Telescopic Tree Pruner 6M/20FT Professional Telescopic Pole Saws Extendable Pruning Saw Gardening Landscaping Branch Saw Lopper Tools with Blade Saw and Nylon Cord

Product Information

Here are the before and after photos of my white sapote tree, it was fairly overgrown and well overdue for a good pruning. The height of the top of the canopy was close to the roof guttering and the overhead wires. The pole is very easy to extend to a maximum of 3 m, making this tool suitable for taller trees. The blade can be removed from the handle if you want to use it for handheld pruning.

20FT/6m Telescopic Pole Saw,Telescopic Tree Pruner Pole

The long 47cm blade is curved to reach around the branches and cut sharply. The telescopic handle extends to 2.5m which, when you add in your own height, gets quite high up into your trees. Although this is a lightweight long reach tree pruner, it can feel a little heavy when fully extended as you move it around. Pros There’s an orange non-slip base at the end of the tool which allows for a better two-handed grip, but it does more than serve as a gripping surface. To further extend teach, it’s possible to hold the pole pruner near its base. But if you we that, how can we reach the sliding handle midway along the shaft you may ask? The orange handle midway along the shaft activates the blade, pulling down on the handle slides it down the shaft, closes the blade and makes the cut. You can also buy pruning saws which we talk about here and maybe use with a good quality tripod ladder.

The reason for choosing this particular product to review is that I’ve owned and used the really long Fiskars UP86 Universal Telescopic Tree Pruner Model # 115560 for somewhere close to ten years now, so it’s a quality brand that I trust, but a 2.4m (8’) long pole pruning tool is not ideal for smaller jobs or for use in restricted spaces, so I was keen to try the shorter, non-extending Fiskars pole pruners for that kind of work, and I wanted to see what design improvements they made on an already excellent product. The chain-drive gearing provides maximum cutting power, allowing for a 3x greater cutting force to be exerted by the blade. This pruning tool also comes with a good quality blade cover so you can protect the blade from damage when not in use.

Replacement parts if needed: Spare cutting head UPX86/UPX82 (1026295) and Handle and rope set (1026296) Since the cutting head can be rotated up to 230° to allow for pruning at difficult angles, it can also be folded down flat against the shaft to shorten the overall length of the tool and provide further protection, particularly when the tool is being transported. This Wolf-Garten model uses a 4:1 pulley system which makes pruning larger branches possible without having you use too much effort. The pole that comes with the lopper is adjustable, from 1.7m to 3.0m in length. The Fiskars PowerGear(tm) X Tree Pruner provides an extended reach for cutting fresh wood up to 32mm in diameter. The shaft length is adjustable from 2.4-4m, providing a maximum reach of 6m and a 230 adjustable cutting head. Fitted with durable SoftGrip(tm) handles and a non-slip base with orange cutting support for added visibility. The Stihl Long Reach Pole Pruner is a great product designed for both domestic and commercial purposes. It is a fairly expensive piece of kit, especially compared to manual saw methods in this review and even similar models from other brands but most don’t even come close in terms of build quality and more importantly reliability. It’s worth it if you need a power saw to prune large branches or many trees.The grip at the end of the handle is also an actuating ball which can be pulled to close the blades and perform a cut. This way both hands can hold the pole pruner at the very end for maximum reach, and one hand can pull on the orange handle at the base to work the blade action. Quite innovative! Before and after photographs below show the pruning of a white sapote tree that pruned with just the short pole pruner in minutes! The handle extends from 1.37 m to 2.5 m, so you can neaten up hedges as well as tall trees. Weighing just 1 kg in total, it’s easy to use these pruners comfortably for long periods of time.

Telescopic Handle Darlac Expert 4.9 Metre Extendable Pole – Telescopic Handle

Telescopic tree pruners are relatively easy to use, but it’s still important that you take safety precautions. Even small branches can cause a lot of damage if they fall and hit you in the eye. A handle and rope set, containing the middle and lower handles, and the woven strap cord that actuates the blade is also available. It also features a loop style firm grip handle and features accessible controls so you don’t have to reach far or move your hands to make adjusts to the pruner when you’re in the midst of working.Write: DIY Garden (Harris Creative Ltd), Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA The cutting head moves up to 200° to adjust precisely to strangely angled branches. What’s even better, though, is that you can adjust the angle from the ground without having to bring the entire pruner down to ground level. To make it easier to cut stems that are in awkward positions, the top section of these pruners can be adjusted, giving you greater manoeuvrability and allowing you to reach specific stems. If you also want to use the pruner for some close-range jobs, make sure that its non-extended length is manageable. Extendable pruners tend to be over 1 m long even on their shortest setting, so there may still be jobs that will still require a pair of smaller hand pruners. The previous generation of Fiskars tree pruners were excellent tools, and the company’s continuous innovation has made them even better. The Fiskars UPX82 PowerGear X Tree Pruner met my expectations of what I look for in a quality tree pruner, and even exceeded them. This is a fantastic tool, and it comes highly recommended!
