Industrial Precision, Instantly Organized
This duo brings a clean, architectural utility to the workspace—bold Milwaukee red wrapped in a modular form that nests seamlessly into your PACKOUT stack.

AI Review Summary:
Across retailer reviews, buyers praise the vacuum’s strong suction for its size, quiet operation around 87 dB, and the convenience of PACKOUT stacking and onboard storage. Many say the grinder has excellent power comparable to corded, with smooth paddle-switch ergonomics. Positive themes: compact footprint, effective HEPA filtration, and durable build. Neutral: runtime depends heavily on battery size—most recommend HO 6.0–8.0Ah packs. Negative: some report the included hose is a bit stiff and the 2.5-gal capacity fills fast on larger jobs; kit does not include batteries/charger. Representative quotes: “Small but mighty—great suction for drywall and concrete dust,” “Grinder rips like a corded 11 amp,” and “Wish the hose was more flexible and capacity bigger for demo work.”
