What is CPO?
I have some milwaukee 18v tools that are over 20 years old, still going strong, with several years on the books doing remodeling also. I have purchased new batteries over the years though. Glad to hear they are still the best.
I was poking around last week and saw they had a cordless wet/dry vac, I will probably pick one of those up. It would be pretty handy.

My vac was literally delivered today along with my 12ah battery. That battery is gigantic! Took forever to charge too so I ordered the rapid charger.

Good luck!, Although 95% of my cordless tools are Dewalt, I have that exact Milwauke 3/8 wrench. The only thing I don't like is that it's a little larger around than I would like, but it works well.

As long as you're ordering, pick up one of these for smaller jobs. Very small, light and compact and uses the same battery so you can order the 'tool only' for $75 or factory reconditioned for $55

And also get one of these, it's the best cordless screwdriver I've found. It's gyroscopic. Hold the trigger and rotate your hand to the right and the bit turns clockwise automatically, the more you rotate it and faster it spins. Rotate your hand to the left and it then turns counterclockwise. It's a game changer. I quickly only found the factory reconditioned version, but for $55 for the kit, it's the best $55 you can spend.

I have a MIlwaukee 3/8" and love it. 55lbs of torque is pretty impressive for a battery powered ratchet, does better than my air ratchet. But there are 2 models plus the long reach version. I have the 2557 model. Dont buy the basic model (2457), it just looks too fragile to me IMO

I have other ideas for rotating my hand.

Save your money and time returning it not worth a shit, I ended up buying a Vacumaid GV 50 pro Wall mounted with 50 ft hose. I can vacuum all my vehicles with out moving them. I did tape a remote on/off switch on the end of the hose just below where the attachments go on makes it much easier than walking back to the unit to shut it off.
