This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. I wanted to fit a catchy title in, but there was barely room to squeeze in all the tools and accessories for this review (AND giveaway)! If you have ever been annoyed with having to buy an entire arsenal of dedicated outdoor power equipment tools, Milwaukee has a new Quik-Lok system that aims to simplify your life. While you can get started with just the main power head and string trimmer, you can also order the Quik-Lok edger, pole saw, and hedge trimmer. An extension pole is also available, which comes in very handy with the pole saw and hedge trimmer, or if you’re 10′ tall can don’t want bad posture when whacking weeds. Also, one very lucky Home Fixated fan will win the entire set of Milwaukee Quik-lok tools covered here. Read on for our review of the Quik-Lok system Milwaukee sent to us, and for details on how you can get a chance to win a brand new set for yourself. Read More

If you’re getting ready to tackle a garden or landscaping project, read on to get the scoop on the most essential landscaping tools to maximize your results and minimize the anguish. Read More
