Power Where You Need It: Real-World Uses of the Milwaukee M18™ TOP-OFF™ 175W Power Supply

In the trades, time is money—and downtime due to dead batteries or limited power access can be a real productivity killer. That's where Milwaukee’s M18™ TOP-OFF™ 175W Power Supply comes in. Designed to bring reliable, portable power to the jobsite, this compact inverter is becoming an essential tool across a wide range of trades. It's not just another jobsite gadget—it's a practical solution to a problem every pro has faced.

Built for the Field: 175 Watts of Practical Power

At the core, the M18™ TOP-OFF™ delivers 175W of continuous power through a 120V AC outlet, a USB-A port (2.4A), and a USB-C PD port (up to 45W). It runs off any Milwaukee M18™ battery, turning it into a mobile charging station. Whether you’re in a high-rise under construction or a service van on the move, you now have access to essential power without hunting for a wall outlet.

Who's Using the M18™ TOP-OFF™?

🛠 Electricians

For electricians working on unfinished sites, wall power isn’t always available or reliable. The TOP-OFF lets them charge tablets for digital schematics, power label makers, or even keep their phones alive for communication and blueprints—all without leaving the work area.

🔧 HVAC Techs

Techs servicing rooftop units or mechanical rooms can’t rely on being near a power source. With the TOP-OFF, they can charge meters, power inspection lights, and run diagnostic devices right where they’re working. It’s compact enough to clip to a cart or hook onto a rafter using the integrated rafter hook.

🔨 Carpenters & Framers

From powering laser levels to keeping tablets charged for plan review, framers working on remote builds or large job sites benefit from instant, mobile electricity. With the USB-C port capable of 45W, even laptops stay charged between site check-ins.

🧰 Service Techs & Facility Maintenance Crews

For those maintaining large commercial or industrial facilities, walking back to a shop or cart to charge gear wastes precious minutes. Facility techs are clipping the TOP-OFF to their tool carts or belt loops and keeping radios, scanners, and handheld diagnostic tools powered all day.

🪛 Low Voltage & Network Installers

From setting up security systems to running cable through attics and ceilings, these pros often work in unfinished or hard-to-reach areas. The M18™ TOP-OFF™ provides just enough juice to keep tablets, testers, and crimpers running—without the bulk of a generator or extension cords.

More Than a Charger: It’s a Workflow Upgrade

This isn’t just a charger—it’s a workflow tool. It cuts down on trips back to the van, eliminates the frustration of power limitations, and keeps crews on task. Its compact size and rugged design make it a no-brainer for anyone who already runs Milwaukee M18™ tools.

And with USB-C PD fast charging, it keeps up with modern electronics and more demanding devices, not just legacy tools.

Summary

The Milwaukee M18™ TOP-OFF™ 175W Power Supply proves that sometimes, the best tool isn’t the one swinging a hammer—but the one keeping your other tools alive. Whether you’re 30 stories up, deep in a crawlspace, or rolling a cart through a warehouse, this portable power supply makes sure your devices—and your crew—stay productive.

For a limited time, get the Milwaukee M18™ TOP-OFF™ 175W Power Supply for $20 off—upgrade your workflow with portable power that pays for itself in productivity.
