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.

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.
