battery-platform/lifecycle ownership
Did the tool become obsolete when the model was discontinued?
Milwaukee states compatibility across the M18 system and with all M18 batteries. Tool state: No longer available. Replacement: 2904-20. Documentation/support: Manuals, parts lists and service resources remain on Milwaukee's exact product page.
Evidence confidence: 99% · checked 2026-08-28LessBother signal
- Caution: legacy tool. The platform may still be healthy, but the exact tool is no longer current. Parts, manuals, batteries and the successor matter more than shelf availability alone.
This signal applies only to the verified ownership question above. It is deliberately narrower than a full verdict.
Why this matters
- A discontinued tool can still be a sensible buy if batteries, manuals, parts and a clear successor remain available. This evidence separates the tool’s current sales status from the health of the platform around it.
What would make us change this answer?
- We would change this answer if the tool returns to sale, is discontinued, gains a new successor, or loses documented parts/manual/battery support.
Research coverage
Confirmed on this exact product: battery-platform/lifecycle ownership.
LessBother has not yet published an exact-product finding here on:
- parts availability and repair cost
- battery pricing/history
Those are research gaps, not negative findings. We leave them blank until there is evidence.
What this page does not claim
LessBother has evidence for the question above. That is not the same as declaring this product the best or worst overall. We would rather give you a narrow answer we can prove than pad the page with generic review filler.
What changed over time
These are dated changes to the product, service or support around it. They stay separate from LessBother's own revision trail.
- Milwaukee M18 Hammer Drill 2804: 2804 no longer available; replaced by 2904-20. Discontinuation is recorded separately from battery-platform usefulness.
