Milwaukee 49-16-2740 QUIK-LOK Rubber Broom Attachment

Key Features

23 Inch SweepThe wide 23 inch clearing path helps move more mulch, gravel, and loose debris in each pass, so you spend less time walking the same area twice. Rubber Paddle DrumThe optimized rubber paddle design is built to clear debris on grass without the aggressive action of a hard bristle or metal setup, which makes it a better fit for material movement on softer ground. QUIK-LOK System FitThis Milwaukee rubber broom attachment connects to the M18 FUEL Power Head with QUIK-LOK, so one power head can run multiple outdoor power tool attachments.

Overview

The Milwaukee 49-16-2740 M18 FUEL QUIK-LOK Rubber Broom Attachment is an attachment for Milwaukee’s split boom outdoor power head system. This is a rubber broom attachment designed for moving loose debris across grass and similar surfaces. Model Number: 49-16-2740. If you need to pull mulch, gravel, and other loose material off turf without grabbing the ground too aggressively, this is the attachment in the line built for that job.

What matters most here is how it works in the real world. Milwaukee gives this unit a 23 inch clearing width, which lets you cover a broad path with each pass. The drum uses optimized rubber paddles instead of a cutting head or hard sweep, so it is better suited to material movement than trimming or edging. That makes it a practical choice for property maintenance, cleanup work, and restoring grass areas where loose material has spread out of place.

The Milwaukee 49-16-2740 M18 FUEL QUIK-LOK Rubber Broom Attachment is built around the M18 FUEL Power Head with QUIK-LOK, and Milwaukee says the gearing is optimized specifically to manage the cordless power head’s RPM output for this attachment. In plain terms, that means it is not just a drum stuck on the end of a shaft. The attachment is tuned to work with the power head so the broom can move debris effectively while staying within the performance range of the cordless system.

Milwaukee also focused on durability and containment. The protected drive shaft is there to better handle drops and storage conditions, which matters on outdoor power equipment that gets loaded in trailers, leaned against walls, and used in rough weather. The guard design is optimized for material containment, helping keep debris directed where you want it instead of flinging it everywhere around the work area.

From a handling standpoint, this is a full-size attachment at 48.75 inches long and 16.2 pounds. That size gives you reach and working width, but it also tells you this is a serious attachment, not a lightweight toy for tiny touch-up jobs. If you are already in the Milwaukee M18 outdoor platform and want one power head to cover multiple tasks, this attachment makes sense because it expands the same QUIK-LOK system instead of forcing you into another dedicated machine.

Compatibility is straightforward. This attachment is part of the Milwaukee M18 FUEL QUIK-LOK Attachment System and is designed for use with the M18 FUEL Power Head with QUIK-LOK. Source data also lists compatibility with Milwaukee power head models 3016-20, 3016-20PS, 3016-20ST, 3016-21PS, and 3016-21ST. That is the key buying point here: if you already own the right power head, you can add a dedicated rubber broom function without buying a separate gas-style machine.

This attachment is best for landscapers, grounds crews, property maintenance teams, and serious homeowners who deal with gravel migration, mulch cleanup, and loose debris on turf. It is especially useful where a standard blower will not move heavier material well and where a more aggressive attachment would be too rough on the surface. If your work is mostly hardscape sweeping, you may want a different attachment style. If your problem is debris sitting in grass, this is the right kind of tool for the job.

Pro Tip

Use this attachment when mulch or gravel has drifted into turf and a blower is not cutting it. The rubber paddle drum is meant for material movement on grass, so it is a better choice than a more aggressive attachment when you want to clean up the surface without digging in.
