Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Quik-Lok 3016-21ST 16 in. 18 V Battery String Trimmer Kit (Battery & Charger)

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Quik-Lok 3016-21ST is a cordless 16-inch string trimmer built for landscape crews and demanding homeowners. Its brushless POWERSTATE motor sits at the rear for balance, reaches full throttle in under a second, and Milwaukee claims more power than 31cc gas trimmers. The split-boom Quik-Lok system lets one power head drive 13 attachments, which cuts the cost of adding a pole saw or edger. Reviewers rate the power and the Easy Load head highly; the main complaints are weight and the premium the kit commands over basic cordless trimmers.

About the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Quik-Lok 3016-21ST 16 in. 18 V Battery String Trimmer Kit (Battery & Charger)

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Quik-Lok string trimmer is a cordless split-boom trimmer made for landscape maintenance. It has two parts: the M18 FUEL power head with Quik-Lok and the Quik-Lok string trimmer attachment. The power head works with all 13 Milwaukee Quik-Lok attachments, so you can swap attachments on a single power head.

A POWERSTATE brushless motor sits at the rear of the trimmer for balance and maneuverability. It delivers more power than 31cc gas power heads and holds its speed in demanding work without bogging down. An air-cooling system helps the motor sustain heavy use. REDLINK PLUS intelligence protects against overload, overheating and over-discharge.

The trimmer reaches full throttle in under 1 second and has 3 speed settings plus a variable speed trigger. The cutting swath adjusts to 16 in. for more power or 14 in. for more runtime. The Easy Load trimmer head loads up to 25 ft. of line in under 30 seconds. The kit includes an M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE XC8.0 battery and a charger.
