GARTOLPruner for Garden, Cut Upto 1/2 Inch & Hold Pole Pruner, Lightweight Fruit Picker with 180 Degree Rotating Handle, Long Reach Tree Branch Cutter with Aluminum Pole, 4.2 FT, Silver

Just fantastic! I rarely write a review this quick but this pruner works beautifully! I Have a small ornamental tree that tops out at about8-10 feet and I normally to to prune with lopping shears of hedge clippers. This tool allows me to selectively prune the branches with no problem and instead of the tree looking all chopped up from hedge clippers or odd shape because I couldn't reach high enough with the loppers, let me trim the tree properly by thinning it out and keeping a natural tree look. I can't say enough great things about this pruner. Having said all of that, definitely don't try to cut any branch bigger than a half of an inch. you will ruin the pruner as the directions state clearly. I tried to get about a 3/4" branch and the head started twisting so I stopped and put my lopping shears on it. Make sure that if your doing comparisons with other pruners that they definitely com with METAL hand level! If these were plastic (with they are not, they're metal) I fell that I would have easily broken them. I highly recommend these for smaller tree and shrub trimming, just wonderful!

Great pruner, it works like a charm. I only wish it were a few feet longer. Well built and designed.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This tool is lightweight. I replaced a tool that required arm action with this tool that has a hand grip activation. The blade is sharp. It’s easy to use . It’s lightweight.. It only got four stars because the lock mechanism is very tight and difficult… it’s basically a screw that you slide up or down… and it does not slide well.I have only had this for a short time. The other thing that could possibly affect my review would be how long the head lasts. AI indicates that there is no mention of being able to buy the heads separately. This is not a tool that I will use every day and hopefully it will not matter. If this were a tool, I was going to use regularly. I would go for a brand that would allow the blades to be replaced.

After years of cutting my Pygmy palms that have spike thorn .and getting spiked in the arms . Finally found a cutting tool that's long and cuts like butter. For the money it's well worth money. Makes pruning a breeze .And it's built very well .

This works great on a tall hedge that you can't reach anyother way. We use a step ladder & with this pruner you can reach the top of hedge. Good product

Easy to use. Not heavy but sturdy, I can use one hand and, it's long enough to cut the branch. The fact that it has that red on one side of the blade, I can see what I'm cutting. The handle is not plastic.

This is now one of the handiest tools in our garden shed. It is sturdy and does a really good job. Highly recommend giving this a try.

This long handled clipper is the best tool ever. I have a hard time bending and this is the only tool that I can use to snip weeds and hanging branches. We live on 15 acres that has a lot of maintenance and this tool is invaluable. I've been using it now for 6 months and it's still going strong. It really does cut up to 1/2 inch branches.
