You’ve probably heard me reference the new cordless M18 outdoor power equipment from Milwaukee earlier this year but now it’s official and they’re here. I’m talking about 3 new outdoor power tools powered by Milwaukee M18 18 volt batteries with an all new string trimmer, hedge trimmer, and blower.

I didn’t attend the 2016 Milwaukee new tool symposium this year but I did see other’s videos on Youtube about the new outdoor power tools from Milwaukee and they were very promising. Back then they showed off units that were not final production models but they were claiming features and power of higher voltage lines but all while still running off of M18 batteries.
This is great news for any Milwaukee M18 user because now you don’t have to look elsewhere if you want battery powered outdoor power tools as now Milwaukee will soon be coming out with a few. Actually they will be coming out in January and Acme Tools is already taking pre-orders on them.
All 3 outdoor power tools are all bundled with one M18 HD 9.0 battery and rapid charger or can be bought as baretools to be used with existing M18 batteries.
