Deal Details
Home Depot has the deal [homedepot.com] for $249.

If you are having trouble with the link above, try this...

This has a "free gift with purchase" ... the 5ah M12 battery. The deal itemizes the prorated items so you can use the hack. Return this battery for $85.

The M12 pruner with battery and charger is usually $250. This hack brings it down to $164.
For comparison, the tool alone is normally $200. So this is less than the tool alone and includes a 2ah battery and charger.

If you need it now, it's not a great deal. In May 2026, the tool alone was $150.

I think this is a better deal. For $14 more than the May '26 deal you get a 2ah battery and charger as well.

How fast is this? I feel that something like this would be too time consuming compared to a manual shears.

It's decently fast. You can set the jaws to only half open if you're pruning a bunch of smaller branches.

I bought this last year on a tool-only deal for $100. If you have a bunch of brush and trees to clear this will save your hands

I don't have reference on this tool, but I have the Dewalt 20V version of a pruner, aka mafia finger persuader. It makes quick work of branches up to about "thumb" width (sorry), but most importantly doesn't tire your hand out nearly as much. I'd imagine the biggest complaint is the additional weight vs. non-powered pruners, and where the Milwaukee M12 version benefits over the Dewalt 20V.

Just got done using mine for the first time. Bought on this deal.

It is slower than manual for very thin branches. But for most of the branches, especially ones that I would have to use loppers, it is much faster. I really like it.

The printer + 2x5AH batteries was $199 when I got it a couple years ago. Similar deals right now on the stick pump and cutoff tool, so this one may come back around too. The 5AH HO are a good power boost for this tool too.

Just took down a few small trees with a hackzall. Idk what this tooldoes that the hackzall doesn't. For thin branches use normal shears. For thicker branches you can get a clean cut with a hackzall.

Not to mention using this freaks me out way more than a hackzall

I'm 50, when I climb a ladder to trim my queen palm trees, the lack of vibration makes me more secure, as with 1 arm I hug the tree and the other I simply pull the trigger, and yes sometimes it takes 2 or even 3 bites at the thick branch, but for me at my age and being up so high, I prefer it than the vibration the hacksaw creates, BUT I do use the hacksaw or 18v saw on shorter trees. Even to trim down the super long branches, this thing works amazing.. Just my opinion, love it so much I bought 1 for my 80 year old mom that trims her plants.
