Milwaukee 2725-20 M18 FUEL 16 in. Straight Shaft String Trimmer (Bare Tool)

I have had all kinds and brands of weed eaters. For the best power you have to go for gas until now. I was amazed at how torquey this fuel m18 was. Besides the power you don't get the number hands like the gas ones also it is lighter than my Toro. I need a strap to hold it up the gas ones and this one there is no need. Now one reason I bought Milwaukee was it takes the standard batteries I used my 9.0ah bat on the low setting and found I didn't need to go for the higher speed it gave me 26min of 3foot grass being cut and I was amazed how much I got done in that short amount of time. So I think they have made a perfect balance between power and weight that I can't see anyone topping in the near future.

This is a good trimmer. It is easy to use. Can do some edging but the length makes it a bit of a challenge.

The speed settings (fast & slow) really only equate to battery life savings as neither speed provides enough nuts to tackle grass/weeds that have been allowed to grow more than a week or two. If you mow and trim your yard weekly, this is a great tool as it will trim weekly growth with ease. However, if you think this unit will weed whip like a gas powered unit, you will be mistaken as it struggles to tackle extended growth. True, this is NOT a gas unit but don't think that just because it's a Milwaukee that it has the power and strength equal to the other outstanding products they make...it does not. In summary, GREAT unit for weekly trimming and I love the ease of use to tackle weekly yard care. If you let your grass or weeds get too thick, have an extra battery ready as you'll be a while. Personally, I kept my gas powered unit as back up in the event I need the extra strength and line speed.

This is a great start to Milwaukee making this great machine. It has a better reputation than what a gas weed wacker has. We have a as weed trimmer and the Milwaukee just knocks it out of the park. Keep going Milwaukee!

Would recommend to anyone. Well worth the investment. I have alot of trim work, use push mower. Has cut my pushing in half. No fuel mixing, just charge and trim.

Everything a gas trimmer does without the gas

This trimmer is a great product I would recommend it to my best friend... in fact I did... he tried mine and bought one for himself....

This is a great product! Runs really well especially with the 0.095" trim line. I have used mine a lot and am very pleased, at the DIY level this replaces any gas powered trimmer period, yes it's that solid. Milwaukee has done really well designing this and I expect to get years of faithful service from it.

I too really wish it had a shoulder strap, also find the guard a bit small and got covered in grass. And got the long brush wrapped around the head. (Never had these issues with my gas trimmer.) I dont have a problem dealing with the torx head screws, would be nice if they were slotted to allow for a flat head screwdriver as an option. I like the nail hole in the back to hang it from and its quiet. Feels like quality. Next time im going to use my 4.0ah battery and see if its easier to carry around.

you don't have to try to get it to start or mix fuel or here all that noise and my wife loves it
