Simple to use non-tangle tree pruner
I liked the simplicity of this pruner. You simply slide the handle down to cut and there is also an option to pull on the bottom cord if you need to reach that little bit further. One thing to note is that I had to watch where I held it using the bottom cord as it does also slide the whole handle mechanism quite a long way down the pole so you can end up not being able to cut as your hand is blocking you. I did not find the orange top guide a help and ended up actually turning it round out of the way and it eventually cam off anyway so I had to tighten (or remove) the nut and bolt that it was attached with as it was blocking the cutters. One thing that makes it a lot better than the other cutters I have is the lack of ropes giving it the ability to slide through gaps without getting tangled or the branches blocking the pully mechanism. The closed pole length is a bit long at 2.4m but it is exactly the same length as the other long reach I have borrowed and it is a lot better. I highly recommend this product.
