Not sure whats up with bad reviews because my experience has been great and to the point where this tool is essential to getting my jobs done faster. I am a HVAC professional and have used this religiously for over 4 years in duct work installation and it has paid for itself many times over because I can do my work in a fraction of the time versus standard snips and no hand fatigue. I did break the blade once but it was my fault for cutting mutlti-layered sheet metal that I shouldn't have. I have nothing negative to say and honestly couldn't imagine ever working without it. Also one reviewer mentioned replacement blade cost as being astronomical which also wasn't my case. I don't remember exact price but as I recall was less than $100 and well worth it. If it stopped working tomorrow I would not hesitate to rush out and get a new one!

I do love the design of this tool, But...
I am owner/operator of a small Steel Erector Company, We use this Kind of tool pretty much daily.
1st off, I love the body design (& and that it's Milwaukee. Go RED!.This last one I bought, had problems straight out the Box. I was unable to cut anything, Even after tightening them down as much as possible. The blade was still very loose. (I was a little confused)
So I took it upon myself to see what was going on, and took the head off and Disassembled it, turns out the "1n 42-40-0528 Spacer Bushing" Was too long in the middle area, which is Why I was unable to tighten them to where the blades were touching.
PRO's: It has a great body design
CON's:
• I don't like how much movement the head unit has while cutting (its because of the rotating head on it. Just wish there wasn't any play (movement) in the rotating head, makes it hard to cut in a long straight line.
•It really need an integrated spot to keep the hex wrench that comes with it.
This hurts to say but, their yellow competitor has a better singlecut Shears, (as of now) IT too, has its flaws. But, in my line of work the Milwaukee 18v Single-cut Shears, Is not the best I can get.
