Milwaukee 3016-20PS M18 Fuel Cordless Pole Saw Quik-lok

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 3016-20PS is a cordless pole saw built for landscape maintenance professionals requiring consistent cutting performance without the maintenance demands of a gas-powered unit. Powered by a POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, it delivers more output than 31cc gas powerheads and reaches full throttle in under 1 second. The motor is positioned at the rear of the unit to optimize balance and reduce operator fatigue during extended overhead cutting. REDLINK PLUS intelligence protects against overload, overheating, and over-discharge while managing throttle response through a variable speed trigger. The 10 inch bar and chain uses a 3/8 inch low-profile pitch with a .043 inch gauge cutting system. A licensed HVAC, landscape, or grounds maintenance professional installs and operates this unit in field conditions.

The 3016-20PS is designed for commercial and residential landscape maintenance applications where overhead limb removal and canopy trimming are routine. The QUIK-LOK attachment interface allows the power head to accept any of 13 compatible Milwaukee attachments, making it a multi-function platform on a single battery system. The included 3-foot extension attachment provides 7 to 10 feet of total reach, suitable for mid-canopy work without ladders. The unit ships as a tool-only configuration and requires an M18 REDLITHIUM battery, sold separately. An automatic bar oiler with a translucent reservoir reduces maintenance stops during extended runs.
