Milwaukee 2938-21 M18 18 Volt Brushless Refrigerant Recovery Machine Kit (1) 12AH

The Milwaukee 2938-21 M18™ Brushless Refrigerant Recovery Machine is built to give HVAC and refrigeration technicians a fully cordless solution for refrigerant recovery without sacrificing performance or compliance. Powered by the M18™ battery platform, this unit eliminates extension cords and the need to search for available outlets, allowing faster setup on rooftops, mechanical rooms, and service calls where power access is limited. The brushless motor and twin-cylinder pump design deliver consistent recovery rates while maintaining reliable operation across a wide range of jobsite conditions.

This refrigerant recovery machine is A2L compatible and equipped with a battery door interlock for added safety when working with mildly flammable refrigerants. An adjustable low-pressure shutoff can be set at 0 PSIG, -10 inHg, or -20 inHg to improve productivity and reduce manual monitoring during recovery. The high-pressure shutoff adds an extra layer of protection during operation. A daylight-readable LCD screen provides clear visibility of system status and settings, helping technicians make adjustments quickly and confidently. The kit includes one M18™ REDLITHIUM™ FORGE™ HD12.0 battery, capable of recovering up to 10 pounds of refrigerant per charge, making it suitable for residential and light commercial service work.
