Questions & Answers

Will it cut cut vinyl siding
ByJul 8, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes — the M18 18-Gauge Double Cut Metal Shear can cut vinyl siding. It’s designed for sheet metal up to 18 gauge, so vinyl (much softer) is no problem.

        Will this work to cut wire fencing and barbed wire for the purpose of removing it from the post and trees etc
        ByDec 24, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hi, Christian. The Milwaukee M18™ 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 18-Gauge Double Cut Metal Shear is designed for cutting 18-gauge steel and 20-gauge stainless steel. While it is optimized for making straight cuts with minimal distortion in sheet metal, it is not specifically designed for cutting wire fencing or barbed wire. These materials often require tools with cutting jaws or blades specifically designed for wire cutting.

          Does this have clearance to crosscut corrugated roofing if you rotate the handle 180*?
          ByNov 22, 2025
          2 Answers | 
          Answer This Question

          Hey, Reed. Yes, the M18™ 18-Gauge Double Cut Metal Shear has a 360° tool-free rotating head, which allows for versatile positioning, including a 180° rotation. This feature provides the flexibility to adjust the tool for various cutting angles, including crosscutting corrugated roofing. The ergonomic design and inline wrist configuration further enhance control and ease of use during such tasks.

            False. I tried it on metal roofing. it won't get past the first rib. it can't bite anything but perfectly flat. this is a useless tool but for HVAC guys cutting ductwork or similar.

              Will this cut laminated glass like a windshield
              ByNov 18, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hey, Bryan. The Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 18-Gauge Double Cut Metal Shear is designed specifically for cutting metal materials such as 18-gauge steel and 20-gauge stainless steel. It is not suitable for cutting laminated glass, such as a windshield. Laminated glass requires specialized tools like glass cutters or saws with diamond blades designed for glass cutting.

                Can it cut small tree limbs? Can blades be changed when dull?
                ByAug 29, 2025
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                The Milwaukee M18 18-Gauge Double Cut Metal Shear is specifically designed for cutting metal materials, such as 18-gauge steel and 20-gauge stainless steel. It is not suitable for cutting small tree limbs, as it is optimized for straight cuts in metal and lacks the necessary blade design and cutting motion for wood or organic materials.

                    Hi, Theresa. Yes, the M18 18-Gauge Double Cut Metal Shear can cut across the ribs of pole barn steel. This tool is designed to handle 18-gauge steel, which is commonly used in pole barn construction. The double cut shear is optimized for making straight cuts with minimal distortion, making it suitable for cutting through the ribs of corrugated metal.

                      not at all. Milwaukee is making a very false claim here. verified. no. it won't cut it at all not even if you keep trying. work harder than hand cutting. wish, pray or curse. it will not cut anything but flat thin metal. and leaves a crazy sharp ribbon

                        worst product and customer service ever!
                        Still a crap product! I bought this a year ago for a project. it cut horribly (when it actually cut). i left a review and was contacted by Milwaukee customer support. after emails with pictures and phone calls i was promised a new tool and additional items. that never happened. i followed up with the original customer service agent. with no response. i then contacted Milwaukee again and talked with someone and again, received NO RESPONSE.

                          Teeth Do Not Open Wide Enough
                          As others have stated, this will not cut 26 ga metal. I bought it to cut tin on my building, but the shear teeth don't open wide enough to get the metal between them. I don't think I could even cut 29 ga with these. I am a Milwaukee fanboy, and these were a complete waste of money. I ended up returning them. I would buy the larger model for thicker metal if I were to try them again.
