Milwaukee® Expands Outdoor Power Equipment Lineup with the Versatile QUIK-LOK™ Attachment System

Milwaukee Tool continues to expand its growing line of outdoor power equipment solutions with the versatile QUIK-LOK™ Attachment System. The new system is made up of multiple attachments including a line trimmer, edger, chainsaw and hedge trimmer. For the versatility to complete a wide range of applications, users can swap between attachments for use on the M18 FUEL™ Power Head.

Powered by M18 FUEL, the QUIK-LOK Attachment System utilises the most advanced cordless technology to deliver best-in-class power and run time for landscaping and trade professionals. The System also achieves instantaneous throttle response while being up to 1 KG lighter than the other options on the market.

“Attachment systems are not a new concept, but what makes QUIK-LOK so remarkable is that, through our advanced M18 FUEL cordless technology, we’re able to deliver a versatile solution that not only achieves instant throttle response for more control, but it’s also fully compatible with the M18 system which offers more than 145 other solutions. Plus, the ability to switch out multiple attachments based on the application will make jobs quicker, easier and more cost-effective,” said Gustaf Sjoberg,  Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “This is a huge breakthrough for users who are frustrated with gas solutions or investing in multiple battery platforms to use higher voltage options.”

Users can enter the QUIK-LOKAttachment System through the M18 FUEL Power Head with QUIK-LOK or M18 FUEL Line Trimmer with QUIK-LOK. Once installed in the QUIK-LOK Attachment System, users can easily add on any additional attachments they need, when they need them.
