Milwaukee M18 Brushless Telescoping Pole Pruning Shears (Bare Tool)
Product Overview
The Milwaukee M18 Brushless Telescoping Pole Pruning Shears (3008-20) are designed for fast, precise pruning without the repetitive pulling motion required by conventional manual shears. The brushless motor provides the power to make clean bypass cuts through branches up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter, making the tool suitable for professional landscaping, grounds maintenance, and routine tree care.
The telescoping shaft adjusts from 7 to 10 feet, providing extended reach without additional pole attachments. An ergonomic adjustment collar makes it quick to change the shaft length, while the optimized shaft design helps improve control and comfort during overhead pruning.
As a bare-tool configuration, the 3008-20 includes the pruning shears, blade sheath, and shoulder strap, but does not include a battery or charger. It operates on Milwaukee M18 batteries, with Milwaukee specifying up to 2,000 cuts per charge on 1-inch branches when paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 battery.

What's Included
The 3008-20 bare-tool package includes:
1 × M18 Brushless Telescoping Pole Pruning Shears
1 × Blade Sheath
1 × Shoulder Strap
Battery and charger are not included.
Telescoping Reach
The adjustable shaft is one of the key advantages of the 3008-20. It extends from 7 feet to 10 feet, allowing users to reach elevated branches while remaining on the ground. The ergonomic adjustment collar is designed for quick, secure length changes, while the shaft configuration is optimized for handling and control.
Because the tool uses a dedicated telescoping shaft, users do not need to purchase or install separate pole attachments to achieve the full 10-foot length.
Cutting Performance
The powered bypass mechanism can cut branches up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter. Compared with manual pruning shears, the powered design eliminates the repeated squeezing and pulling motion associated with conventional tools.
Milwaukee rates the tool for up to 2,000 cuts per charge on 1-inch branches when paired with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 battery. Actual results will vary according to branch size, wood species, battery condition, temperature, and cutting technique.
Comfort and Handling
The 3008-20 is designed for repetitive pruning work where minimizing operator fatigue is important. Milwaukee states that the tool can reduce peak muscle activation by up to 80% compared with manual solutions. The overmolded adjustment collar and optimized shaft are intended to improve grip, comfort, and control.
A shoulder strap is supplied with the bare tool to provide additional support when carrying or operating the pruning shears for extended periods.
Ideal Applications
The Milwaukee M18 Brushless Telescoping Pole Pruning Shears are suitable for:
Professional landscaping
Tree and branch maintenance
Orchard and garden pruning
Grounds maintenance
Property maintenance
Municipal vegetation management
Seasonal pruning
High-branch trimming from ground level
The tool is particularly useful for branches that are beyond comfortable hand-pruner reach but are within its 1-3/4-inch cutting capacity.
Maintenance and Blade Replacement
The 3008-20 uses a dedicated pruning blade. Milwaukee specifies replacement blade 48-44-2770 and does not recommend using blades from other brands.
For storage, Milwaukee provides a blade-locking procedure: pressing and holding the trigger for at least three seconds and then releasing it moves the blades into the closed and locked position.
Important Battery and Kit Information
The 3008-20 is a bare tool, so a compatible M18 battery and charger must be purchased separately if they are not already available.
For users who need a complete setup, Milwaukee also offers the 3008-21 kit, which combines the 3008-20 pruning shears with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 battery, M18/M12 Multi-Voltage Charger, blade sheath, shoulder strap, and wrench.
Why Choose the Milwaukee 3008-20?
The Milwaukee M18 Brushless Telescoping Pole Pruning Shears offer a practical combination of powered cutting, long reach, and cordless mobility. The 7–10 ft telescoping shaft provides access to elevated branches, while the brushless motor and 1-3/4-inch bypass cutting capacity reduce the effort required for demanding pruning work.
As a bare-tool model, the 3008-20 is especially convenient for users who already own M18 batteries and chargers. Its dedicated design, adjustable reach, high-strength steel blade, and included shoulder strap make it a useful addition to an existing Milwaukee M18 outdoor power equipment collection.
