MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee® continues to advance solutions for sheet metal professionals with the introduction of the M12 FUEL™ 16 Gauge Scroll Shear, delivering precise, debris-free cutting performance in a compact, cordless solution. Designed for HVAC, mechanical, and manufacturing professionals, the new shear addresses common jobsite frustrations by combining tight-radius capability, clean cuts, and precision control in one solution.

Delivering debris-free radial cuts, the M12 FUEL™ 16ga Scroll Shear produces clean, burr-free results without leaving behind chips or shavings, helping users maintain jobsite cleanliness and avoid costly rework in sensitive environments. By eliminating debris, this solution is well-suited for installed ductwork and finished spaces where cleanliness is critical. The scroll shear’s ability to execute tight-radius cuts allows professionals to complete detailed work more efficiently without reverting to manual tools.

Milwaukee’s M12 FUEL™ 16ga Scroll Shear provides the power to cut 26-gauge spiral duct seams with confidence. This cordless solution delivers performance comparable to corded competitors, giving professionals the ability to work faster across 16-gauge Mild steel, 16-gauge aluminum and 18- gauge stainless steel. This added capability reduces reliance on hand snips and increases productivity in real-world jobsite conditions. The blades of the Scroll Shear are four-sided and require routine rotation to maintain performance. Once all sides have been used and are dull, Milwaukee will also offer the M12 FUEL™ 16 Gauge Scroll Shear Replacement Blade Set for purchase.

Providing variable speed and precision control, this Scroll Shear features a 5-mode variable-speed dial and additional Auto-Load mode, allowing users to adjust speed in real time for maximum accuracy and productivity. Providing precision and control, the M12 FUEL™ 16ga Scroll Shear makes tight ½" radial turns. The compact, lightweight form factor improves maneuverability and access in tight spaces, while enhanced control supports more precise cuts, even in challenging positions. Together, these features help users achieve consistent, high-quality results while reducing fatigue throughout the workday.

The new  M12 FUEL™ 16 Gauge Scroll Shear joins the M12™ Cordless System, the largest sub-compact system on the market, focused on delivering industry-leading durability and the power to complete applications in the tightest spaces. Currently, the M12™ System is made up of more than 150 solutions.

*M12 FUEL™ power tools are designed, engineered, and built to deliver extreme performance and productivity. All M12 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations—the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M12 FUEL™ tools are the most powerful sub-compact cordless tools in their class.
