These are cordless electric pruning shears with a brushless motor and SK5 steel blades, rated to cut branches up to about 1.4 inches. The trigger does the work that manual loppers ask your forearms to do, which matters if you have arthritis, a large hedge, or an orchard. Two batteries ship in the box, so one charges while the other works, and a safety mode requires a double-pull to start so it does not fire in a bag. The blades are replaceable and the kit includes a sharpening file. Best fit: fruit trees, grape vines, overgrown hedges, and anyone who has been putting off pruning because their hands are done after twenty minutes.
Pros
- Cuts up to about 1.4 inches on a trigger pull, no forearm strength needed
- Two batteries included, so one charges while you keep working
- Brushless motor and SK5 blades, which is a step above the entry-tier pruners
- Double-pull safety start so it will not fire accidentally
Cons
- It is heavier than a hand pruner, so a full day of light snipping is more tiring than it sounds
Frequently asked questions
How thick a branch can it actually cut?
Around 1.4 inches on green wood. Dry hardwood at that diameter will strain it. Treat the rating as a green-wood maximum, not an everyday working size.
How long does a battery last?
Typically a few hours of intermittent pruning per battery, and two are included. Continuous cutting at maximum diameter drains it considerably faster.
Can the blades be replaced or sharpened?
Both. A sharpening file is included, and replacement blades are sold separately. Sap buildup is the more common cause of poor cuts, so clean them after each session.
Is it safe around kids or in a shared shed?
It has a double-pull safety start and the batteries are removable. Pull the battery when you store it, same as any powered cutting tool.
