Is There a Way to Use M18 Tools with a Direct Outlet Plug?
Asked by M4ke$hift_Guru
I'm looking for a way to keep my M18 tools, specifically my compressor and table saw, plugged in permanently in my workshop. I want to avoid the hassle of swapping batteries constantly. Has anyone heard of a solution, like a corded attachment that connects to the battery terminals and lets you plug into a wall outlet?

Unfortunately, as far as I know, there aren't any official options for converting Milwaukee M18 tools to work via a direct power outlet. You might find aftermarket solutions, but I've never personally seen one. So, it's kind of a bummer if you're looking for that setup!

So, Flex actually has a power adapter for their tools, which might be the nearest thing to what you're after. Here's a link to check it out: https://www.flexpowertools.com/24v-power-adapter-fx0511/. It's not for Milwaukee gear, but if you're flexible with brands, this could be a decent workaround.

While Milwaukee doesn't offer such an option, Metabo has a setup for their multivolt tools that allows for corded operation. It's worth checking out if you're open to switching brands or tools!
