Telescopic Tree Pruner 6M/20FT Professional Telescopic Pole Saws Extendable Pruning Saw Gardening Landscaping Branch Saw Lopper Tools with Blade Saw and Nylon Cord

Product Information

Some telescopic/extendable pruners are manually powered. They have a ‘squeeze’ handle that causes the blades at the top to close and cut. As long as the blades are sharp enough, this shouldn’t be too hard on the hands. These manual pruners are usually best suited to cutting fresh, live stems/branches as opposed to woodier ones. They’ll work best on bushes, hedges and small, young trees. They’re chrome-plated and made from carbon steel, resulting in a high-quality tool that can comfortably cut branches up to 6 mm. In some instances, the blades can cut up to 10 mm. The pole is extendable from 130 cm to 200 cm, and is suitable for both mid-range pruning, and cutting higher up. 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. Prune your tree branches and straggly high bushes safely with a long reach tree pruner. The products in our review are in a range of prices and extendable lengths to meet most people’s needs, from gardeners with just a few trees to look after to professional landscapers. Whether you choose to lop off your branches or to saw them, do it safely.

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. To make it easier to cut stems that are in awkward positions, the top section of the pruner can be adjusted through different angles. It’s therefore simpler to reach specific branches and stems. The cutting head also rotates, to help create precise, well-positioned cuts. The idea is that when the sharp cutting blade slides past the flat, blunt counter blade below, the blunt side may crush the part of the branch it’s pressing against, while the sharp slicing blade wont. If the part of the branch being cut off get crushed a bit, then it won’t matter, as it won’t be attached to the tree and will be thrown away. Here’s the completed tree, pruned down to around 2m (6’) high, a much more manageable and very productive height for home garden fruit trees. The blade is made from alloy steel and has sharp, solid serrations. There’s 4 cutting angles to choose from depending on what you are cutting and at what height. There’s no bypass mechanism. Instead, the branch is held in place while the two-way blade produces a smooth and clean cut.The cutting mechanism is geared to provide additional mechanical advantage, making cutting up to 3 times easier than with standard mechanisms, allowing for effortless and exact high-level pruning. To highlight the design improvements in the Fiskars UPX82 PowerGear X Tree Pruner, I compared it to the previous version of the longer, extendable model, the Fiskars UP86 Tree Pruner Universal Telescopic Wand PowerReel – 115560 1000598, which is well used and still going, but can use a good clean after a decade! It’s a good quality machine, and comes in three separate pieces to allow the length to be adjusted. The handle attaches to the end of one section, the saw to the end of the other, and then there is an additional extension piece. This pruner can be used without the extension, and will measure approximately 1.8 m, or with the extension, measuring 2.7 m. Nevertheless, it’s a powerful tool and can be invaluable whilst pruning bigger branches – it’s just a case of making sure you can control it properly.

PowerGear X Telescopic Tree Pruner (UPX86) | Fiskars

The Draper Expert Telescopic Tree Pruner is a quality garden tool at an affordable price. It’s built with professional gardeners and landscapers in mind as well as the average domestic gardener. The previous generation of Fiskars tree pruners were excellent tools, and the company’s continuous innovation has made them even better. The Fiskars UPX82 PowerGear X Tree Pruner met my expectations of what I look for in a quality tree pruner, and even exceeded them. This is a fantastic tool, and it comes highly recommended! Just for the sake of size comparison, I leaned both the longer and shorter versions of this pruner against the wall, and the size difference is phenomenal! The long, extendable pole pruner at its shortest, collapsed length is 2.4m (8’), compare to the shorter fixed length pole pruner which is a mere 1.65m (5.5’). Incidentally, the new updated model is available both lengths, choose whichever length is more suitable!

Telescopic Handle Darlac Expert 4.9 Metre Extendable Pole – Telescopic Handle

Other pole pruners use an external rope attached externally to the cutter head to activate the blade, which can tangle in branches, and requires one hand to hold the rope, leaving only one hand on the pole. With a rope-free design and a sliding handle on the shaft, this allows for more precise two-handed control and more power when making the pruning cut. They are also fairly comfortable to hold, although noticeably less strong when fully extended. There’s a comfortable non-slip foam grip at the end and in the middle of the handle, so it can be operated with two hands.Fiskars UPX82 PowerGear X Tree Pruner, a super-sturdy and lightweight, ergonomically-designed pole pruner for easy cutting in all directions For those who wish to orient their bypass action pruners the ‘right way’ when pruning, with the bright orange jaw, it’s really easy even high in a tree where visibility is not the best. 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.

Fiskars FSK1023624 PowerGear Telescopic Tree Pruner UPX86 - FFX

With an adjustable handle that can extend from 2.4 – 4 m, this pruner is the longest model featured on this list, and one of the best telescopic tree pruners for reaching higher branches in treetops. Combined with arms-reach, it will be able to access branches approximately 5 – 6 m high. The chain-drive gearing provides maximum cutting power, allowing for a 3x greater cutting force to be exerted by the blade. This pruning tool also comes with a good quality blade cover so you can protect the blade from damage when not in use. There’s an orange non-slip base at the end of the tool which allows for a better two-handed grip, but it does more than serve as a gripping surface. To further extend teach, it’s possible to hold the pole pruner near its base. But if you we that, how can we reach the sliding handle midway along the shaft you may ask? Looking at the other side of the cutting head, we can see the bright orange blade support which increases the visibility of the blade when it’s high in the tree amongst leaves, making it easier to locate the jaws of the cutting head around a branch.The presence of a motor increases its weight, so it’s not the lightest pruner at 3.8 kg, but there is a shoulder included to help make it more manageable. Whilst the strap does help to some extent, using the RPP750S still requires a fair amount of upper body strength. In the picture below, we can see that the newer model (at the top of the picture) has a larger plastic body attaching to the shaft, and the long orange blade support which helps place the blade onto high branches and see where the blade will make the cut from a distance away. Any durable tool with a long life can be repaired to extend its serviceable life, and that’s possible with spare parts. The cutting head moves up to 200° to adjust precisely to strangely angled branches. What’s even better, though, is that you can adjust the angle from the ground without having to bring the entire pruner down to ground level. If you also want to use the pruner for some close-range jobs, make sure that its non-extended length is manageable. Extendable pruners tend to be over 1 m long even on their shortest setting, so there may still be jobs that will still require a pair of smaller hand pruners.
