Weed Whackers

[CorbLand]

Need to get one for my house. Wont be commercial use, just getting the grass around the edges and a few spots that I cant get the mower to easily. Less than 30 minutes of use a week. Dont want gas so looking at the electric Milwaukee or Makita.

I dont have tools of either so it will also be the start of what I buy from here on out.

Anybody have either? Good and/or bad of it.

I have the Milwaukee weedeater. No complaints. If it broke, I'd buy another tomorrow.

I’ve had the Milwaukee Fuel trimmer for a while now and it’s been great. Don’t miss dealing with my old Stihl at all.

Same, Milwaukee or bust. I'm an electrician and have many other Milawukee cordless tools. They seem to hold up the best

Bought a kobalt battery powered from Lowes. Works great. Usually done in the time it took me to get my last 2 stroke started

I have the Milwaukee. I believe it was my first M18 tool actually. Now I own like 25. So buying one might end up costing you several thousand dollars.

Milwaukee..

Another vote for the Milwaukee. It chews through batteries as fast as weeds but that doesn’t bother me. Just grab another battery. Beats the heck out of running to the gas station to finish a job. Side note: the fuel handheld blower is amazing as well for smaller jobs. Like blowing off the patio or truck bed. Zip, done.

Milwaukee M18 trimmer. It’s great, I’ve had mine for a year.

If you’re making the investment in battery powered tools, Milwaukee is the way to go for longevity.

I'd get a corded one. Screw those batteries. I've got a corded push mower (kobalt) that has been a champ. Going on 6 years old I think. All I've done is sharpened the blade.

Plus one for Milwaukee

I’ve got the Kobalt 80v weedwacker, mower, and chainsaw. They’re all impressive and give up nothing to gas equipment other than really prolonged use.

Well, I was hoping there was some love for Makita as Home Depot has them on sale right now. Does anyone put them on sale around memorial or Father’s Day?

Milwaukee is what I currently use. Previously ran the dewalt and had no complaints on it.

I would need a lot of extension cords to do my yard with corded anything.

Yep, Milwaukee - it's a great tool. Also has several attachments you can get that are solid. Pole saw, edge trimmer, and a couple of types of brushes for clearing snow or dirt from a driveway. Great system, love mine.

I'll never get other electric weed eater again. Got a Steihl, and it's the prius of weed eaters. No power. I'll use gas until our gov shuts it down

 

[adamm88]

I have a dewalt that i like, if you need tools look at what you may need and go that cordless route
