Yes, this tool used the M12 lines of Li-ion batteries. I recommend the larger batteries in the line if you're cutting greater than 1" pipes.

Can this be used to cut tree branches? Or is there a Milwaukee tool for cutting branches?
1 answer-
ProductExpert11· 5 years ago
It is not recommended to use the shear for branches. A pole pruner kit model 2825-21PS (item number 73409) would be used for trimming trees and branches.
