Milwaukee String Trimmers

A Milwaukee® String Trimmer skips mixing fuel, pulling cords, and most of the fumes and noise that come with gas. Running on the same M18™ batteries that power your Milwaukee drill and impact driver, all you have to do is click on a charged pack and start cutting. This lineup starts with a light brushless grass trimmer for weekly touch-ups and climbs to FUEL™ string trimmers built for dense overgrowth.

What a Milwaukee String Trimmer Handles

A string trimmer covers the spots that your mower can't reach: strips along the fence line, edges of the driveway, and the grass around posts and equipment pads. And if you’re using a string line instead of a blade, you can cut closely against surfaces like brick, siding, and chain-link without leaving marks, making it a good solution for tighter spots to mow.

When tackling grass and soft weeds, a string trimmer excels, but it struggles with woody growth. That’s where a Milwaukee hedge trimmer comes in, taking over where the string line can’t handle the job. 

Milwaukee M18 VS M18 FUEL™ String Trimmers

Across the M18 trimmer options, the real differences are cutting width, power, and runtime, so those three numbers do the choosing. For a smaller lot, the standard brushless M18 string trimmer offers a 14 to 16-inch cutting width and up to 20 minutes of steady trimming per charge.  Enough to edge most residential properties without swapping packs.

When the growth is heavier, step up to FUEL string trimmer models. The 16-inch M18 FUEL string trimmer delivers 1.76 HP from its POWERSTATE™ brushless motor. That’s more power than most 31cc gas engines. The QUIK-LOK™ trimmer adds up to an hour of runtime per charge, and the same M18 packs run cordless tools across the Milwaukee lineup, so they stay useful after trimming season. The dual-battery 17-inch trimmer hits up to 3.8 HP peak with a 15 to 17-inch cut.

Running Your Milwaukee String Trimmer in Canada

MPR ships Milwaukee grass trimmers anywhere in Canada, with no cross-border costs to sort out. If you're starting from zero, get a kit that includes M18 battery packs and a charger, and everything shows up ready to work. One order, full setup.

Pack size determines how much grass you get per charge, so battery capacity is worth considering before checkout. Across the range of Milwaukee batteries, a compact battery keeps the trimmer light for short jobs, while a high-capacity pack runs the FUEL trimmers to their full runtime.

FAQ

Do All Milwaukee String Trimmers Take Attachments?

No, only the M18 FUEL QUIK-LOK trimmer does. It accepts all 13 QUIK-LOK attachments, including the edger, hedge trimmer, and pole saw. The 16-inch FUEL and dual-battery 17-inch trimmers are dedicated string trimmers, so they can't swap heads.

What Size Line Do Milwaukee String Trimmers Use?

Milwaukee string trimmers run 0.080-inch or 0.095-inch lines. The thinner line suits everyday grass and edging, while the 0.095 holds up better in thick weeds. Milwaukee's own trimmer line comes pre-cut or in spools, and standard line from other brands fits too.

How to Load / Restring a Milwaukee String Trimmer?

The M18 FUEL string trimmer uses an Easy Load trimmer head. Feed up to 25 ft of trimmer line through the head eyelets and wind it onto the spool. Milwaukee rates the reload at under 30 seconds once you know the steps.

How To Install a Milwaukee Easy Load Trimmer Head?

It threads right onto the spindle by hand, no wrench needed. First, pull the battery. Put the pin that comes with the head into the gearcase hole and turn the spindle until it locks. Then thread the Easy Load head clockwise until it's snug, and load your line.
