1. SAWZALL demolition blade assortment
Practical pick: Milwaukee 49-22-1129 12-piece demolition SAWZALL blade set. It combines wood, metal, and general-purpose demolition blades in one case, making it a sensible refill for a SAWZALL or HACKZALL owner who encounters mixed materials.
Choose the blade by material and thickness—not by whichever one is already installed. Coarser wood blades cut quickly but are wrong for thin metal; higher tooth counts are better suited to metal. Confirm blade length provides enough travel beyond the workpiece throughout the stroke.

2. SHOCKWAVE impact-duty driver bits
Practical pick: Milwaukee 48-32-4006 40-piece SHOCKWAVE drill and drive set. A mixed set is useful for impact-driver owners who need common Phillips, square, Torx, nut-driving, and drilling options in a compact case.
Large piece counts can be misleading when they include duplicates. Look at the actual sizes you use, the number of commonly worn bits, and whether the set includes the holders or nut drivers your work requires. Impact-rated driving bits are not a substitute for the correct drill bit in metal, masonry, tile, or larger wood-boring work.

3. M18 XC5.0 battery two-pack
Practical pick: Milwaukee 48-11-1852 M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 two-pack. Two matching packs give an M18 owner one battery to use while another charges, and the 5.0Ah format balances capacity with less bulk than the largest high-output packs.
Battery value depends on the tool. Compact tools may feel better with a smaller pack, while high-demand saws and grinders can benefit from newer high-output battery families. Confirm the listing is genuine Milwaukee product, compare warranty eligibility, and be cautious of prices that are dramatically below normal authorized-retailer pricing.

4. Wet/dry vacuum replacement filter
Practical pick: Milwaukee 49-90-1900 HEPA wet/dry vacuum filter. Milwaukee lists it for the M18 0880-20, M12 FUEL 0960-20, and M18 FUEL PACKOUT 0970-20 wet/dry vacuums, making it a direct companion to the 0880-20 vacuum already covered on this site.
Compatibility matters more than appearance. Confirm the vacuum model before ordering, follow the manual for wet pickup, and do not assume a clean-looking filter is still flowing well. A loaded or damaged filter reduces suction and can allow dust to bypass the intended collection system.

5. 4½-inch metal grinding and cut-off wheels
Practical pick: buy wheels by job rather than treating every 4½-inch disc as interchangeable. A Type 27 grinding wheel or flap disc is appropriate for material removal and weld cleanup; a thin Type 1 cut-off wheel is intended for cutting with the correct guard. Combination cut-and-grind wheels must specifically allow both operations.
Before mounting any wheel, confirm diameter, arbor size, maximum RPM, material rating, expiration or condition, and required guard. Never side-load a thin cut-off wheel, use a damaged wheel, or run an accessory below the grinder’s rated speed. The Milwaukee 2880-20 accepts 4½- and 5-inch accessories, but the guard and wheel must match the operation.

How to buy these accessories without wasting money
- Start with compatibility: tool model, arbor or shank, voltage platform, size, and speed rating.
- Match the work: material, thickness, finish quality, run time, and dust-control requirements.
- Compare the actual count: piece count is less important than the sizes and types you repeatedly use.
- Inspect consumables: damaged blades, cracked wheels, or torn filters should not be put back into service.
- Verify the seller: listing photos do not override the written model number, package contents, condition, or warranty terms.
