Fiskars PowerGear X Telescopic Tree Pruner UPX86, Non-stick Coated, Steel Blade/Aluminium Handle, Length 2.4 - 4 m, Black/Orange, 1023624

Product Information

Remember that the further the pruner is extended, the harder it’ll be to control and use safely. Therefore, it’s best to only extend the pruner as far as necessary, depending on the job. To see if it was possible, I completes the whole pruning job, including some very small, precise cuts at the tips of the branches, using only this tool alone and nothing else. Realistically, you could probably make 90% of the cuts in any pruning job with this tool alone, and use a pair of hand secateurs for the finer work. When the extension pole is in position, this pruner can be harder to manage because the motor (and therefore the majority of the weight) is at the far end of the pole. The 32mm 6m Telescopic Tree Pruner FSK1023624 is an ideal telescopic tree pruner for trade professionals as well as DIY enthusiasts. This tool is designed to provide an extended reach for cutting fresh wood with a diameter of up to 32mm. The telescopic shaft length is adjustable from 2.4m to 4m, therefore giving the user a maximum reach of 6m with a 230° adjustable cutting head. The handles are durable soft-grip handles with a non-slip base to ensure optimal comfort and reduced tiring when using the pruners. These pruners adjustability makes them versatile and allows access to tree crowns and dense bushes as well as allowing gardeners to trim overhead without the need of a ladder or at ground level without having to bend or kneel. This is a single pruner, supplied on its own. Product Highlights:

PowerGear X pruning shears for fresh, young shoots, twigs and twigs up to Ø 3.2 cm in treetops and dense shrubs - without the help of a ladder - with a maximum total reach including users of 3.5 m It’s well made and easy to use, even when fully extended. It’s a good bit of kit and the best looper I have bought to date.

One small criticism would be with the number of plastic components on the pruners. Both the extender mechanism, and the cutting head angle adjuster, are plastic, which seems less durable than if all the important parts were made from metal.

The lightweight yet robust construction of the aluminum shaft, coupled with the ergonomic SoftGrip™ handle, provides comfort, control, and a non-slip grip whilst using the tool. Light weight, with amazing reach. It is on the long side, but if you've got tall trees, then this is safer than getting on a ladder with a shorter pruner With a blade that cuts and holds whatever gets pruned, the ARS 160ZP Long Reach Pruner is great for dead-heading, manicuring and harvesting. Instead of instantly dropping the pruned material on the spot, where it will never be found again, the blades allow you to have more control over where it will be placed.

Fiskars FSK1023624 32mm 6m Telescopic Tree Pruner - 1023624

One of the longest pruners on the market the UPX86's extendable shaft reaches up to 4 meters and has a total reach of 6 meters, this tool can eliminate the need for ladders on the job. If you’re after a set of pruners with a simple mechanism, the Sunorchid Telescopic Tree Pruners are worth considering. These pruners have a dual use pruning saw that can be used either for pruning tall trees or as a handheld tool for neatening bushes at eye level. 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. Instead of allowing free adjustability between its lengths, you can only one of three positions: no extension, half extended or fully extended. Therefore, there are some limitations.
