Our take on the Milwaukee 3046-21HD M18 FUEL 16" String Trimmer Kit

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 16" String Trimmer is a cordless, fixed-shaft trimmer built for landscape crews and heavy home use. Its POWERSTATE brushless motor is rated to out-power a 31cc gas trimmer, with a rear-mounted motor for balance and an air-cooling system for long runs. It reaches full throttle in under a second, offers three speeds and a variable-speed trigger, and the Easy Load head spools up to 25 ft of line in under 30 seconds. It runs on the M18 battery system and is optimized for the REDLITHIUM FORGE XC12.0 pack. Against gas trimmers it trades refueling and exhaust for battery weight and run time; against lighter 18V trimmers it is heavier and more expensive but stronger.

Its POWERSTATE brushless motor produces 1.76 HP, which is more power than a 31cc gas trimmer.

The adjustable bail handle can be set for different users and applications. The Easy Load Trimmer Head holds 25' of line and can be loaded in under 30 seconds.

Questions and answers

Does it really match a 31cc gas trimmer?
Milwaukee rates the brushless motor as delivering more power than 31cc gas and holding speed in thick grass without bogging. Owners of gas trimmers generally find the power comparable, with the trade-off being battery weight and run time.
Which battery does it need for the best run time?
It is optimized for the M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE XC12.0 battery, which gives the longest run time and full performance. Smaller M18 packs work but cut run time and may limit power in heavy cutting.
How fast is line reloading?
The Easy Load head takes up to 25 ft of trimmer line and Milwaukee says it can be loaded in under 30 seconds. That removes most of the winding hassle of conventional heads.
Is it too heavy for a homeowner?
It is heavier than most 18V homeowner trimmers, so long sessions can tire your arms. The rear-mounted motor keeps it balanced, which helps control, but casual users may prefer a lighter model.
What comes in the kit?
The kit ships as a complete set with the trimmer, battery and charger, so it is ready to run out of the box. Check the kit listing for the exact battery and charger included.
Does it work with other Milwaukee batteries?
Yes. It is part of the M18 system and is compatible with M18 batteries across more than 275 tools. Older or smaller packs fit but give shorter run time.
