GARTOL Pruner for Garden, Cut Upto 1 Inch & Hold Telescopic Pole Pruner, Fruit Picker with Rotating Blade Head, Lightweight Aluminum Extendable Handle for Tree Branch Cutter, 3.67-5.45 FT, Silver

Given that when I ordered this item it had the notation “frequently returned item,” and the stated guidelines, I feel obliged to comment. This is a wonderful tool. It is quality built: all metal except for the cut stem gripper and assembled using screws. I am amazed at the inner design which maintains to trigger to blade connection regardless of the length. I got it because I can no longer bend due to a bad knee and needed a flower dead-header at a distance. It is perfect for this and easily retrieves the dead flowerhead. Also great for removing lower leaves from tomatoes. What is now for me a major use is biweekly trimming of the rapidly-growing green shoots of my wisteria, which is attempting to destroy the eaves of my one-story house. I am sorry that I didn’t find this years ago. That said, it is a precision instrument not a massive slugger. The guidelines say: “We suggest you not to cut branches thicker than 1 inch” (sic). I suggest that that is an excessive overstatement, as I would not expect it to easily cut a woody stem more than a quarter an inch in diameter. If you need to cut thick woody shoots get a heavyweight pole pruner or a pole chain saw!! I bet the person complaining about a broken trigger was pushing the limit. As to the closure retainer coming apart, it is constructed using a screw; if the screw loosens, tighten it! Summary: do not push the limit and expect to cut thick woody branches and this will become an important tool in your gardening arsenal.

I was kind of sceptical about this pruner when I purchased it. The telescoping, the adjustable angle of the pruning head and the ability for the handle to rotate to further give the user that ideal pruning angle and comfort. All of this had me thinking it's too good to be true or it was going to severely reduce the robustness and durability of this pruner. I can happily report that I've put this pruner to use almost daily for several months now, and it is still working like the day I opened it. Pros: -It like having an extra set of hands up to about 6 feet taller than you. -The cut and hold feature sounds minor, but makes a significant difference during clean up and so you don't end up with the eyesore of dead clippings in shrubs. -Adjustable pruning head, telescoping and rotating handle make it much easier to get a proper cut. -Durable construction, no change or drop in performance after several months of pretty rigorous use. -Sharp blades tackle even dead hardwood with relative ease. -Lightweight Cons: -Once in awhile, when using the telescoping feature, the blade and handle don't 'lock' back together so you need to manually push the back of the blade itself just slightly to 'relock' them together. This sounds like a bigger issue than it really is as this is easily remedied in about 5 seconds. Overall, I'd recommend this pruner to just about anyone and everyone that has plants, shrubs or trees. I enjoy this pruner so much I ordered the longer version of it as well, which is has a fully extended length of over 10 ft. Customer service seems to be good as well, I emailed about purchasing replacement blades to keep spares on hand, and they responded in less than 24 hours.

Quality is good, the only concern I have is the 1 inch limit for trimming. The 1 inch limit means it works on younger trees or areas in the top of trees. It works great in the upper part of established trees but may not work on the lower bigger branches. If that’s not an issue this will be a great trimmer for you. It’s easy to use, quality is good.

The GARTOL Pruner for Garden is an excellent tool for any gardener looking for a reliable and high-quality pruner. The pruner is made with high-quality materials, including a durable steel blade that can easily cut through even thick branches with ease. One of the things I love about this pruner is how comfortable it is to use. The handles are ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, and they have a non-slip grip that makes it easy to maintain control while you're pruning. This is especially important if you're doing a lot of pruning, as it can be tiring on your hands if you're using a tool that isn't comfortable. Another thing that sets the GARTOL Pruner for Garden apart from other pruners on the market is its safety features. The pruner has a locking mechanism that keeps the blade securely closed when not in use, which helps prevent accidents. Additionally, the blade is designed to make clean cuts, which can help prevent damage to the plant or tree you're pruning. Overall, I would highly recommend the GARTOL Pruner for Garden to anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality pruner. It's comfortable to use, safe, and effective, and it's sure to make your gardening tasks easier and more enjoyable.

Broke inside the shaft (cable?) when trimming a branch that was well within its expected cutting capacity. I've used other telescoping pole cutters just like this but without a swivel head and never had this happen before. It failed under the tension of my grip... and I'm not super strong. This product is not worthy... and I won't buy this brand ever again.

I have a wicked blackberry thicket that I’ve been unable to tame. Hubby found this gadget and ordered it for me. It. Is. Amazing! Reached all the dead canes down in there, clipped every dead cane no matter what size. It telescoped to the lengths I needed, and we cleaned the mess in waaay less time than expected.

These pruners were broken when they arrived. When the handle was squeezed the blade would not move. I was going to return them but decided to first look into the problem. Given the simplicity of design, I thought it might be an easy fix. I was partially correct. The failure was where the pull rod connects to the segment that allows the pole to extend and pivot. Unfortunately it was not a mechanical connection that could simply be reattached. Instead it was a very poor and broken spot weld. There’s no reason a decent quality control inspection shouldn’t have caught this. I again thought about sending the back, but instead I just used some epoxy to reattach. I’m sure I’ll have to do it again at some point, but it’s not hard and it allowed me to use the tool, which I really needed. In short, the pruners seem decent, however it’s very frustrating that the company didn’t make more effort to ensure that they one important spot weld in the entire product was done properly. I probably won’t buy from them again.

I bought the pruner for cutting weeping willow blanches that are higher than the hedge trimmer can cut, they hang straight down so they are hard to cut with regular pruners, the pruners work well but they don’t cut any branches thicker than a pencil, the price is a little high for what you get they are light weight feel a little flimsy, I trimmed my tree with no issues but with time I guess I’ll see how well they hold up.

Tolles Gartenset für kleine Gärtner!

Offert pour Noël, Les outils semblent de qualité et robustes (à voir à l'usage). Super motif, les couleurs sont très belles. Le petit moins serait qu'il n'y a pas de housse de rangement. Mais je recommande ++, le cadeau à fait son effet.

良く切れる！色柄が格好いい！

Really good item, good value and does what I expected. The item is well presented and gloves are also provided.
