Pros & Cons

Pros

You just have to be mindful that there is a ribbon (that has its own channel, so it doesn't flap about) that goes from the pull handle to the cutting head. It's very sharp. There's a slide handle a few feet from the bottom that works the cutter.

Adjustment is super easy and takes seconds. They use a simple throw lever to loosen and tighten the adjustment. I like that this uses a strap and it goes up to 12' i think.

It's not professional quality, but for typical homeowner use it's more than adequate. The quality is exceptional. It is as good as advertised.



Cons

Shipping


Completed my project prior to the contractors arriving


On a trip there a month before they were ripe i noted the amount of green fruit and knew i had to find something that would all...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Yet the packaging on the end of the pole is ridiculous to open

Second as mentioned in another review it is difficult to remove the packaging from the head

Competitiveness


No other pruner compares to the versatility of this pruner
