This tree pruner has a good long handle (4 metres) so with suitable ladders and your own reach has a very acceptable long reach for pruning tree branches etc. Introducing the Fiskars FSK1023624 PowerGear Telescopic Tree Pruner UPX86, a versatile tool that is perfect for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Draper is a well-known budget tool manufacturer, and I’ve tested many of their products over the years. After conducting an analysis of hundreds of reviews and ratings online, Daniel selected the Gardena Starcut 410 Pruner for testing over a four-day period in June and July 2022. I would't have attempted to do half the willows or other trees without it and would have had to pay a contractor instead- or risked serious injury!I would highly recommend it if you have tall, but still young enough, trees to cut or keep in shape. This pruner is designed to provide an extended reach for cutting fresh wood up to 32mm in diameter, making it an ideal tool for maintaining tree crowns and dense bushes. It’s worth noting that powered tools like this will never reach as high as my best pick, the Gardena Telescopic Pruner, for one reason – the weight of the cutting mechanism. Extending and collapsing the pole couldn’t be easier; I just opened the lever, slid the inner pole to the desired length and then closed the lever. High-quality steel blades have friction-reducing PTFE coating that lasts longer, even under heavy use.

I'm only cutting upto 4" with mine and I think it'll be just as fast as a sthil as its not heavy or as bulky plus no petrol !

If you have trees, bushes or tall shrubs in your garden you’ll know that pruning the branches back and keeping them in check can be a pain.

This suits my requirements perfectly, and although somewhat more expensive than other makes it is well made and cuts branches very easily. It doesn’t have a saw attachment, and in fact, the head can’t be changed at all as it’s fixed in place. We’ve only used it to trim a few things so far, lovely smooth action and good quality piece of equipment. These tools make light work of tall tasks and you won’t have to go anywhere near a ladder or risk a fall. The battery-powered Greenworks pruner was highlighted based on its specifications and online reviews.This impressive reach means you can trim overhead without the need for a ladder, or at ground level without having to bend or kneel, making your gardening tasks easier and more efficient. With this lopper you can certainly reach high branches (up to about 6 metres/20ft) without using a ladder, which saves time and reduces the danger of using a ladder when pruning trees. The Farming and Countryside Director Janet Hughes, the policy lead working on the Sustainable Farming Incentive Jonathan Marsden and colleagues from the RPA will be there to explain the offer and answer your questions.
