Milwaukee Tool joins Alliance for America's Skilled Trades. October 1, 2026 Milwaukee Tool has announced it has joined the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades, a national effort bringing together companies committed to strengthening the skilled trades workforce and expanding pathways into rewarding careers. Milwaukee Tool joins the Alliance with a longstanding commitment to the people and organizations building the skilled trades workforce across the United States. For more than 100 years, the company has built its business around serving the professional trades, including investing in workforce development initiatives that support skilled trades education, training and career pathways. Based on investments made since 2010 and those planned through 2030, Milwaukee Tool expects its total investment in U.S. skilled trades workforce development to exceed $200 million. "Milwaukee Tool has built our business around the skilled trades, and we believe America grows when the trades grow," said Shane Moll, group president of Milwaukee Tool. "Joining the Alliance gives us another opportunity to build on the work we've been doing alongside the organizations that train and support the next generation of skilled tradespeople. We're proud to bring those relationships, our experience, and our continued investment to this effort." "When we launched the Alliance, our focus was to help people get the training and support they need to build great careers in the skilled trades," said Lisa Gevelber, founder of Grow with Google. "Milwaukee Tool has long walked the walk, supporting thousands of apprentices each year and investing deeply in local training centers across the country. Having them join this collective effort allows us to do even more for working people, including expanding access to training and opportunities they can be proud of." Today, Milwaukee Tool supports more than 16,000 apprentices annually who are actively enrolled in skilled trades programs, working alongside more than 1,300 training centers and 25 national union and non-union partners across the United States. That work is grounded in longstanding relationships with organizations throughout the skilled trades. "Developing the next generation of skilled professionals requires a sustained commitment from across our industry. Milwaukee Tool has demonstrated that commitment through its longstanding partnership with MCAA and its direct engagement with the mechanical trades. By listening to the people who perform this work every day and investing in education, training and workforce development, Milwaukee Tool is helping strengthen the skilled trades for the future," said Curtis Harbour, president, Mechanical Contractors Association of America.

Through the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades, Milwaukee Tool will work alongside companies and organizations focused on increasing awareness of skilled trades careers, expanding access to training, and helping strengthen the workforce needed to support America's infrastructure and economy. Milwaukee Tool's commitment to the skilled trades is part of the company's broader investment in the United States. Over the past decade, Milwaukee Tool has invested more than $2 billion in its U.S. operations and added more than 4,000 American jobs in the past five years. All Milwaukee Tool global innovation originates from the company's headquarters in Brookfield, Wisconsin, where the company leads the development of solutions for professional tradespeople around the world.

Milwaukee power-tool batteries are finally getting the charging port they should've had years ago. Published Sep 28, 2026, 6:31 AM EDT Jonathon Jachura is a mechanical engineer with over 12 years of HVAC industry experience who specializes in translating complex home systems into practical advice for everyday homeowners. His background spans technical sales and product management for major manufacturers, combined with hands-on experience as a two-time homeowner who has tackled everything from system installations to troubleshooting repairs. Jon focuses on helping readers make confident decisions about their homes through clear, actionable guidance that saves both time and money. Every cordless tool brand charges an unspoken fee: a charger that only works with its own batteries. I've paid that fee for years on the Ryobi side, which is why Ryobi merging its 18V and 40V charging into one unit caught my attention. Milwaukee pushed the idea further with its M18 TOP-OFF Charger & Power Supply. It's a half-pound adapter that snaps onto any M18 battery and adds a USB-C port that works in both directions. Feed it from the brick already charging your laptop, and the pack fills. Pull the brick, and the pack starts feeding your phone instead. Milwaukee's red bench charger can stay in the garage. One USB-C port replaces the M18 bench charger. The bigger port charges the pack or your laptop. The 2847-20 has two USB-C ports. The 100W port is the one that runs both ways. Hook a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger to it and the M18 pack fills; hook a laptop to it instead and the pack drains into the laptop. The 15W port beside it is output only, meant for headlamps and earbuds. Together they deliver 115W continuously, and both can work at once, so a pack can refill while your phone charges beside it. The housing measures 3.71 by 3.04 by 1.9 inches, and Milwaukee says it's up to 65% smaller than the chargers it bundles in tool kits. It fits every M18 battery. That matters because Milwaukee's earlier TOP-OFF, the 175W model with a 120V outlet, can only drain a pack. It can't put a single watt back in. The new model drops the outlet and adds a charging circuit in its place. Your wall brick decides how fast the battery charges. The included 65W adapter is the slow lane. Inside the box sit a 65W wall adapter and a 3-foot cable good for 100W. That adapter needs 42 minutes on a 2.0Ah pack. An XC5.0 takes closer to 105, and a 12.0Ah crawls past 230. Bigger packs take proportionally longer, and Milwaukee's newer high-output packs complicate the math further, since its battery labels no longer track power the way they used to. Milwaukee sells a 120W two-port wall adapter for $79 that cuts M18 charge times by up to 30%. It pairs a 100W PD port with a 20W port, so one outlet covers the battery and a phone. You don't have to buy Milwaukee's brick, though. Any USB-C PD adapter that holds 100W continuously will charge at full speed. A small turtle icon on the TOP-OFF lights up when your adapter can't keep pace or starts throttling from heat. The 96W adapter that came with my 16-inch MacBook Pro sits just under that line, so it would work, only a bit slower. Every M18 battery doubles as a USB-C power bank. Phones, headlamps, and laptops run off the same pack. Reverse the direction and the TOP-OFF turns a tool battery into a portable charger. By Milwaukee's math, one XC5.0 refills a phone five times over, and the 100W port has the muscle to run a laptop rather than merely trickle-charge one. Everything I carry, my iPhone 16 Pro Max included, already charges over USB-C, so one cable would handle all of it. This is also why tool batteries belong in a power outage kit. Most people on a battery platform have a few charged packs sitting on a shelf and nothing to plug into them. Drop this adapter in the glove box beside them and the packs go from shelf clutter to a working power bank. Should the outage stretch past a day, a USB-C PD car charger or a folding solar panel will refill them, though not quickly. Ryobi and DeWalt owners still have to settle for less. Ryobi's version is bulkier and slower on output. Ryobi's answer exists, but it's the 18V ONE+ 150W Power Source (RYi150), and you have to buy the whole box to get USB-C charging. About $80 bare gets you a 120V outlet, two USB-A ports, and an LED task light along with it. It's a bulkier box, and Ryobi rates its fast-charging USB ports at up to 30W, well below what a laptop wants. Ryobi's USB Lithium line puts the USB-C port on the battery itself, but those are 4V packs for rotary tools and screwdrivers, not saws. DeWalt offers its own USB-C PD charging kit for 20V MAX packs. Milwaukee's TOP-OFF has flaws too. Milwaukee skipped the belt clip, the rafter hook, and even a lanyard hole, so expect it to wander around the bottom of your bag. And if your work calls for a 120V outlet, the older 175W TOP-OFF still has a place in the truck. M18 18V lithium-ion TOP-OFF Charger. * Voltage - 18 * Power Source - 100 W Charger A $119 puck makes the red charger optional. USB-C should have reached cordless tools years ago. Phones, laptops, and headphones all standardized on it, while battery platforms kept their chargers proprietary as part of the broader push to lock you into one brand's packs. The TOP-OFF doesn't end that lock-in, since your M18 packs still only fit Milwaukee tools. It does take the charger out of the equation. If you already own M18 batteries and a decent USB-C brick, $99 buys a charger, a power bank, and one less cord in the truck. I'd love to see Ryobi answer with a ONE+ version this small.
