Milwaukee Tool 3046-20 M18 Fuel String Trimmer 16 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 3046-20 is an M18 FUEL brushless battery-powered string trimmer built for professional landscaping and grounds maintenance work. It features a straight shaft design measuring 45 inches in length and an overall tool length of 69.5 inches, making it well-suited for extended reach trimming along fences, beds, and structures. The brushless motor delivers 1.76 horsepower and drives a 16-inch cutting swath using 0.095-inch trimmer line. The unit ships with an Easy Load trimmer head and pre-wound 0.095-inch line. No battery is included. Landscapers, groundskeepers, and property maintenance professionals are the primary users of this tool.

This trimmer is designed for residential and commercial landscaping applications where corded equipment is impractical. The straight shaft configuration is preferred by professionals for better balance during extended use and improved reach under low-clearance obstacles such as shrubs and decks. The M18 FUEL platform runs on Milwaukee M18 lithium-ion batteries, allowing integration with an existing M18 battery inventory. The self-propelled cutting head reduces operator fatigue on large properties.
