KSEIBI 143010 Long Reach 3.5 ft (1.0m) Cut & Hold Bypass Pruner - Lightweight Aluminum, Rust-Resistant, Ergonomic Grip, 1/4" Max Cut - Ideal for Precision Gardening & Pruning

This is the best tool for people with bad backs…i love it. It is great for small debris garden clean up or small branches just out of reach. I used it to cut back all my wintered over flower stems and it did a great job…..I would recommend and buy again….

As advertised. I'm not doing reviews for Amazon since you require me to log in as well as answer the same question over and over. If you want me to review anything, remove the requirement to log in, and ask me ONE question, not 10.Thanks, Jack

So far so good.

I use this tool almost daily. It is great for trimming tall weeds and small limbs. It is very easy to use. I love it!

Great. I bought the five foot and seven foot.

UPDATED: changed my 5-star review to a 1-star review because it is so infuriating that this awesome product that could have lasted a lifetime is now rendered a useless pile of junk because they chose to make a critical part of handle out of plastic. (see photo)The pole is already made of aluminum and the blade and cutting mechanism out of steel. Why can't they make the handle (or at least the critical parts of it) out of metal too?This critical piece of plastic snapped off one month after my return window closed. INFURIATING. I HATE PLASTIC tools!-------------------Original review:Should have bought this many months ago. I would have avoided so much pain and suffering.This thing is ideal for cutting some difficult plants with thorns and spines, because you do not even get close to the plant AND you do not have try to pick up or catch the dangerous thorny, spiny clippings.This works very good on Dwarf Date Palm fronds and Bougainvillea thorns. Works well reaching up and down.I initially avoiding buying this because it was not some well-known brand, which was a huge mistake.This thing is the real deal...genius! Thank you for making it, I will definitely injure myself a lot less now.

This a handy tool for pruning branches up to 5/16 of an inches depending on the type of wood.

I have some hardy Kiwi plants growing on a pergola over my deck. They send up lots of canes and need to be pruned at least 3 times a year. Getting a ladder out and having to move it around to reach all of them was a real pain. With this device, I can reach much more from one spot and it saves me a bunch of time.The power for the device is good for cutting the soft canes, but as the description indicates, it can't handle anything hard or beyond 5/16 thickness. The trigger mechanism has too much flex in it and you can't get enough power to the jaws to close it. Since this is noted in the capabilities of this pruner, I'm not taking any stars off from it.The gripper to hold the branch that you just cut off is nice, though it does make you pay attention to the orientation of the jaws. There are times where it is awkward to flip it around so the jaws grip the side you cut rather than the side towards the plant.
