Milwaukee 18V Brushless 8" Pruning Saw 3004-20 — Lightweight, Tool-Only with Automatic Oiler

The Milwaukee 3004-20 is an 18V brushless, lightweight 8" cordless pruning saw built for fast cuts, easy chain care, and secure use in the tree.

The Milwaukee 3004-20 pruning saw pairs a brushless motor with a full-house chain and a compact 8-inch bar to deliver high cutting efficiency in a portable, under-5-pound package. Designed for arborists, landscapers, and property owners who need a nimble, battery-powered option, this model focuses on simple maintenance and on-tool storage so you spend more time cutting and less time adjusting hardware.

How does the 3004-20 make pruning quicker and smoother?

The saw uses a full-house chain and a variable-speed trigger to keep cut speed consistent and responsive to the task. That combination helps the blade bite evenly and reduces vibration for controlled operation during longer jobs.

• Full-house chain for consistent cutting performance
• Variable-speed trigger for responsive control
• Brushless motor for efficient, long-running power delivery
• Lightweight design (under 5 lbs) reduces user fatigue

What features simplify on-the-job chain maintenance?

Milwaukee built the 3004-20 with tool-free service points and visible oil monitoring to make chain care fast and obvious. You can tension the chain quickly and keep it lubricated automatically to prolong chain life and maintain cutting quality.

• Easy access chain tensioner for rapid adjustments
• Automatic oiler keeps chain lubricated during use
• Translucent oil reservoir shows oil level at a glance
• Onboard storage for scrench ensures you have the tool for minor fixes

How does the saw support safe, controlled cutting at height?

The tool includes metal bucking spikes and a climbing scabbard with tie-off points to help stabilize the saw on limbs and secure it while moving in the tree. A lanyard loop accepts a tether for added security when working at elevation.

• Metal bucking spikes for enhanced leverage and control
• Climbing scabbard covers spikes, locks saw, and provides tie-off points
• Lanyard loop accommodates a safety tether when climbing
• Compact 8" bar suitable for pruning and limbs in tight spaces
