If you deal with metal cutting on a regular basis—whether for HVAC, roofing, or fabrication projects—the Milwaukee M18 Cordless 18 Gauge Double Cut Shear (2635-20) can help streamline your work. It’s currently on sale for $203 (down from $249), giving you a solid discount on a dependable cordless shear that can handle a wide range of sheet metals and steel gauges.

Because it runs on Milwaukee’s M18 battery platform, you won’t be fumbling with cords or hunting for outlets. That portability can be especially handy if you’re often switching locations or working around large sheets of metal. The tool’s double cut design removes a thin strip of material as it slices, helping you maintain clean edges and reducing the likelihood of warping. This is a big plus for finishing tasks and projects where precision matters.

The shear’s ergonomic grip and balanced design aim to reduce user fatigue during longer sessions. Meanwhile, the lower-profile head gives you better access in tight or awkward spaces. For anyone who’s been stuck cutting with manual snips or standard saws, the jump to an 18V cordless shear can save a ton of time and effort. Simply slip in your M18 battery (sold separately) and you’re off to the races.

When it comes to build quality, Milwaukee tools are known for standing up to regular, demanding use. This model includes a variable speed trigger that lets you match cutting speed to different thicknesses and materials, making it versatile enough for jobs ranging from ductwork to metal studs. If you already use Milwaukee’s M18 system, adding this shear to your kit can help you get more out of your existing batteries and charger.
