Milwaukee Shears Pruning BRUSHLESS M12 2534-20

This tool is a beast, little on the heavy side but if you can fit a branch in the jaws it will cut itGreat for trimming trees, be careful it will cut off anything you put the jaws aroundI love it great tool

Useful tool. Powerful. Make sure you operate safely as it is powerful enough to cut off a finger easily.

Have a few Milwaukee and this one is a good one.

This is a solid little Milwaukee tool and works GREAT! I have very good hand strength and have no trouble using manual shears to cut most medium to largish branches, but this really speeds up pruning work. I used it to cut a pile of tree trimmings to fit into my green waste container. The pile was big enough that I had to cut the branches into very small pieces to get it all to fit - I'm talking a few hundred cuts to reduce it all to 4 to 12 inches long sticks. Not having a mulcher/chipper available (which obviously would have been the best tool for the job), I started into the pile using my small Milwaukee M18v Hatchet chain saw, thinking it would be more efficient to cut through hand-held bundles or twigs and branches. Some of the smaller branches were causing more chain bucking than I was comfortable with, so I switched to using these shears to cut through one to five or six at a time depending on thickness. I used a freshly-charged 6Ah battery, and after probably 45 minutes of constant cutting it was still indicating a full charge. I don't think I would use these for delicate pruning as they don't provide nearly the sensitive feel of sharp Fiskars or Corona bypass shears, but great for cleanup jobs. With the positive comes the caution, which in this case is you really need to be deliberate with your handling and fully alert to avoid amputating a digit . Because they are SHARP - as they should be (Duh!, I know). The only negative for me, and it's very minor, is near the end of the work it was getting dusk (I wanted to get the bin to the curb for morning pickup), and the little white LED on the nose, that faces upward for some reason, became a little blinding. Having it shine down toward the working part of the blade would be an improvement. Or maybe only work in the light?

This is the highest quality shears we have used to date! Cuts great and the battery lasts for a long time!

This tool feels very well-made and has an abundance of power. Be very careful operating it if fingers or anything you don't want to cut is present. I've only used it for two days, but the battery life is excellent. It's not overly loud and cuts like fury. Knowing what I know if I didn't have one, I'd buy one. After a month of REALLY using this tool I can say it will transform an ordinary yard husband into "Edward ScissorHands". I can't speak to longevity yet but in the first month of heavy use, it's terrific!

Strong jaws- easy to use. Safety switch a little awkward, but when you get use to it seems fine. Safe to use- How did I do without this tool? I bought one for my mom too, which helped with her arthritis and difficulty squeezing conventional pruners.

Been using for a few months to a year now, this is an absolute beast. Yes its expensive but all good tools are expensive now.
