- 🚨 READ FULL DESCRIPTION - In this video I show why some people just can't use battery power equipment, especially a string trimmer. I am using the Milwaukee M18 Quik-Lok string trimmer attachment and I used to make these same mistakes time after time until I started to understand my equipment. I show a few bad habits in going from a gas trimmer to a battery trimmer and a few things you will need to change to make it happen.

Wow Bill thank you so much. I truly appreciate the super thanks 👍🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas Oh your very welcome. You did help me out cause I didn't know that and you always have good tips, plus I always like you and your channel buddy 👍💯
@@wildbillslawncare5901 appreciate that Bill. My next video will feature your channel for sure 👍🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas Your always welcome. Oh thank you I really appreciate that. That means a lot to me. I was wondering can you still not comment on my videos cause that really has me puzzled?
@@wildbillslawncare5901 tried to comment on your two of your videos. I wonder if it’s because I put a link to my hipa store for parts.
Kudos to the little guy on the go-pro hero,, camera phone, yeah turtle mode is life on my 8ah battery unless im getting it with over-grown high weeds, now if you own a lawm-care buisness then go gas powered redmax, stihl, echo. sea you fellas on the flip-side.
Yea I have gas powered equipment. Shindaiwa 262t and echo 2320t. But this does do good if they are manicured lawns. My camera man is awesome 💪🏼
Nice backyrd you got there mate and so clean and well maintain in green grass
Thank you 💪🏼💯
Love the review
Thanks 👍🏼💯
My church has a fence like that in the back so I understand you got to pull it out with your hands. I got to say that's pretty powerful just being on slow mode. Your 8 year old son is a good camera man. Yea I admit I run my string around 8 inches and I also squeeze the trigger also. That does make sense, but I never used a battery operated one yet so you made some real good points. Thank you for the tip brother 👊💯
For sure Bill. That is one of battery power equipment you can use in the lawn care field. The other is hedge trimmers. Blowers and mowers in my opinion aren’t there yet. 👍🏼
@@TheLawnFellas I can't believe you did all that and only lost one bar and the bar came back. Your right definitely can use that in the lawn care field. Yes and the hedge trimmers. Yea I can see why blowers and mowers wouldn't not powerful enough at least not yet 👊💯
@@wildbillslawncare5901 yes and I did it on an 8.0 battery. Most guys on UA-cam use the 12.0 battery.
@@TheLawnFellas That is amazing with a lower powered battery. Your right most guys do use the 12.0 battery.
👊🏼💯
Interesting perspective, and if you're edging or trimming against objects you don't need a long line anyway. Just step 3 inches closer. Might as well save the battery!
From what I can tell, the people who get into trouble with this overheating might be running their line longer and stressing the motor ... but what's concerning there is that this is a 14-16" trimmer, and you're staying safer by only using yours as a 10" trimmer.
I have the big 35cc Honda but it's a pain to use for quick trims because it must always be used with the handlebars and harness. I think this M18 might be a good companion for it and leave the Honda to the brush.
For sure. I took this out and got 4-5 lawns on one 8ah battery. So it definitely can be done. Thanks for watching 💪🏼💯
14-16" is from the tip of one side to the tip of the other including the width of the head. He is at least at 16" and maybe a little more.
You need to come hang out at EQUIP EXPO would love to meet you !
Bro I would love to meet you as well. Maybe next year. Gotta plan around me teaching and working. It’s a busy time for me 👊🏼💯
@@TheLawnFellas just come for Thursday
@@tonyslawncare next year I am gonna set it up. I will bring my wife with me on a little vacation 👍🏼
I've got an acre yard and have to do inside and outside my fence - I go through a few 9.0 batteries (slow speed) - and depending on if it's hot out or not the batteries can overheat and shut down for thermal protection - still enjoy using my milwaukee trimmer though - but that being said the weight does wear on you, at least for my size of yard and having to deal with non-flat terrain here in TN. Curious why you don't use the guard - you are manually trimming your line to that length everytime?
Honestly I love the trimmer it’s awesome. Obviously if I was doing a major hillside with higher weeds I would pull out my gas trimmer. As for the guard. In my opinion it waste trimmer line and doesn’t protect much. I am more concerned about protecting a window in front of me but I recommend leaving it on. For the trimmer line if I bump my head and it’s to long I just flip it up and wind it down a little no biggie. As you can see I trimmed my lawn and never bumped my head once. 👍🏼
On another not do you think the points I made in the video will help you??
@@TheLawnFellas i've been using the trimmer for ages so not much I personally gained (Not saying that in a negative way) but for anyone who may watch that doesn't use electric I can see great value in it for them...only gas yard tool i've got as this point is my riding mower, otherwise I am pretty much all Milwaukee - no 60 gallon air compressor anymore either because electrics work as good or better for most air uses as well
@@jasonbarner9931 awesome thanks for the feedback and definitely good to know about the compressor for sure. 👊🏼💯
Milwaukee M18Fuel with the 8.0 battery gets me 27 mins at max doing what you just did.
Yea that’s about 4-5 average 6,000 square foot lawns.
man my back is hurting watching you use that thing. ya need a darwins grip on there!
I do for sure bro. 😂😂 I never tried one will it help me??
@@TheLawnFellas I see most people that are around 6 ft like me complain about their mid-back bothering them more with the Darwin's grip and that is how it does mean my mid back bothers me but my low back does not I couldn't use a trimmer anymore without a Darwin's grip
@@BioHazardra good to know maybe I should give one a try. Thanks 👊🏼💯
Can you feather the throttle or is it just all go all the time
That’s the nice thing about this trimmer is you can feather it. It’s not as easy as a gas one but better than any other battery brand I used. Hope that helps 👍🏼
@@TheLawnFellas thanks
Well of course he can now do the whole job with one battery… it’s already done!
And now that I just spent 7min watching a guy weed whack his back yard, I’m wondering why I’m still here.
Not sure what that means. The lawn needed trimmed. If you are thinking that trimmer can’t handle overgrown stuff. Then watch this video right here. ua-cam.com/video/1_YbpEZNXFw/v-deo.htmlsi=67oK3FBx6kQ7VOja
MILWAUKEE TRIMMER FOR THE WIN!!
All day for sure. Thanks Tony for watching 👍🏼
Spelled Makita wrong
Which way does that trimmer spin? if it's to the right, your going the wrong way with it.
To the left like all my other trimmers. I like to go left to blow the grass away from the fence. 👍🏼
I have four heads and they all get tangled up inside after about one to two minutes then I have to restring it. So they sit in the garage. They are junk.
Well you can always put the speed feed on them but this is very similar to the speed feed!! But it works well for me.
@@TheLawnFellas Milwaukee sent me one of them and it was tangled up in the package. I sent them a picture of it and they sent me another one. Same thing. So they sent me a whole new trimmer with head. Same thing. Now they don't talk to me.
@@iamcarrot1 😂😂😂 you definitely had some bad luck for sure.
Y are u running not everyone moves that quick
I probably sped it up 2x for time purposes. That was a while ago lol.
All this to say, Keep the trigger engaged. Thanks for wasting my time!
@@JohnyLatelyCome actually all this to say don’t keep the trigger engaged. Thanks for not listening!!!
Also if you go a little slower it might come out better.. have another line of coke
Wow I don’t condone the negative comment but have at it. I guess you go like a turtle when you trim. I am about quality so if I can go fast and get quality it’s a win. If I think I need to go slow and get quality that’s what I will do. God bless!!
@@TheLawnFellas me guarantee if you took your glasses off, you would see all the misses, it's ok, if cocaine is your preference then enjoy....
lol best of luck to you. 😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao this is how fast we go when trim lawns on the la escaping company if not faster thats one of the things about doing something everyday all day you learn how you do fast efficient and with quality in mind
@@joehertel8846 exactly 👍🏼
your intro music is real loud & speaking volume is low
Hmmm you seemed to have the only issue with it. Not sure how to fix it. Butt I was outside without a mic.
@@TheLawnFellas "seemed" on the basis that I'm apparently the only one who commented.
Just offering info - not a personal criticism. I was under the impression that music was added later & not simply a feature of the outdoor environment.
Good on you for uploading - hope you won't be discouraged by feed back, from learning about your chosen medium.
Yes - extreme volume differences not intended as a matter of creative choice (see american music '56 - present, vs television commercials) are perhaps an issue unique to me (but I doubt it).
Best of luck in everything you do.
@@unitardization I won’t get discouraged. I like the feedback for sure. I take everyone’s feedback back and learn from it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼

Not sure what that means
Why are you just using this and not explaining how to fix any problems?!!!
I thought I did say in the video. Don’t keep running the trimmer going from spot to spot.
