Will it make the Cut? Milwaukee QUIK LOK Brush Cutter Attachment

This Milwaukee QUIK LOK Brush Cutter attachment tackles most of the overgrown jobs your string trimmer can't. The 9-inch 4-prong blade churns up to 6,800 RPM when the M18 FUEL Power Head is on High. It only takes a few seconds to attach the Milwaukee Brush Cutter head to the Brushless motor power head. You get two speeds, Low and High, and the lanyard makes carrying the weight very easy. You can get the brush cutter attachment for just $149.

I tried the stock blade, and a chain-saw style blade. Neither was optimal. For cutting brush, nothing beats coupling the Milwaukee brush cutter attachment with an Oregon Universal Mulching Brushcutter 2 Tooth blade. It's astounding what you can do with that setup.

[@jcran42]

I use the same oregon blade on my Stihl FS131r for heavy brushcutting and it's an absolute game changer. No other blade even compares for cutting thick briars/vines/etc.

[@oscarsalgado3951]

Hello! Can you tell me more what do you mean by “coupling”? You use both at the same time, or de Milwaukee attachment comes with some kind of adapter needed to then put the Oregon on it?

[@username-mc7jw]

@@oscarsalgado3951 Coupling... simply meaning using the Milwaukee 'together with' the Oregon brush blade.

[@oscarsalgado3951]

@@username-mc7jw thank you!

[@ShakespeareCafe]

Get a arborist helmet and shield...this thing is a beast and it can fling rocks and debris just like the string trimmer. I won't operate mine without it.

[@yurahbom]

I also stand to the right of the tool because of that (using it like im left handed)

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzbin.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.

[@terrydanks]

I have a blackberry cane problem. Just tried this brush cutter today and am very pleased with the results.

[@vincentmarlowe3794]

Thanks for the demo, I got the rig with the string trimmer and know I need a little extra in some place, great video!

[@Trump985]

So in other words it’s a terrible brush cutter but a decent trimmer. I guess that’s why no one has made a video of it actually clearing brush?

[@Bristopher1]

What he’s saying it’s not meant for commercial use for a business but as a residential tool it bits the bill

[@davidstockton196]

Yep. It works great on thick tall heavy grass. Anything woody, not so good.

[@910rick]

Looks pretty useless to be honest, the string will do exactly what you just did there no problem…

[@PreAchEr777x3]

Wish I could find the attachment that allows you to hang all the extension options. Seen that it comes with the extensions in Australia. Screw it on and hang it. Also, when are the going to add snow thrower like the ego?

[@Walkop]

Handheld snow throwers are kind of garbage. Better to just get an electric blower. I'm not talking about power, just by design. They're not good. Way too small to actually get anything done.

[@CPLBSS88]

you'd get better results with the brush attachment.

[@milesmoto1678]

@@Walkopthey made a paddle broom that they rated for a couple inches of snow. I wouldn’t advise it as your only tool tho.

[@STBRetired1]

Has ANYONE ever used or been saved by that Hip Barrier handle? I understand in this Age of Safety and law suits that everyone must be bubble-wrapped but watching the brush cutter in use doesn't seem to make use of that odd little handle.

[@Cantor214]

At 4:37 when connecting the Hip Barrier I had to leave off the inner metal band. Otherwise, I couldn't get one of the screws to reach the nut.

[@2down4up]

Great video, love your stuff! Any chance you’d consider a comparison between the different brush cutter/power head combos from Milwaukee, Ryobi, Ego, and so on?

[@Nite-owl]

Would have been awesome if they could have found a way to sell just a conversion kit to turn their line trimmer fitment into the brush cutter, maybe by just swapping out heads rather than needing a completely separate Quik Lok attachment.

[@weedpuff]

You know why, to make those profit margins!

[@Nite-owl]

@@weedpuff Absolutely !!

[@rcas350pilot8]

I have some brush like this on my property. Discovered that using the hedge trimmer attachment works great. Fast and does an excellent job.

[@WillS644]

I've done that too, it's like a sickle bar mower.

[@PROutdoors94]

Great idea. I feel like that would be more effective than this brush cutter, and more versatile

[@blankblank224]

Getting one for goldenrod

[@gordbrown410]

I bought one. Beats the crap out of your powerhead, and now mine is broken!!! The lightweight aluminum shaft has broken inside the powerhead right where the hole goes through it! $130 to fix it....bad

[@djames819]

Awesome video. I needed some help with the installation as the included instructions were not comprehensive. This was pure gold for me. Thank you!

[@Northland11899]

I use mine all the time with either the brush cutter blade or a carbide tooth blade for saplings that spring up along my woodland driveway. Works great and limb trimmer attachment is great for drooping branches.

[@Enriiquegomez]

I don’t need one but I watch every STR video, thank you Tim very informative!

[@davidlindon99]

I already have the ego trimmer with the power line loader. Can you just buy the powerhead and then get the brush cutter? Looks like they make you buy the trimmer to get the powerbhead

[@singhdogg3435]

What would be more ideal for whackin' out huge weeds?

[@frankcastle6298]

Its always a good idea to retain your nuts!

[@danielrivers1975]

I have an old Echo 58volt trimmer that I regularly put a Forester blade on. Smaller is better. Large diameter blades are for high cc gas trimmers.

[@kylecouture1917]

You can use the same neck/pole/attachment and just swap out the heads between a string or blade right?

[@frankcherry3810]

The string trimmer works just as good except on growth thats 1/2-3/4" or larger

[@jwillis6718]

Can you add the brush cutter blade to the strimmer head ?

[@thelostlaz]

where can find the HEAD, I WANT TO INSTALL DIFFERENT CUTTER BLADE

[@dev_lskr]

Their dual battery trimmer makes more torque than any gas brush cutter on the planet

[@drewtorchia]

I have the head unit already and the pole chainsaw;This might be the middle-ground that I need to deal with blackberries, morning glory, and ivy. Thanks for putting it together.

[@harleyreddragon2394]

Thank you for this video. I'm ordering this attachment asap! I have the M18 Fuel weed eater/pole saw combo. I like the weed eater but with all the miscellaneous "stuff" laying around our farm (fences rows, out buildings etc) I have to replace the string multiple time before I am finished. And don't get me started on weeds...ugh iron weed the bane of my weed eating existence!

[@Settlingintoalaskaliving]

Dude you got alot of junk in the backyard..lol

[@koltonzapp2766]

Can you convert a regular milwaukee weed eater into a weed eater that you can change out the diffrent heads on?

[@allen-gt5ng]

Blade is dull as a butter knife had to sharpen it to do any real good cutting

[@georgejesson1944]

Can you just install a brush blade onto the existing trimmer?

[@jacobrotenberger4952]

Does the hip barrier come with the brush cutter attachment if bought on its own

[@Optimizedforlife]

On high how much run time a you realistically getting out of a full battery?

[@everyone_knows_itsbutterst7808]

Leave the shroud off use a face shield or safety glasses.

[@MrKing21690]

Do i have to buy a whole new attachment or can i just replace the blade on the string trimmer head

[@paulabhagyam]

You need the whole attachment

[@MrSilvervw]

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

Combi units are great, I have 2 Husqvarna 535LK's and they are excellent! With a Oregan mulching blade, they are almost unstoppable! In my opinion, if you are going to use a brushcutter blade,take the guard off!

[@stevew3978]

Yes, definitely take the guard off if you're going to be using a brush cutter blade. That way, it will be easier to take the toes, shin bones, and kneecaps off, also.

Very noticeable difference between turtle and rabbit. Would like to know if Milwaukee sells the lanyard hoop separately?

[@bighammer822]

You can buy the hoop and lanyard together for like $20-$25. Not sure about just the hoop.

Looks like something I could use to try and keep the bamboo away from the fence. Have to look into it. Thanks.
