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.
