Milwaukee 2828-20E M18 Brushless 16″ String Trimmer – Tool Only

The Milwaukee 2828-20E M18 Brushless String Trimmer is built for fast cutting in dense grass with a lighter overall feel for all-day use. Its brushless motor delivers up to 6,200 RPM and as much as 1.39 HP, keeping line speed up in thick brush and tall growth where lesser trimmers slow down. Paired with an M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC6.0 battery (sold separately) and Milwaukee’s REDLINK™ electronics, the tool maintains consistent power while protecting against overload. A two-speed selector (Low/High) and variable-speed trigger let operators match performance to the task—maximize runtime for weekly edging or push power for overgrown areas. The adjustable 14″–16″ cutting swath clears more grass per pass, and the Easy Load head accepts 25′ of .080″ or 20′ of .095″ trimmer line and reloads in under 30 seconds. At 9.1 lb assembled, this cordless grass trimmer provides control around fences, beds, and sidewalks without cords or gas upkeep, and it runs on the same M18 batteries used across 300+ tools.
