Milwaukee 2636-20 – M18™ 14-Gauge Double Cut Shear
The Milwaukee 2636-20 is a cordless 14-gauge double cut shear designed for cutting sheet metal with high precision and minimal distortion. This tool features a brushless motor, inline wrist design, and a 360-degree rotating head to support controlled operation in both straight and contoured cuts. Compatible with all M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery packs, it delivers consistent cutting performance in commercial and industrial applications.
Application Suitability
Designed for cutting 14-gauge mild steel and 16-gauge stainless steel. Common applications include HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, panel fabrication, and metal framing systems. The double-cut configuration removes a thin strip of material, minimizing edge deformation and heat buildup during operation.
