GARTOL Pruner for Garden, Cut Upto 1/2 Inch & Hold Pole Pruner, Lightweight Fruit Picker with 180 Degree Rotating Handle, Long Reach Tree Branch Cutter with Aluminum Pole, 4.2 FT, Silver

Easy to use, works great, very sharp. I just wish it was longer, so need to return.

This is a well made tool for cutting small limbs and shrubs. I used it on by holly bushes. Using only a hand pruner, I end up with cuts and scrapes and bleeding profusely. With this 4 foot extension, I can reach all the shrub, cut it to a uniform height, and place it in a wheel borrow with out my hands or arms touching the stick ends of the plant. No more bending over or reaching across the top of the shrub either. I cut the time for pruning in half and was not nearly as tired when I finished. The cutter blade is very sharp and can handle up to 1/2 inch limbs. The cutter head will rotate 90 degrees to prevent me from twisting my hand to get to vertical limbs. The cutter blade can be locked shut easily to keep it safe when storing or transporting it. In summary this is the most usable tool I have purchased lately and I am very happy with it's performance.

Easy to use. Not heavy but sturdy, I can use one hand and, it's long enough to cut the branch. The fact that it has that red on one side of the blade, I can see what I'm cutting. The handle is not plastic.

Glad I purchased this pruner. Well made. Does not extend in length, only as long as it is. Nice and sharp.

pruner works well and is easy to use. I would have given 5 stars but the item comes without any instructions as to how to release the handle grip. Luckily I had an allen wrench that would fit to release the grip. Poor packaging from vendor.
