Really good pruner

Reviews: Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik

I'm pleased with this. I'm 66 years old and a cancer survivor so don't have the saying power of some people. Have found this very easy to use. It is a little heavy for me when fully extended but not so bad I can't use it. One thing I learned is to adjust the head so I make square cuts to avoid any hang up from the branch starting to fall and binding the blades. Used this to trim limbs over my electric pasture fence while driving my tractor so my Tractor ROPS bar now clears the limbs. If the jaws fit around a limb you can cut it without a terrible amount of strength. I bought this to trim some tall hedge bushes along the edge of my yard and it worked well for trimming the tall tops. Have used the saw (3 inch limbs) and it cuts fine if you let it do the cutting and take your time. Used it to cut some woody stemed large weeds on hard to navigate banks too. Over all a very handy tool.
