This M18 FUEL Power Head, part of the M18 FUEL QUIK-LOK Attachment System, is compatible with multiple split shaft attachments such as an Edger, Articulating Hedge Trimmer, and String Trimmer attachment.

Pole Saw w/ The MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL 10 in. 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Pole Saw with Attachment Capability (Tool-Only) The MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL 10 in. The batteries last long enough that when they die, it’s time for a break to rest my arms! Otherwise, the saw has worked well for me and I’m happy I bought it. It would be more efficient to have a slotted hex head bolt and then just use a screwdriver for both operations. Thus, I need 2 tools to to service the chain. The bolt has a hex head, the screw has a slotted screwdriver head. There is also a screw that is used to adjust the tension on the chain. There is a hex bolt that holds the plastic cover in place that covers the chain and sprocket. ![]() The second issue is I have is a minor one. I know there would be a packaging issue with a 7’ or 8’ pole. A redesign to have just a solid, aluminum pole instead of the 3 steel poles would take care of the flex issue and the weight issue. Now, with the added flex of the tubes, I have to put pressure on the poles to have the chain cut well. Normally when cutting limbs, there isn’t much pressure needed on the saw chain to cut. Granted, the saw still works but it is no longer stiff like it was when new. I wish I could post video to show how much. As a result, the connected poles, no matter how much the plastic connectors are tightened, now have a lot of flex in the overall length of the saw. What has happened now is that (I believe) the rivets holding the male portion of the threaded connector to the steel tube have come loose. When new, that connection was stiff and kept the overall pole saw very straight. (See photo) The sliding female portion threads over the male portion and squeezes against the metal tube to create a rigid connection. The male portion of the connector is (I believe) riveted to the steel tube. Because the tubes connect, there are plastic threaded compression connectors that join the sections together. The section tubes are metal which makes this very heavy after a while. First off, this is a LONG tool when all 3 sections are connected. I bought the pole saw almost a year ago and it’s worked well for the many limbs on my property. Right off the bat, I am a big proponent of Ryobi 18v tools and I have a lot of them. ![]()
