Bottom line
Pipeline 2026 is Milwaukee's rollout of its newest products, and the headline items are the ROLL-ON 7200W power supply, redesigned M18 FUEL SDS Max hammers, an MX FUEL 27 lb demolition hammer, two rear handle saws, the STRIKER hammer chisel, a four bay simultaneous charger, and PACKOUT XL crates.
Milwaukee runs Pipeline as the home for its newest products, upcoming releases, and the innovations it's aiming at the jobsite, and the company's own event materials date the 2026 edition August 12 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The 2026 group is broad: battery power that stands in for a generator, a reworked SDS Max line, two rear handle saws, a cordless hammer chisel, faster charging, and storage sized for bulky material. Most of it sits on our shelves now, and the rest is open for backorder. If you're catching up, last year's Milwaukee Pipeline 2025 New Tools Guide still covers those releases, and our running list of Milwaukee's latest releases in 2026 tracks what keeps landing.
The Pipeline 2026 lineup at a glance
Here's the whole 2026 lineup in one place, with what each tool does and who buys it. Price bands cover the configuration named in the row, so a bare tool and its kit land in different spots.

ROLL-ON 7200W Power Supply: generator output, no exhaust
The 3301R is the biggest swing in the group. It puts out 7200W of starting power and 3600W of running power from a 6.0kWh REDLITHIUM battery built into the frame, so a crew can run tools inside a finished building with no exhaust and no fuel can. Milwaukee rates that pack at over 2.4X more runtime and gives the unit an IP54 rating for indoor and temporary outdoor use. Power comes out of two 20A GFCI duplex outlets with circuit breakers, plus one USB-C port and one USB-A port.
Pure sine wave output suits sensitive electronics, and pass-through power lets the unit charge and discharge at once. A full charge takes 8 hours, and it reaches 25% in under 100 minutes, so an overnight plug-in covers the next day. The 9.5 in all-terrain wheels are built for gravel, dirt, and mud, and the frame connects to PACKOUT components. ONE-KEY handles tracking, tool management, and the adjustable charging rate, and Milwaukee backs the unit with a 3 year limited warranty. It ships from stock.
See DetailsM18 FUEL SDS Max rotary hammers: 2917 vs 2918
Two sizes, one decision. The 2917-20 is the 1-9/16 in hammer at 6 ft-lb of impact energy, 488 RPM and 3,300 BPM, and it weighs 14 lb bare. The 2918-20 steps up to 1-3/4 in and 11 ft-lb at 347 RPM and 2,625 BPM, at 17 lb bare. Anchor drilling all day favors the lighter tool, and breaking or heavy chipping favors the bigger one. Both carry AUTOSTOP enhanced kickback control against over-rotation, the AVS anti-vibration system, VACLINK wireless dust control, and ONE-KEY.
Milwaukee rates the 2917 at over 24 holes of 7/8 in by 6 in per charge on an M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 pack, which is the pack both hammers want. The HD kits pair the tool with two FORGE HD12.0 batteries and a rapid charger. Right now the 2917-20 bare tool and the 2918-22HD kit are available for backorder, while the 2918-20 and the 2917-22HD kit ship from stock. Pack choice drives the whole platform, and our Milwaukee M18 battery comparison lays out the options.

MX FUEL 27 lb SDS MAX Demolition Hammer (MXF365)
When the work turns from drilling to breaking, the MXF365 takes over. Milwaukee rates it at 26.1 Joules of impact energy, stated as 19.3 ft-lbs, in a 27 lb class body running on MX FUEL. Paired with an MX FUEL REDLITHIUM FORGE XC8.0 pack it chips up to 1.5 tons per charge across up to 33 minutes of continuous trigger time, about a trench 63 ft long by 4 in deep. Push-button start, two speed modes, AVS, VACLINK, and a top handle for grip positions round out the tool, and it takes SDS MAX accessories including a side load ground rod driver.
MXF365-0 is the bare tool and ships from stock with a side handle and a grease tube. The gas-free equipment picture is bigger than one hammer, and the MX FUEL guide covers the rest of that system.
Rear handle saws: 7-1/4 in 2931 and 10-1/4 in 3026
Two rear handle saws landed for 2026, and they answer different questions. The 2931 is the 7-1/4 in framing saw: 2-5/8 in of cut depth at 90 degrees, 2 in at 45 degrees, 6,000 RPM under load, and up to 700 cuts per charge on a FORGE HD12.0 pack. Milwaukee says it runs 1.5 lb lighter than the previous generation, at 8.3 lb bare and 11.6 lb with that pack. The 3026 is the 10-1/4 in saw, cutting 3-13/16 in deep at 90 degrees, which clears 4x stock in a single pass, and it delivers up to 250 cuts per charge in 4x4.
Both saws carry AUTOSTOP kickback protection, in different flavors. On the 7-1/4 in model Milwaukee describes machine-learning detection that catches a bind-up and stops the blade before it leaves the material. On the 10-1/4 in model AUTOSTOP shuts power off during a severe kickback event, and that saw carries the 5 year limited power tool warranty. The 2931-21HD kit ships from stock, and the 3026-21HD kit is available for backorder.

M18 FUEL STRIKER Hammer Chisel: air hammer force, no compressor
The 3771-20 is a cordless hammer chisel aimed at work that used to need an air hose. It delivers 7 Joules of striking force, which Milwaukee equates to leading long-barrel pneumatic tools running at 145 PSI. Three modes cover 0 to 2500 BPM, 0 to 3000 BPM, and a ramp-up to 3000 BPM, so you can start light and then lean on it. The .401 in round shank twist chuck accepts any .401 in round shank bit, and a patented battery isolation system cuts vibration at the pack. Bare tool weight is 7.2 lb, with a 3 year warranty.
Suspension teardowns and ball joint removal are the stated targets, and the tool ships with a hammer and flat chisel bit. It's available for backorder now, with a preorder date of October 1, 2026.
Four Bay Super Charger: four packs at the same time
Sequential chargers make a crew wait. The 48-59-1818 runs four bays at once, two of them M18 and two of them M18/M12 hybrid. Four M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0 packs reach 100% in 90 minutes, and a single FORGE XC8.0 or HD12.0 pack hits 80% in 35 minutes. COOL-CYCLE active cooling and CHARGE ADAPT charge distribution hold that pace, and the housing connects to PACKOUT. Milwaukee lists a 5 year limited warranty, and the charger ships from stock.
M12 FUEL extended reach ratchets: 1/2 in and 3/8 in
Extended reach means a longer body for getting past brackets and manifolds without busting knuckles. The 3055-20 is the 1/2 in drive at up to 80 ft-lbs and 300 RPM. The 3059-20 is the 3/8 in at up to 70 ft-lbs and 400 RPM. Both run a brushless outer rotor motor in a metal reinforced housing, ship with a modular paddle cap, and carry a 5 year tool warranty. Milwaukee also lists a 1/4 in extended reach model at up to 45 ft-lbs and 550 RPM.
All three listings are available for backorder. The 3059-21 kit adds an M12 High Output 2.5Ah battery, an M12 charger, and a modular button cap.
PACKOUT XL Crates: open-top storage for bulky material
The 48-22-8439 XL Crate is an open-top box at 19 by 15.88 by 15.69 in with a 75 lb capacity, and it stacks or hangs like the rest of PACKOUT. A wide front opening keeps the contents reachable when something sits on top. The 48-22-8039 divider splits the crate in half and adds toolbox attachment-ready mounting for stacking compact PACKOUT boxes above it. The 48-22-8043 Wire Pulling XL Crate ships with an insert and pulls or stores up to 6 spools of 500 ft 12-gauge THHN. The 48-22-8044 inserts sell as a 2-pack and fit 1/2 in EMT conduit.

Key Takeaways
- ROLL-ON 3301R is the headline piece: 7200W starting, 3600W running, a 6.0kWh battery built in, IP54, and no exhaust to plan around.
- SDS Max splits into two tools. The 2917-20 at 6 ft-lb suits anchor drilling, and the 2918-20 at 11 ft-lb suits heavy chipping.
- MXF365 brings 26.1 Joules and up to 1.5 tons of chipping per MX FUEL FORGE XC8.0 charge to trench and slab work.
- The rear handle saws cover both ends: up to 700 cuts per charge on the 7-1/4 in, and 4x stock in one pass on the 10-1/4 in.
- STRIKER 3771-20 puts 7 Joules of pneumatic-class striking force on an M18 pack, with a .401 in round shank.
- 48-59-1818 charges four packs at once, taking four FORGE HD12.0 batteries to 100% in 90 minutes.
- M12 FUEL extended reach ratchets reach up to 80 ft-lbs at 1/2 in drive and up to 70 ft-lbs at 3/8 in.
- PACKOUT XL crates add 75 lb of open-top capacity, with a wire-pulling version built for electricians.
What is Milwaukee Pipeline?
Pipeline is where Milwaukee shows its newest products, upcoming releases, and the innovations it's building for the jobsite. Each edition brings a batch of new models across the M12, M18, MX FUEL, and PACKOUT systems. The 2026 group runs from a 7200W battery power supply down to an open-top storage crate under $70.
When and where is the Milwaukee Pipeline 2026 event?
Milwaukee's own published materials date the 2026 Pipeline event August 12 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The product side of Pipeline runs year round: the lineup on this page is already listed on our shelves, in stock or open for backorder.
Which Pipeline 2026 tools can I order right now?
Several ship from stock: the 2918-20 SDS Max hammer, the 2917-22HD kit, the MXF365-0 demolition hammer, the 2931-21HD rear handle saw kit, the 48-59-1818 charger, and the ROLL-ON 3301R. The rest show as available for backorder, including the 2917-20, the 2918-22HD kit, the 3026-21HD saw kit, the STRIKER 3771-20, the extended reach ratchets, and every PACKOUT XL crate piece.
Do the new SDS Max hammers work with my existing M18 batteries?
Yes. Both the 2917-20 and the 2918-20 run on M18 packs. Milwaukee's per-charge figures assume the M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE HD12.0, and the HD kits ship with two of those plus a rapid charger. Smaller M18 packs still fit, so an existing fleet works from day one.
Kit or bare tool?
Buy the kit if you don't already own FORGE HD12.0 packs, because the HD kits include two of them and a rapid charger. Buy bare if your crew already runs FORGE packs and a charger that keeps up. For the SDS Max hammers the kit carries the 22HD suffix, and the rear handle saw kits use 21HD.
How long does the ROLL-ON take to charge?
Milwaukee lists 8 hours to 100% and under 100 minutes to 25%. Pass-through power means the unit charges and discharges at the same time, so plugging into shore power during the day keeps the reserve up. The 6.0kWh battery is built into the unit rather than removable, and the whole thing rolls on 9.5 in all-terrain wheels.
Is the Four Bay Super Charger really simultaneous?
Yes. All four bays charge at once instead of cycling one pack at a time. Two bays are M18 only and two are M18/M12 hybrid. Four FORGE HD12.0 packs reach 100% in 90 minutes, and one FORGE XC8.0 or HD12.0 pack hits 80% in 35 minutes. COOL-CYCLE active cooling handles the heat that comes with that rate.
What bits fit the STRIKER hammer chisel?
Any .401 in round shank bit. The twist chuck locks automatically and releases fast, so swapping a flat chisel for a punch takes seconds. The tool ships with a hammer and flat chisel bit. Three modes let you pick 0 to 2500 BPM, 0 to 3000 BPM, or a ramp-up to 3000 BPM for starting a cut without walking the bit.
What warranty comes with these tools?
It varies by category. The SDS Max hammers and the 10-1/4 in rear handle saw carry Milwaukee's 5 year limited power tool warranty, and the extended reach ratchets list 5 years on the tool. The STRIKER carries 3 years, the ROLL-ON 3 years, and the MX FUEL demolition hammer 2 years. PACKOUT XL crates carry a limited lifetime warranty.
What can the PACKOUT Wire Pulling XL Crate hold?
Up to 6 spools of 500 ft 12-gauge THHN, using inserts sized for 1/2 in EMT conduit. Wire and conduit aren't included. The crate ships with an insert, and the 48-22-8044 2-pack adds more. The crate itself measures 19 by 15.88 by 15.69 in with a 75 lb capacity, same as the standard XL Crate.
