The new M12 cordless pin nailer will be available with bare tool (2540-20) and kit (2540-21) options.
Milwaukee says their new M12 cordless pin nailer is the most compact in the industry, yet powerful enough to drive pins into hard or soft woods and while still leaving clean holes.
There’s no compressor hose, no gas cartridges.
The new Milwaukee cordless pin nailer is aimed at professional carpenters and remodelers, but also looks to be compact enough for other air nailer users to consider converting over.

Depending on whether the tool is in forward or reverse modes, the 4th Mode provides Auto Shut-Off and Bolt Removal modes.
Auto Shut-Off mode in the forward direction applies no more than 20 ft-lbs of torque, to prevent over-tightening of fasteners.
Bolt Removal mode in the reverse direction delivers full output torque and then decreases the RPM speed once the bolt is loosened, to help prevent uncontrolled fastener drops.

Milwaukee Tool says that:
These mid-torque impact wrenches are equipped with a POWERSTATE™ Brushless motor that generates the torque and speed needed to perform many of the same tasks, such as removing large bolts or lug nuts.

We discuss the new Milwaukee cordless vacuums here.

Milwaukee M12 Fuel Wet/Dry Vacuum
This new M12 Fuel compact cordless wet/dry vacuum is said to be the most powerful 12V-class vacuum, and can even best many competing 18V and corded vacs.
One of the best features, in my opinion, is the high/low power switch. You get a lot of suction power thanks to the brushless motor, but can dial things down if necessary, for lower noise and longer runtime.
