You can cut high branches without the hassles and dangers of using a ladder, make low cuts without sore knees from kneeling or back strain from bending and easily reach into dense, prickly shrubs or tight spots. The rope-free design means you can use both hands to maximize your power and accuracy, and an easy-to-grip sliding handle makes the pruning action smooth and simple. An actuating ball at the end of the shaft lets you reach even farther and still prune with precision, and the cutting head rotates up to 230 to let you prune at tough angles. With our Pruning Stik Tree Pruner, there’s no cut that’s out of reach. Customer Reviews By James L. Dooley: If you have many young trees as I do and require pruning every other week, this is for you. I am very pleased with this product... I am a Fiskars guy..... They in my opinion make some of the best products. However, this is for medium work, not heavy 3" or above branches or limbs. If you require a more heavy duty, try the next step up... it is on Amazon. Hope this helps. By Don Weldon: This is one of my favorite garden tools. It allows me to avoid lots of ladder and pole saw situations. After much heavy use, the spring on my Stik stretched, and I received a free replacement. After much further heavy use, the strap failed, and I promptly received a free replacement Stik by way of easy online application. By Suzanne Van Cleve "Suzanne": This product is perfect if you need to trim trees that are up to 6' taller than you are. I was impressed by how well this tool cut through my palm trees, and it was pretty easy for me as a female to exert enough pressure to do so. Saved me $200 on a tree trimming service and I'm delighted with my purchase. By larry: I recently purchased a Fiskar Pruning Stik to reach areas that I could not reach with my garden tools and I didn't want to stand on a ladder. I have been very pleased with the Fiskar Pruning Stik. It is very sharp, very light in weight, it can be extended to varying heights, it has a rotating head that enables me to cut above, on the side, and below limbs. I have been very, very pleased with my new Fiskar Pruning Stik and I recommend everyone purchase one. By HaveSomeTimetoJustRead?: I have owned three or four of this same model pruner and literally worn them out. very satisfied with the product itself.
