How many single-use tools do you have cluttering your garage right now? If you look around, there’s probably a string trimmer gathering dust in the corner, an edger you haven’t touched since last spring, a leaf blower you’re always trying to find another use for, and the list goes on. Each tool takes up precious floor and wall space, leaving you looking for a better solution.

But what if you could skip all the separate machines in favor of one tool to rule them all? With the Milwaukee Quik-Lok Attachment System, you definitely can. It lets you snap whatever attachment you need onto the M18 FUEL powerhead and keep moving without missing a beat. Trimming overgrown edges? Click. Sawing through stubborn branches? Click. Pretending you’re a professional landscaper while your neighbor watches? Click, click.

It’s plug and play for your yard, and honestly it’s about time someone made outdoor power equipment this satisfying to swap around. Ready to see what magic awaits when you add this toolset to your life? Let’s look at every attachment Milwaukee makes for this system.

The Quik-Lok String Trimmer Attachment is the workhorse of any yard maintenance routine. It’s the attachment you’ll snap on more than any other, which is why Milwaukee made sure this one doesn’t mess around. With this attachment, you get a choose-your-own-adventure cutting swath, letting you flip between a tidy 14-inch cut for preserving precious battery juice and a “get out of my way” 16-inch path of destruction for when the weeds grow out of control. With speeds ranging from 4,900 to 6,200 RPM, this thing has enough muscle to handle whatever your yard throws at it.

One thing you’re really going to love about this attachment is the Easy Load trimmer head. If you’ve ever wrestled with a traditional trimmer head, cursing while trying to thread line through tiny holes like you’re performing microsurgery, you’ll understand the appeal immediately. The Easy Load system lets you load up to 25 feet of 0.080″ or 0.095″ line in under 30 seconds. Just feed it in, click it shut, and you’re back to work. And because it’s part of the Quik-Lok system, the drive shaft is protected against drops and storage mishaps, so you don’t have to baby it like your neighbor does with his finicky gas trimmer.

Okay, let’s address the elephant in the yard: You’ve been using your string trimmer to edge your lawn, haven’t you? Flipping it sideways, hoping for the best, pretending the jagged, uneven line along your driveway looks rustic instead of just sad? Yeah, we’ve all been there, but not anymore. It’s time to upgrade, and the Quik-Lok Edger Attachment is the intervention you need. It’s got an 8-inch blade that spins at 3,900 RPM, delivering enough torque to slice through packed dirt, chop down overgrown grass, and sling rocks right out of the ground (so maybe don’t forget your safety glasses).

Thoughtful details help keep things under control. Mud flaps limit dirt kickback so your shins don’t take the hit, while a skid plate protects the gearbox from those inevitable run-ins with concrete. The adjustable wheel lets you set both blade depth and cutting angle. And there’s a metal alloy guard with a blade indicator line, so you can see exactly where you’re cutting. One thing to keep in mind is that this thing is a battery hog, so have a backup charged and ready if you’re tackling a big job. But honestly? Finally getting those crisp, professional-looking edges is worth every amp-hour.

We need to have a little chat about garden bed edges. Right now, yours are probably a soft, blurry suggestion between your lawn and your mulch — a no-man’s-land where grass creeps in and where your definition of neat goes to die. You could spend hours on your knees with a trenching tool, or you could unleash the Quik-Lok Bed Redefiner. And yes, it’s pretty different from the edger.

While the standard Edger is designed to cut a vertical slit against hard surfaces like concrete sidewalks, the bed redefiner carves a crisp, dramatic V-shaped trench up to about 2-3/4 inches deep and roughly 3 inches wide. It features an adjustable wheel to keep your depth consistent so you don’t accidentally dig an uneven moat, along with mud flaps to help keep the mess contained.

But that doesn’t mean you can skip the work boots. Spinning at 2,000 RPM, this blade means business, and if it hits a buried rock, you’re going to feel it immediately. It also surpasses the edger’s hunger for battery power, so keep a couple of fully charged batteries on standby if you’re tackling anything beyond a small bed or two.

If you’ve been standing on the top rung of a rickety ladder with a chainsaw, balancing like a circus performer and hoping gravity is on your side, stop it. Seriously. Get down from there before you end up as a serious cautionary tale. Instead, get the M18 FUEL Pole Saw Attachment to keep both feet on the ground while you give your overgrown canopy a much-needed haircut. This 10-inch beast, armed with a pro-grade Oregon bar and chain, makes short work of rogue branches. It comes with smart features you didn’t know you needed, like an automatic oiler that keeps things running smoothly and a clever branch hook, perfect for wrestling stubborn limbs to the earth.

If you treat yourself to this attachment, be sure to pair it with the 3-Foot Extension. This is what turns “almost out of reach” into “easily conquered,” eliminating any temptation to attempt the wildly inadvisable jump-and-cut maneuver. Oh, and word to the wise: Like pretty much every pole saw in existence, this thing can get a little leaky with the bar oil if you store it improperly. Keep it upright or drain the oil if you’re parking it for the winter. Now go on, reclaim your skyline.

Remember last spring when you spent three hours hunched over with a hand trowel and other Amazon gardening gadgets, trying to turn soil that had the consistency of concrete? Yeah, let’s not do that again. The Quik-Lok Cultivator Attachment is your ticket to redemption. This mighty tool breaks up hard ground without breaking your spirit (or your back). It’s armed with four aggressive, 9-inch bolo-style blades that churn through tough soil, stubborn clay, and compacted earth with ease.

The perfect 9-inch width lets you weave through garden beds and around existing plants without accidentally declaring war on your prized petunias. An optimized guard contains the chaos, so you’re tilling soil, not redecorating your entire yard with dirt and debris. And at 41.5 inches long, it offers plenty of reach, saving you from that awkward, back-straining squat-walk. Now, a little tough love: At 9.4 pounds, this is the heavyweight champ of the Quik-Lok family. So, definitely get the shoulder strap. It’s also important to know this is a cultivator, not a full-on rototiller for breaking virgin sod. For untouched land, give it a head start with a shovel, then let the cultivator swoop in for the satisfying finish.

You’ve probably long since sworn off rakes, and you’ve likely found a thousand things your blower can do beyond just pushing leaves around, like dusting snow off your car. But that doesn’t mean you want an entire separate tool taking up valuable shelf space just for quick cleanups. Fortunately, the Quik-Lok Blower Attachment is here to save the day.

This blower delivers 500 CFM at 120 MPH, which is more than enough power to clear grass clippings, leaves, and small debris. Is it going to compete with a dedicated backpack blower for moving a mountain of autumn leaves? Probably not. But for the daily tidy-up, the post-mowing clean sweep, and clearing the garage floor, it’s an absolute hero.

At 4.6 pounds and 34 inches on its own, it’s light enough to maneuver easily but powerful enough to actually get the job done. Because it snaps onto the end of your long powerhead shaft, this blower gives you serious reach. The total length stretches to 66 inches, letting you get the nozzle right down to the pavement without hunching over, or reach upward to clear cobwebs without grabbing a ladder. Plus, it runs at a polite 59dB, so you can finish the job without making enemies of your neighbors.

Your hedges have reached that special level of overgrown where they’re no longer giving charming cottage vibes, but have crossed into “actively lowering your property value.” Time to do something about it, and Milwaukee gives you two ways to tackle the problem: the Quik-Lok Articulating Hedge Trimmer and the standard Quik-Lok Hedge Trimmer. Yes, your days of using a chainsaw to trim hedges are officially over.

The articulating hedge trimmer rotates a full 270 degree, giving you 13 different operating positions plus a convenient storage position. All that articulation means you can level off the tops of tall hedges without holding a regular trimmer over your head until your arms fall off. It’s got power for days, too, cutting branches up to 1 inch thick.

On the other hand, if your landscaping isn’t trying to touch the clouds, the standard hedge trimmer is a fantastic lightweight alternative. It skips the pivoting head to shave off some weight, making it significantly easier to whip around for general sculpting and shaping without turning your shoulders into jelly. Like the pole saw, these two attachments pair nicely with the 3-foot extension. Adding that extra reach lets you tackle taller sections from the ground, reducing the urge to do anything questionable in the name of one more cut.

Some cleanup jobs are just too big, too messy, or just too dang annoying for a standard broom or rake. Whether it’s a lawn full of acorns after a storm or a driveway coated in gritty sand, the Quik-Lok Rubber Broom and the Quik-Lok Bristle Brush will come in clutch whenever you need a little extra muscle. They look pretty similar, but do very different jobs.

The rubber broom is essentially a supercharged squeegee. Instead of flimsy bristles, it uses thick rubber paddles to shove heavy, wet debris like slush and sodden leaves without getting clogged. The best part? Its rubber paddles are genius at flicking debris off your grass without tearing up the turf. So, when your neighbor’s snowplow-equipped truck pushes tons of gravel onto your lawn, you’re ready to quickly push it right back where it belongs.

The bristle brush is like a powerful little street sweeper for your patio. Its stiff bristles dig into the grooves of concrete to sweep away embedded sand, dirt, and dust in an instant. Your blower would just politely rearrange the dust and call it a day. Just be forewarned: Using this brush is quite the workout. To make it a bit easier, try flipping it around and pulling instead of pushing it around.

When you’re facing down vegetation that looks less like a lawn and more like a scene from “Jurassic Park,” a string trimmer just isn’t going to cut it (literally). You need steel. And Milwaukee is here with not one, but two perfect attachments: the Quik-Lok Reciprocator and the Quik-Lok Brush Cutter. The reciprocator is essentially high-powered scissors on a stick. Instead of a spinning blade, it uses two 9-inch reciprocating blades to cleanly snip through dense vegetation. The beauty of this tool is its control; it minimizes thrown debris, making it perfect for cutting near fences, delicate plants, or anything you don’t want pelted with shredded branches. It offers a hefty dose of finesse for heavy-duty work.

The brush cutter? Yep, it’s a serious time saver. With its 9-inch, 4-tooth blade spinning at up to 6,200 RPM, it makes quick work of thick brush, saplings, and even some small trees. The blade is durable and reversible, so when one set of cutting edges dulls, just flip it for a fresh set. It’s well-balanced on the powerhead and works best on the high-speed setting. Battery life is decent at 30 to 60 minutes depending on what you’re cutting, and the optimized guard design keeps material contained instead of launching it into orbit.
