Milwaukee string trimmer2/26/2023 When first used, you do need to add chain and bar lube to the reservoir. It’s fairly compact and quite lightweight, just under 11 lbs. The Milwaukee 16″ battery chainsaw is fun. The pole saw worked great to get those high branches, so much better than pulling out the ladder!!! I’ve been trying to prune it the last two years without over pruning and messing it up. Therefore the fruit is little and not the best. I have an unruly pear tree that I let grow without proper pruning over the years. First time using it, you do need to add chain and bar lubricant to the reservoir. The pole saw is perfect for those taller trees that need trimming. The hedge trimmer blade is 20″ long and can cut up to a 1″ branch diameter. The head of the hedge trimmer locks in 13 positions in a 270 deg rotation sweep. It was like switching from cutting hair with scissors to clippers, huge difference. I was able to trim my raspberries down in minutes without getting stuck in the thorns, yay! It also worked great on my variety of bushes. This was my first time using a power hedge trimmer, usually I use hand shears. Even with damp ground, the edger didn’t blink an eye and was a champ. The edger has an 8″ blade and a back wheel that supports the weight. On my other 40V system, this would have taken me 3 charges!!! I’m totally impressed. I was able edge my entire long driveway and sidewalk all on the same battery charge. Then secure it with the nut, super easy and quick. When installing a different attachment you just slide it onto the motor shaft engaging the drive (seen below in the middle), sometimes you just need to wiggle back and forth to make sure you’re lined up and engaged. There is a lever to push down and slide the attachment off the motor shaft. I’m on the shorter end being 5′ 5″, so sometimes string trimmers can be uncomfortable over time, but the strap supported the weight (12.3 lbs), reducing fatigue.Ĭhanging the Milwaukee motor between Quik-Lok attachments is easy. Out of all of the attachments, the string trimmer was the one that I really appreciated having the support strap. It works similar to my other weed eaters I’ve used, to have more string come out you tap on on the base. The string trimmer (weed eater) works great as expected. Milwaukee M18 Battery String Trimmer and Quik-Lok Attachments Reviewįirst tool up for testing is the M18 FUEL 18-Volt Brushless Cordless String Trimmer and 9.0 Ah Battery. That’s one area I’ll definitely be looking at for these tools. Then I don’t have to worry about maintenance of the gas/oil engines, pull strings, chokes, etc! The only drawback of battery tools is the run time of the battery and how long it takes to recharge if you don’t have a backup battery. I prefer to have battery operated yard tools. □ As part of the Home Depot Tool Prospective program, I get the chance to try out some of Milwaukee’s battery yard tools. Snow or not, it’s time to get the yard cleaned up for the new growth! I slacked in the Fall, so I have quite a bit to trim back. Spring has sprung in Utah, which means 50’s one day, snow the next day and back to 50’s. Click here to read my full disclosure policy. This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience.
