Grass trimmer is awesome! Super easy to assemble and quieter than most. Also, I used it for more than 3 hours and it wouldn’t overheat and it kept going like if I had just turn it on. Amazing! I would recommend it!

I am really pleased with trimmer. It does go through a battery pretty quickly but it cuts fine in turtle mode and I can usually do the job on one battery.

Excellent, I really like this tool, I have a small yard so it pretty much does everything needed. The tools so powerful it eats through my M18 Fuel batteries fairly quickly but all the reason to get a bigger 9.0 that I’ve been wanting.

Excellent

This is an awesome trimmer! It replaces a Ryobi cordless unit which I now see was a total waste of money. I switched over to Milwaukee cordless tools a few years ago and it is awesome that alll of the tools run on the same battery packs. I must have a dozen batteries so I never run out of juice. I look forward to adding a couple of the other accessories that are available for this unit.

Easy assembly. Works well. I need to buy new batteries. My newest one has good use time. The real test will be can I reload the string.

Works great! Lots of power. I just wish I had gotten the battery kit instead. I have older m18 batteries and it drains them pretty quick.

Like the ease of operation and not having to pull on a start cord.

These tool systems attracted me because I can change out the business end of the tool but only have the one motor and control unit to be concerned with. That saves storage space. In use the string trimmer is easy to load and a quick knock on the ground advances the string when necessary. The trimmer line is tough enough not to break too easily and it does a great job of cutting through grass, weeds and some woody material. Control at the trigger is very good. The edger is amazing and it cleans up the edges of the lawns very well. The 8.0 Ah battery still had half its power in reserve after string trimming and edging for about 50 minutes and walking about a half mile.

Easy to assemble, light weight, and love the fact of 2 speed modes. More power than expected also. My opinion Milwaukees rival Dewalt don’t stand a chance .
Tyson Leffler (verified owner) –
Great trimmer. If its hot out and your running at full speed, batteries tend to over temp.
Milan Bartoletti (verified owner) –

Works great, a bit heavier than I expected. Also position where “string” comes out is higher than most causing you to tip at a higher angle. Other than that it’s perfect. Glad I bought it.
