so spring has sprung here in devon and the ideal machine to get your garden looking amazing is a
multi-tool system we have the quick lock attach system from milwaukee
and we're going to see how we get on with it let's crack on
so milwaukee have been making some massive strides in the op market yes in the garden market they are
bringing out tools left right and center and we are going to be seeing a lot more from them
i guarantee the multi-tool isn't a new type of machine to the market but milwaukee have done a
really really good robust job of building it so what do we have we have the motor unit which is
fairly standard on any other multi-tool it's got a three-stage trigger it's got two speeds which is
nice so you can control it depending on what job you're doing and it's got an adjustable handle
and it's got the quick lock attachment system which is what they've called it that is generally
normally my pe hate of being able to attach multi-tool attachments in so in a minute we'll
see how good this one is because some of them just slot in some of them don't it works with
all of your m18 batteries that you already have or if you haven't already got them you can choose the
right weights and sizes because obviously you're using your drill batteries or your other power
tool batteries in this so compared to other brands on the market it might actually make it lighter so
that's quite an interesting point so what else do we have we have the streamer head with a rather
large guard on not sure if i like that we'll find out in a minute what that's like it looks
more like milwaukee got the people to design that the same as captain america shield rather
large we'll see if that makes a difference or whether it's a hindrance that's to play with
the edger edging is great a lot of people think legend isn't really necessary but when you start
using it and you realize how good they are great bit of tooling that is the hedge trimmer probably
one of my favorite bits because long reach hedge trimming makes such a difference it makes cutting
hedges much easier without having to use a ladder and obviously the pruner the pruner is a very
very versatile easy to use tool and for people who don't really like chainsawing that's a great piece
of equipment because at the end of the day it's about six feet away from you so you haven't got to
worry about what that's going to do and how what things are going to happen and then we've got the
extension yes it's a three-first extension to be able to use on the hedge trimmer and on the pole
saw i don't think you're going to need it on the strimmer or the edger but we might give it a go
right let's get on and use them because that's what it's all about let's go and try them out see
if they're any good first up is the strimmer yes the streamer attachment with this great big shield
we're going to see if it makes any difference to using it with the big shield on or whether it
doesn't we've got here the multi-tool power unit with the 8 amp hour battery in it and the one real
nice thing i think about all of the multi-tool attachments is it's got this little bit here which
is a hook so you can actually hang up your multi-tool attachments in your garage
really really good touch i like that a lot other manufacturers should jump on board
with that right to let's see how easily it joins into the attachment so there all you
do is line it up make sure your wing nuts undone and then slot it in nice hard push straight in
do that one up and then to undo undo it press your button
and pull it out nice and easy right let's crack on and do some strimming
hmm i'm quite impressed with that right let's do some edging let's see how wonky
my straight lines really are we all know very wonky milwaukee gasketed safety glasses
of course nothing but the best on our website hayesmachinery.com let's go
that's not too bad without drawing that first i'm quite pleased with that
hey i'll tell you what my straight lines are going bear i think it's more luck and judgment
right another long one
it will i tell you what that's wonky that's right
that is really really simple really easy and that's going to make that veg bed look so so
much better pull those cloths out so we've got to do now let's go around and pull all this out
you know i mean and you just end up getting a really really nice edge do some proper weeding
make sure you get the roots as well obviously not like i'm doing here just doing it roughly
nice tall right so that was filmed using at the full depth but obviously you're not going to
want that all the time so i'm going to do a bit against the path now which i have no idea where
the edge is so this could be fun and that's down on probably the lowest setting give that a whirl
so now wave lawn has grown in over your path you should just be able to literally go down
through there and pull that out nicely end up with a really nice straight edge look at that how easy
it literally peels away wow i didn't even know my path was that wide just follow the blade along the
edge all the way down through wicked love that it's come to that point in our video where we

comment so yeah good luck for the next one so it's time to put a little bit of an extension
on this video yes the extension shaft it's three feet we're going to use it with the pole saw let's
clip it together and do some cutting let's do that click the clack so i don't drop it boom i've got
chain oil in the end of it there's chain oil in it already it came actually in the pack talking about
the pack it took me about what 40 minutes to put everything together it does come individually so
if you didn't want everything you can just buy it as a pulse or an extension or just as a streamer
or however you want to do it or add things on gradually as you you know grow your range of
milwaukee because you know once you bought one you just want to keep buying it right listen
time to do some hedge trimming let's clip that on go from there it's got a nice little pulley
pulley thing here let pull that swing out around i like that better than those clippy things on
the top nice touch yeah i do like that it's nice and easy it does go in really really well
off a little bit of an angle there we go sides first
so
that's right that will so the milwaukee quick lock attachment system otherwise known in the
ope world as a multi-tool am i impressed i am because multi-tools are much of a muchness from
wherever you get them from and i was expecting this to be a little bit underpowered why because
most power tool brands come in the op market it just seems a little bit not quite there but this
is brilliant it did not lack power as you could see the strimmer in the long grass out by the road
it just at through that no problem at all there's even some periwinkles there which he cut through
it didn't even falter really really pleased with that the edger went through the wet clay soil
didn't even falter with there up against the path as well very very impressed with that the hedge
trimmer yes i use that in the top speed whereas if i was using it in beach or something else hard
woody i'd probably use it in the single speed just give it a little bit more torque to get through it
very impressive that though that was very very good the extension very useful in both tools
you know even when i had the extension in the hedge trimmer up above my head it still wasn't
that heavy compared to other brands on the market so i was quite pleased with that yes i'm six too
and i can probably manage something above my head where some people possibly couldn't very impressed
with that very very good and the pole pruner well that just chomped through the wood like any other
chainsaw would go through that so no very very impressed as a full set there isn't one tool there
which i'm disappointed with so well done milwaukee please subscribe to our channel please become a
