Milwaukee Quik-Lok Attachment System Details

Milwaukee Quik-Lok M18 Fuel Power Head

Like the other tools in Milwaukee’s OPE lineup, they go with an M18 Fuel brushless motorin the power head. Their High Demand 9.0 Ah battery will serve as the primary power source and is what’s available in the kit options. However, you’re free to use any M18 battery from a 2.0 Ah compact pack to the 12.0 Ah High Outputbattery. Just be aware that the battery you use will have an effect on the weight and balance.

Milwaukee Quik-Lok String Trimmer

You’ll get a choice between cutting 14″ and 16″ swaths with the Quik-Lok String Trimmer. Just remove the screws and flip the cutter to switch positions. Milwaukee is also pairing this attachment with their Easy Load Trimmer Headto make those $%#@! line changes easier and less time-consuming.

Milwaukee Quik-Lok Edger

Using a standard 8″ blade, the edger attachment defines the edges of your hardscape with up to 3900 RPM of speed. Gearing specific for this attachment allows the motor to keep the speed up while a metal alloy guard and skid plate offer resistance to the hard surface you’re working against.

Milwaukee Quik-Lok Articulating Hedge Trimmer

Some multi-head systems like Quik-Lok have a hedge trimmer attachment, but Milwaukee takes it to the next level with an articulating model. It’s great for high shrubs or trimming hedge undersides.

You’ll be able to rotate the 20″ head up to 270º and cut branches up to 1″ in diameter. With most cordless hedge trimmersmaxing out around 3/4″, that’s a significant power upgrade.

Final Thoughts

This is clearly a huge expansion for Milwaukee’s OPE lineup and we’re anxious to get these tools in our hands and start testing them. From the beginning, Milwaukee has said they’re targeting Pros who need battery-powered options to supplement their gas equipment in noise and emission restricted areas. While we don’t see a lot a Pros use a multi-head system, this might just be the ticket as a supplemental tool.
