Product Overview

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 16 in. Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (3016-21ST-49-16-2738) is a high-performance outdoor solution that combines Milwaukee’s top-tier M18 FUEL powertrain with the modular flexibility of the Quik-Lok™ attachment system. This kit includes the 16 in. string trimmer head, the brush cutter attachment, and Milwaukee’s newest 8.0Ah FORGE battery for extended runtime and faster charging.

With its brushless motor and optimized gear ratio, this trimmer delivers more power than a 27cc gas trimmer, capable of clearing thick overgrowth and dense grass. The Quik-Lok™ system allows you to easily switch attachments—including the included brush cutter—for cutting back saplings, thick weeds, or wild growth without carrying multiple tools.

The variable speed trigger offers precision control, while the two-speed settings allow you to prioritize either runtime or cutting performance. The included 8.0Ah FORGE battery ensures long sessions in the yard with improved thermal performance and durability.

Compared to Other Trimmers

The brushless motor and FORGE battery deliver stronger performance and longer runtime than standard 18V systems, and outperform many gas-powered models in both torque and efficiency.
