Knowing how many of you have been eagerly awaiting its arrival, I thought you might be interested in hearing that the new Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless air compressor has started to ship (model 2840-20).
It features a 2 gallon air tank, 135 PSI max pressure, 1.2 CFM at 90 PSI airflow, 68 dBA noise level, oil-free pump, and weights 31.2 lbs without a battery.
If you haven’t already bought into Milwaukee’s M18 cordless power tool system, or only own compact batteries, you will likely want to pick up a modern high capacity battery pack as well, since the air compressor only ships as a bare tool.
Price: $349

Compared to Milwaukee’s new M18 Fuel cordless air compressor, the existing Dewalt FlexVolt model is lighter, despite having slightly greater air capacity, and less expensive at $299 for the kit.
Milwaukee’s cordless air compressor is quieter and is designed to be transported on top of a rolling stack of Packout tool boxes.

We haven’t seen it in person yet, and are unable to answer any usage or performance questions at this time, but I hope to get my hands on one soon.
Raise your hands if you’re buying one at launch. Or are you planning to buy one later in the year?
