Milwaukee 2956-20 M18 Cordless Bluetooth Jobsite Radio and Charger – Tool Only

The Milwaukee 2956-20 M18 Bluetooth Jobsite Radio and Charger is designed to fill larger work areas with clear, powerful audio while also keeping M18 batteries and personal devices charged. Featuring (2) 4.48″ woofers and (2) 1.21″ high-frequency tweeters, this Bluetooth jobsite radio delivers a wide, dynamic sound profile that carries across open spaces, shops, and sites with multiple work zones.

Why Customers Prefer the Milwaukee M18 Cordless Bluetooth Jobsite Radio and Charger

Users choose the Milwaukee 2956-20 when they want a single M18 jobsite radio and charger that can handle larger, noisier spaces while still supporting the battery system they rely on every day. The combination of dual 4.48″ woofers, high-frequency tweeters, and Bluetooth 5.3 makes this Bluetooth jobsite radio suitable for big framing projects, shops, and warehouses where ordinary radios struggle to fill the area.

For trades already invested in the PACKOUT system, this PACKOUT radio and charger locks into existing stacks, making it easy to transport from truck to job and back again. Technicians and maintenance teams value the integrated M18 battery charging and USB-C output, reducing the need for separate chargers on the bench or in the trailer. With IP65 dust and water resistance, impact-resistant construction, and practical runtime on an M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 battery, the 2956-20 serves as a central audio and charging hub that fits how crews actually work.
