Overview

The Milwaukee 0960-20 is a battery powered specialty tool on Milwaukee's 12 volt platform, drawing an 18 watt motor and listed at 15 by 13 by 12 inches, which likely reflects the packaged kit rather than the handheld tool itself.

Milwaukee files this under its general specialty tool category rather than naming a specific function in the title, and the listed specs don't spell out exactly what job it performs. What is clear is that it runs on the M12 battery ecosystem and draws relatively little power at 18 watts, which points to a lower power, precision oriented tool rather than a heavy duty grinder or drill.
