a Milwaukee M18 TOP-OFF. Looks like you've enough Milwaukee batteries to ride out the blackout. Enough TOP-OFFs and batteries for the rest of your family?
Hope you, Sarah, your crew, and your families stay safe and well.
Thanks! We're all well. And yeah, the power goes out here at least twice a month, and we always have a pile of batteries to keep things running. If it goes more than 4 hours, we plug our fridge into the Dewalt power station, and those 4 huge Flexvolt batteries keep it running for hours!
No Info on charging? Charge time, charging options, i.e. 12v from your truck or solar possibly?
Can this power a vacuum pump?
Real talk though, if milwaukee and keurig teamed up, they could probably produce some quality machine to get you near instant boiling water on the jobsite, or on a camping trip. I wonder if Milwaukee has considered some sort of solar charger...
the jetboil is decently compact if you're looking for a solution
They want you to spend the $$$ on their MX version. At 175 watt output, you would need the equivalent of 10: 12AH batteries to power most power tools briefly. At $200 a battery, were close to the MX version. So at $2k, you can buy a really nice battery powered inverter. There’s always a trade off.
You have no idea what you're talking about do you
It says in the specs it only provide 175 watts. Which is not bad, and surprised it actually powered all the devices in the video opening.
As I mentioned, it was close. Once we added the TV and Switch to the studio equipment, the fan was pretty loud on the TOP-OFF. We were obviously stressing it. And as we added each thing to the power strip, it would cut power completely momentarily. Still really impressed.
@@ToolShow I like the overload protection that it has. It shuts down, but allows you to bring it back easily.
@@scottmorris4914 It really is something. It's not like we're switching a fuse or something. It just peacefully clicks off, you hit the button, and BAM. Instantly back in business. Really well built.
It'd be cool if there was some way to plug them into each other to double the wattage
Get into election engineering and make it happen!!
Uhh electrical* haha
You should plug one of the new flex fast chargers into that apparently their new battery technology disperses the new energy more wisely and equally
Could you try a small air compressor
Try a heated blanket. For like sports events.
Can't wait to get mine, will be awesome for camping
MarioCart player spotted.. .SUBBED
Will it work the same with a less powerful battery like the M18 XC 5.0?
Yes. The TOP-OFF doesn't take advantage of the High-Output batteries.
Will it run a dometic cooler?
I hope milwaukee makes a Jackery style power bank
The blender and vac does the pulsing because of the internal initial start capacitor, I assume.
DeWalt powerstation laughs in 1000W microwave beeps.
DeWalt please make a 200W version. Dual pack if you have to.
Maybe a TSATK version of the power station 1000W (1500Wpeak).
Milwaukee laughs at your DeWalt budget ;-)
The MXfuel powerstation can do '40 Meals 1000W Microwave'

Milwuakee m18 station is here. Hold this L once again Dewalt fanboy
So milwaukee can't make a coffee machine powered by a 12 H.O battery but makita can make it happen with a tiny 12v battery🤔
They can. They haven’t. Which is different lol
Yes. They absolutely need to make a coffee maker. Not a stupid k cup one. Real coffee maker. This video is exactly what I was wondering about this unit
Makita have a coffee maker machine
Can you run both batteries in series then try running the mini fridge?
You mean parallel ;)
Dometic fridge cooler for overlanding.
We want a Packout Keurig!
that router looks like my craftsman like identical so craftsman must have lost the patent lmao
The beginning of this video is cool because it makes sense - electronic devices don’t surge when they “start up”.
The rest of the video is laughable because most everyone knows when an electric MOTOR starts it draws a LOT of power. This is why when your air conditioner or central air kicks on the lights dim for a split second.
I’m buying one for my modem & router. It’s my understanding that even when the power goes out cable TV & internet feeds are still live, but without power for the modem (and WiFi router) it’s worthless.
Maybe I’m wrong about cable being live during a power outage (I never had the means to test it) but if I am, I’m sure I can find another use for this thing.
Oh yeah! MarioKart
What kind of camera is he using that he have to plug it in?
We use a Lumix GH5 for our studio shots. It can run on batteries, but we have a full rig setup that includes an AC (dummy) battery that keeps it plugged in so we don't have to use batteries and risk them running out. We also use a GH4, GH2 and a few GF cameras in the rest of our video production.
will a top off run a printer ?? this would be great for a mobile office in a work truck, Thanks in advance
Except for the giant commercial ones, yes
