Milwaukee 3004-20 M18 Fuel Hatchet 8 Inch Pruning Saw

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 3004-20 is the M18 FUEL HATCHET 8-inch cordless pruning saw built for professional arborists, landscape maintenance crews, and power utility linemen. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor maintains cutting speed under heavy loads without bogging down, delivering output that competes with 25cc gas saws. REDLINK PLUS Intelligence provides full-circle communication between the tool and battery for consistent performance and protection. The saw reaches full throttle in under 1 second and includes a variable speed trigger for precise control across the full power range. At under 5 pounds without a battery, the compact frame improves maneuverability in tight access areas.

This pruning saw is designed for demanding field use in residential and commercial tree care, landscape maintenance, and power utility line clearing. The 8-inch bar length handles hardwood cuts in overhead and confined positions where larger saws lose practicality. The cordless M18 FUEL platform eliminates fuel mixing and cold-start delays, making it well suited for repetitive daily use on job sites where setup time and fatigue matter. Professionals who work at height or in restricted canopy positions benefit from the reduced weight and compact profile.
