Detailed Review

The Milwaukee M18 Brushless String Trimmer (2828-20) is a battery powered outdoor power tool engineered for cutting back grass and weeds. It offers a cordless solution for homeowners or crew members who already use Milwaukee 18V tools and want to trim yard edges without handling gas or managing extension cords.

At the core of the tool is a brushless motor that delivers up to 6,200 RPM across a wide 16-inch cutting swath. It utilizes a bump line advance system to feed trimmer line on demand, and it accepts both .080-inch and .095-inch diameter line depending on your job requirements.

Because this is sold as a tool-only model, you will need to provide your own Milwaukee M18 18V battery and compatible charger. Physically, the trimmer measures 71.0 inches long, 10.5 inches wide, and 13.0 inches deep, with a bare weight of 9.1 pounds before a battery is attached.

Verdict: This string trimmer is a solid pick for anyone who owns Milwaukee M18 batteries and needs a high-speed cordless tool for clearing grass. If you do not already own M18 batteries, remember to factor in the separate purchase of a battery and charger.
