Powerful tool. I have a quarter acre lot with a lot of surfaces to edge, still had 3/4 battery life after finishing. Guess I need to get the blower next

1st I’m a pro lawn guy. I use echo weedeaters and although they are tough they are finiky- carburators, fuel and air filters, oil to gas ratios jeez Louise I have more important things to do. This Milwaukee trimmer has really simplified my operation. Battery life is decent but I always have another on the charger in my truck. It’s powerful and make short work of edging and weed whacking. I really like that the drive motor is not on the head of the trimmer and that once I pull the trigger there is no lag in operation. They are a bit pricey but I plan on introducing another one into my business this coming season. You guys and gals who do your own lawn- buy it,to the pros out there you can’t go wrong- buy an additional battery.

Wanted to try an electric model instead of our usual gas one. So far I like the ease of starting it, but have an extra battery so that we can continue using it longer than 1 hr. ( for each battery,). I haven’t tried putting the string in so that is another question. It is very easy to use and does a great job. So we will see…..

Had to purchase separate shoulder strap – not a big deal but should have been included for the price

I have had this for three weeks and used it twice mostly to trim Asiatic Jasmine ground cover, a tough vegetation. The trimmer handles this duty with ease as it quite powerful but quiet at the same time. It is easy to use, balanced well (not light, though) especially good with the optional shoulder strap. The battery did not need a charge after both uses (approx 30 minutes each) but I charged it anyway in about 30 or 40 minutes. Another plus is a convenient mounting hole on the back to receive a mounting screw. I will likely purchase the attaching hedge trimmer later. I recommend the M18 trimmer.

So far so good …. the 8ah battery last abouth 1 hour on normal use…and about 40 minutes in very hot day… power better than expected

Instant torque means tons of power. It chewed through tall grass/weeds with no issue. The battery lasted me 30 minutes.

It’s insane how well this trimmer works. With the included 8 AH battery in the kit I get all the trimming done around my 2 acre property. I use it on both high or low speed as I want. It also lasts a long time using the batteries from my tools.

Works great, quick change of heads and do all of my yard work with one tool.

It took two months to get
Horacio Kerluke (verified owner) –
The kit says it comes with a rapid charger, I got a standard charger. I like the string trimmer but the rapid charger is misleading. Will HD swap chargers? Considering returning, the standard charger takes a long time charging an 8 amp battery.

Works as advertised. No complaints.
