I got this deal last week and it then jumped up to $639. HD brought it back down. If you have the batteries already and needed a couple OPE tools, this deal is solid. Quik-Lok base with String Trimmer, Hedge Trimmer, Edger and Pole Saw. good luck

Just a random comment related to this.. I wasn't expecting to be impressed by the string trimmer.. but I was impressed by the string trimmer. Coming from a curved shaft echo and a straight shaft brute of a husqvarna.. the milwaukee kicked some ass on her maiden voyage.

10/10 would buy again. I've used it once.
I've watched it bounce between the $6xx price to $4xx price for about a year now. This is a good deal compared to the regular price if somebody already has the batteries and charger, and needs all or most of the attachments, but warm-ish for everybody else.

I jumped on the $299 for the string trimmer + hedge trimmer attachment deal that came with a rapid charger and 8.0 Ah battery (https://slickdeals.net/f/14950253-milwaukee-m18-string-trimmer-hedge-trimmer-8-0ah-battery-charger-299-99) because I primarily needed those two attachments, and need more batteries anyway (I heard these outdoor tools eat up battery power like no tomorrow). I'll have to sell the charger (or it isn't a big deal to have a spare) and that's easier that selling off attachments, IMO.

The string trimmer + edger attachment version of the same $299 deal made it to the FP too (https://slickdeals.net/f/14945429-milwaukee-m18-fuel-18v-string-trimmer-w-edger-attachment-8-0ah-battery-303-more-free-shipping).

Milwuakee might be pushing harder on promotions for their outdoor power equipment (OPE) now that summer is rolling around.

Quote from Rebate Virgin :
I already have a complete set of Echo attachment landscaping tools. Great tools but I would love to avoid the noise, the fumes, the fuel mix, the stale gas, and the tuneup kits. It costs a decent amount of money to keep the gas powered tools running. I went ahead and bought this battery powered Milwaukee set, I'm hopeful it will perform as well as my Echo gear without the noise & fumes.

I didn't think I wanted cordless stuff.. but several times with the chainsaw and now the string trimmer, I've gone ahead and done some quick work I might have saved for a bigger effort because there was none of the fuel hassle/ warmup/ noise/ etc.

If maintenance costs are a replacement battery every couple years (or a new toy.. er.. kit!), I'll consider it savings.

Can anyone recommend a decent garden tool that takes care of very established vine roots?
To eliminate?
Compound loppers, then saturate the cut end with 20% roundup mix (use an old water bottle and drill a hole in the cap).
Or use a mattock and dig them out.

Quote from Mike21b :
The 9AH batteries have a poor reputation due to high failure rate and overheating, and Milwaukee has ceased production of them. This info comes from a company insider who tests them.
I get the impression that there may be compound overheating issues: battery + trimmer motor.

I've owned a pair of the non-"Quick-lok" M18 trimmers for a couple years now.
These came with the HD 9.0Ah batteries.
Initially performance was STELLAR!
However, over time, performance has degraded significantly.
Please note that these are fairly lightly used units that have been properly maintained.

On warmer days (70 deg. F or more), after several minutes of use, trigger action becomes unstable. Sometimes, it takes many rapid presses of the trigger before I can get the units to operate.
Under intense loads (fairly high ambient temperatures + significant weeds/brush), the batteries may overheat, and the battery level LEDs begin to flash in what may be described as a "panic" pattern.
Under such circumstances, the only solution seems to be to allow the equipment to cool down, then resume operations. Simply swapping batteries improves things, but still does not provide the expected reprieve. The motor simply needs a breather.

I recently purchased a pair of the High Output HD 12.0Ah batteries.
Things are significantly better (pointing at improved performance over the 9.0 batteries), but again, ambient temperatures matter.
With continued use, the sketchy trigger behavior surfaces. I'm convinced that the native temperature sensor in these trimmers degrades fairly quickly.
When these issues surface, I personally do not consider the trimmer's motor casing to be alarmingly warm/hot...Confused
In addition, my use-case has not changed over the course of ownership.
I only use these tools on my single personal property, and this has remained constant.

I've been considering taking my chances and disabling/bypassing the temperature protection on the trimmer motor (if possible)...

Acme Tools (and a couple other sites like CPO, Northern Tool) are running another promotion with 8.0 battery kits instead:

https://www.acmetools.com/shop/to...geSize:24&

$30 off select $300 purchase.
$100 off select $400 purchase.
$200 off select $600 purchase.

They make it intentionally difficult to reach the exact price points, but it's a decent value if you need a good high amp battery.
