Milwaukee Tool M18 FUEL QUIK LOK Accessories

Purchase here: shrsl.com/1lgwk
Milwaukee recently came out with a new Milwaukee M18 FUEL Attachment System w/ QUIK-LOK that delivers multiple outdoor power equipment tools in one system.
This system is powered by their M18 batteries, and a “Power Head” that’s compatible for a number of different attachments, including:
• String trimmer
• Edger
• Pole saw
• Hedge trimmer
This system gives any you the versatility to add tools to complete a range of landscape applications without having to invest in multiple dedicated tools.
This results in a lower cost of ownership. While the QUIK-LOK system is clearly designed for landscaping pros, it can benefit anyone already using the M18 battery platform.
Additionally, this system should appeal to others as well, such as:
• Newer homeowners looking to reduce initial dedicated tool costs
• Pros working in environments that have time restrictions on noise
• Pros working in environments that require restrictions on gas fumes emissions. [e.g. hospital environments, or near ventilation systems.]
• Anyone wanting to avoid the “Fuel, Prime, Pull, Start” process of using a gas powered tool.
The QUIK-LOK Attachment System
Users can enter the QUIK-LOK system through the M18 FUEL String Trimmer Kit or M18 FUEL Pole Saw Kit, then add additional attachments as needed.
Power Head
The QUIK-LOK is anchored by the power head, which ships with a 9.0 Ah battery.
The first thing you will notice when using any attachment on the power head is that the throttle and tool react instantly - there is no lag-time or ramp-up period.
The power head accepts all M18 batteries, and according to Milwaukee, the only accessory designed to be used with the “low speed” setting is the string trimmer.
The power head attaches to the accessory attachments via a positive-locking mechanism. Once connected, the accessory operates off the power head’s motor via connected drive shafts.
The power head trigger offers variable speeds.

As these batteries get bigger and much more expensive, it’s really nice to see tool companies trying hard to keep you in their brand by making their lines so big.

[@irvingj.smacklebits7585]

I'll confirm what Rob said, I have these tools and they work great! Pricey, yes, but worth it. I was traumatized as a child because my father always bought cheap tools and made me use them so I learned the hard way the true cost of cheap tools.

[@ex8280]

Nah, it's just to teach you what to get him for the holidays.

[@BrenticusMaximus1]

I've been waiting for someone competent to review this system, Great job Rob!!! One thing to note, the pole saw kit includes the extension while the string trimmer kit does not. 🙂👍

[@ConcordCarpenter]

BrenticusMaximus1 Thanks for the compliment brother yes you are correct check out Ohio power tools at great prices

[@patrickmcclintick9552]

I bought this kit last month. I have about 2 acres with a bunch of honeysuckle to get rid of, and a fence overgrown with blackberry. The pole saw and hedge trimmer are making quick work of it. The hedge trimmer in particular is a beast. The only issue I've run into so far is the one mentioned in the video: the attachments don't always want to lock and you need to either wiggle them or blip the motor to get them to alight properly.

[@TheFlatlander440]

That's the kit I'm looking to purchase. I can purchase the pole saw with battery and charger and get the hedge trimmer for free AND free shipping. Can't beat that deal for $400 Benjamin's. I don't need the string trimmer since my 4 year old gas string trimmer works just fine. I'm sold.

[@patrickmcclintick9552]

William Logan that $399 pole saw kit also includes the extension (pole saw attachment by itself doesn’t). So one less thing to get later.

[@TheFlatlander440]

@@patrickmcclintick9552 Yep. I just pulled the trigger on it but for some reason they wouldn't give me free shipping to Vermont. No worries, it was only $30 more for shipping. I have 20 acres of prop to maintain so this kit should work great. Cheers!

[@philipdove1705]

How does the hedge trimmer work on small 1/2" saplings. I got hundreds of them and a lit of m18 batteries

[@highjix]

What kind of monster are you to cut down honeysuckle and blackberry bushes? Those where a staple of my childhood! Shame on you!!! ;)

[@dennismitchell4836]

I got this with just the string trimmer attachment and I honestly couldn't believe the power of the thing. Way more powerful than my gas one!

[@markcraig3702]

I just got my trimmer with the hedge trimmer attachment today. I cant wait to get started .

The line feeding on the trimmer looks nice... I'm a gardener and every time hated the overcomplicated hussle with this and you waste alot of time... I will give it a try 👍🏼

[@ftlaud911]

I bought the older string trimmer model and use it almost weekly. Does a great job. Need an edger so now will have to buy this model and have two trimmers. Wish I waited. Could use the trimmer as well. There goes another $300+

[@joelwilson97]

I just got the string trimmer and so far very impressed with it! I used to do a lot of string trimming around my parents farm and I'd say this thing has as much power as any of the gas ones I've used and you don't have take 15 minutes to get it to run right. I had the same issue with the qiuk Lok aligning but it's pretty minor. Overall quite happy with it.

[@bobbg9041]

Get the edger. First use it cut nice clean lines my driveway has never had. I mean it gutted the grow over weeds and grass. Beats trying to do it with manul tools. You wont regret it.

[@WilliamErvin]

The string trimmer has easily the best head I’ve ever used

[@kimchee94112]

Got the pole saw and blower combo. It doesn't come with the pole extension or the strap, may need to buy later. Use the pole saw first time yesterday and got a bunch of work done, much better then the manual pole saws in every way except it feels freaking heavy after a while. With the extension its even more so. Don't think it was mentioned, I had trouble separating the two sections. It was held in so tight when finally got loose, a little dielectric grease did the trick. Yes I did loosened the knob first. Would not go back to 2 cycle tools ever again. For yard work settled on Milwaukee and Kobalt 80V. Waiting for them to come out with a post-hole digger.

[@Nifares1971]

You’re right!! We just need a Mower, that’s the reason I’m still keeping the one I have, once they come out with one, my gas mower goes bye bye.

[@BowensBlvd]

I was a dummy who attempted to restring the string trimmer by taking the head out and doing it by hand. Then I looked up their video and felt real good about the purchase about how easy it is to restring

[@aaronrepper7649]

I have the Milwaukee quick Lock string trimmer with edger attachment, they both work awesome, would like to see a possible tiller attachment. And please Milwaukee make a lawn mower, I don't want to get another brand lawn mower if I don't have to, because I'm invested in Milwaukee batteries.

[@5wisher5weet]

Aaron Repper agreed, would be nice. Imagine if they had a cyclinder mower :)

[@wildgoose6596]

I use my hedge trimmer for all kinds of brush cleanup. I also use it for spring cleanup. I get right down to the ground on all the dead growth and then it just blows or rakes away. Super easy and super fast. I'm looking at that articulating head on the hedge trimmer and thinking I could use it for trimming weeds in the lake. It probably won't last all that long, but the dedicated weed trimmer I have now (which I now have to spend more time repairing than trimming) was several times the cost of just having to buy a new accessory head. Hmmm.

[@cajunice3588]

[@protectionman]

The articulating hedge trimmer is heavy, says it is only 5+ pounds, but at the end of the end of the extension it feels like 50 and the strap does not get small enough to fit me to hold the trimmer at the right level.

[@philipdove1705]

I put a circular 8" blade and adapter on my trimmer head to cut brush works great I cut brush around 2" with it

[@danieljulian4426]

there are some good deals right now on these kits/accessories. basically, but the kit (weedeater or chainsaw) and get a free attachment!

Maybe if they did this in Australia I’d add the edger

[@haydengregory8275]

TOOL NUT BABY glad i cancelled my preorder and waited on this deal!!

[@bobbg9041]

I got my pole saw. But it did not come with the extension or the harness. I've got the saw. Trimmer. And edger. I've been cutting down smaller trees with the saw as well as wild bushes. I need to get the harness. But now milwalkie has added a power broom both nylon and a rubber version as well as a brush cutting head with a metal blade. Ive yet to see these in big box stores but Tool Nut has them its an online tool company. I think the broom is 23" wide. Think what you can do with this sweep the drive sweep the basment or shop, or even on a construction job clean up a job seight with it. Im wating for a cultivator attachment you just know its comming. Or even a power brush to wash your driveway with hose attachment you can also use on the wood deck. There is a good use for the broom as a scrub brush cleaning mold off a wood deck. Or hey how about a pole 6" orbital sander or even wall sanding attachment for painting with vacume hookup. No they havnt reached the max of add on tools they could make for the power head. Car buffer ? Seriously its a power head just add attachments. The broom looked kinda pricy but think about what you can use it for.

[@plkthebest]

I'm in the market for a pole saw and I'm interested in a battery powered string trimmer. Looks like a great fit. Is this something you still find yourself using, or would you reccomend another product?

[@me77you]

How many of the 54" extension poles can be used at one time? For example to get extra height when using the pole saw or hedge trimmer?

[@nelson1tom]

The string trimmer is ridiculously powerful. I tend to use it on low.

[@j9j44w7r]

I have the same question as Richard Gray. Do you know if this gets too wobbly if you add more than one extension with the pole saw

[@cbrduck7846]

I had just purchased the string trimmer before they announced the Quik Lok system. Grrr... What's the chances of them making an adapter kit?

[@dvxAznxvb]

Cbr Duck none, if you paid more than $175 for the kit you overpaid, still a good tool but you unfortunately have to pay more for individual tools now which take up space I only have a hatchback car and when you have garden tools that are 7 feet long, you get spoiled when you can split the length in half

[@chiptowle4913]

Can you remove the trimmer head off of the quik-lok attachment?

Get the 12.0 battery will run better and longer . We have the older trimmer and blower they really work good.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

John Bailey You’re right but it adds a little bit of weight, I had a great run time with a 9AH battery

[@johnbailey9682]

Yea the girls do 30 to 36 lawns every day so the 12.0 just adds to there run time. We pack the trailer with the batteries 9.0 and the 12.0 the 12.0 batteries seem to run a long time but they use a lot of them every day. And then they are back on the chargers ready for the next day of work.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

[@johnbailey9682]

A Concord Carpenter / ToolBoxBuzz i live with twins they wanted to get involved with the lawns so I let them take over pretty much. I do all the maintenance and go help them on monday and Friday. Each one of them do 30 to36 lawns a day . It took them time to get use to all the work but they do very well now. They are 35 im 76 we have been living together since they were 24 and it has worked out well.

[@nathanmitchell4196]

Just my opinion. I like ryobi everything in used from them has been at least decent, and the number of tools available on the one+ system is second only to the pro level brands. I would stay away from kolbalt. Lowe's seems to be replacing everything with craftsmen.

I switched from (mainly) Dewalt to Ryobi when Dewalt went to a ton of different battery platforms. Ryobi's One+ system has over 125 tools that use the same battery platform. Maybe Ryobi doesn't make the best tools, but they've been working fine for me and they can be an extreme bargain when you catch a good sale. I believe Ryobi invented the string loading mechanism that you like on the Milwaukee weed wacker.

Those tools all look suspiciously like the Ego system that I have. I know ego is 56 volt but I suspect the electric side has been reworked to covert to the M18. Not a bad thing especially as the ego batteries are eye watering you expensive. Good idea if I am right to use the best on the market as a base for your own but don’t try to kid us it’s all your own work Milwaukee. If it is you can expect a call from ego’s patent lawyers.
