Milwaukee just added five new outdoor hand tools to its landscaping lineup, the brand’s first real push into non-powered yard gear. Two pruning saws, an angled pruner, a 1-1/2 inch lopper, and a hedge shear start rolling out in June 2026, with the hedge shear following in July. Prices run from $29.98 to $89.98, putting them in the same range as Silky, Corona, and Fiskars at the pro-landscaper tier.
Milwaukee’s gardening story has been battery-first: 18V string trimmers, 40V mowers, M18 chainsaws. But landscaping crews and homeowners with a single overgrown maple don’t always want to drag a battery out for a 90-second cut. The bet here is that they’ll pay a small premium for hand tools that match the red color of their M18 kit.
The Full Lineup
| Tool | Model | Price | Available |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7″ Folding Pruning Saw | 48-22-9373 | $29.98 | June 2026 |
| 10″ Fixed Pruning Saw | 48-22-9374 | $39.98 | June 2026 |

What the Tools Actually Do
The two pruning saws are the workhorses. The 7-inch folding saw (48-22-9373) at $29.98 has a hollow-ground blade for reduced friction, cuts up to 4-inch branches, and folds for storage. The 10-inch fixed saw (48-22-9374) at $39.98 cuts on both the push and pull stroke, with a chrome-plated SK5 carbon steel blade. Both target the same use case as Silky and Corona folding saws, the brands arborists already trust.
The angled pruner (48-22-9378) at $54.98 has a low-friction coating and an angled head for overhead cuts. The 1-1/2 inch lopper (48-22-9379) at $89.98 uses 20-inch aluminum handles to keep weight down, with rubber bumpers that absorb shock. The hedge shear (48-22-9382) at $79.98 lands in July with stainless steel blades and a notch for thicker stems.
Where Milwaukee Fits
Pricing is competitive with pro-tier brands crews already use, not hardware-store imports. A Silky Zubat folding saw runs $40-50; a Fiskars PowerGear2 lopper is $50-70. Milwaukee’s lopper at $89.98 sits at the high end, but the build quality and limited lifetime warranty make the math work for crews already standardized on the red platform. The play is brand consistency: a landscaper with a truck full of M18 fuel and PACKOUT can now grab a Milwaukee pruning saw without breaking the visual lineup.
