Telescopic Tree Pruner


As I have said previously, I am a big fan of Fiskars products.
They are made in Finland from top quality materials.
Best of all they are not made in China.
I am a person who has learnt from his mistakes and I now will only purchase quality garden tools.
I have had enough ‘lemons’ in my time and do not want any more.
My tools get a lot of use, with over 70 fruit trees than need pruning I need garden tools that work and will not break down on me.
One of the best tools I own is the Fiskars universal telescopic tree pruner; I have had this tool for about 10 years and have only just had to replace it.

For those hard to reach places it is wonderful with a telescopic reach of about 6 metres (depending on your height).
The actual pruner extends from 2.4 to 4.1 metres.

The pruning head is adjustable, so you can angle it to suit your cut.
All you do to prune a branch is slide the orange handle or pull the end knob; it’s safe, fast and so easy to use.
I have seen copies of this tool at Masters Hardware (made in China) of course, I would not touch with a bargepole.
This is a great product and one I can highly recommend.
