Transform tedious, high-fatigue landscaping work into a fast, effortless task with the Milwaukee® M12™ Brushless Pruning Shears. Specifically engineered to meet the demands of professional arborists, landscapers, and agricultural workers, these cordless shears deliver the brute power to slice cleanly through thick 1-1/4” branches. By handling the mechanical force internally, they reduce physical muscle effort by a massive 75% compared to traditional manual solutions, preventing hand cramping and repetitive strain injuries during long workdays. What sets these shears apart is Milwaukee's advanced Active Blade Control technology. This system forces the high-strength steel blade's movement to exactly mirror your trigger pull, giving you proportional control over the cut width for maximum safety and precision. For smaller stems, the built-in mode select board allows you to lock the blades into a half-capacity cutting stroke—boosting application speeds by 40%. Built with a slim, ergonomic grip and an optimized inline body design, these shears provide excellent visibility and structural accessibility inside tight, tangled brush. Running on the versatile M12™ battery platform, they deliver up to 1,000 clean cuts per charge through 1/2” material when paired with a compact CP2.0 battery pack.
