Fiskars Powergear Telescopic Tree Pruner review
OK so I purchased the Fiskars Powergear Telescopic Tree Pruner for $199 Australian when I encountered a hedge that was so high a ladder wouldn’t do the job and because of the confined area and the fact that the hedge was more over the neighbours fence a scaffold wasn’t an option or a cherry picker.
I realised with Long pruners I could remove the selected branches near the top of the hedge. Note this was a tough job and took quite some time. In the end I got the job done and mainly from the ground. I used a hedge trimmer where I could reach and the Long pruners where I couldn’t. I believe these were a very good purchase and will find myself using them quite a lot for high hedges and probably for tree lopping jobs where originally I was using a pole saw.
A few things to mention about using the Telescopic Tree Pruners
- The base handle would be a little annoying releasing itself from the pole.
- The orange protection over the cutting blade could confuse the position where I was cutting.
- The black strap did twist a little when using
- Really long reach
- Quite easy to cut branches but when they where too thick it was hard to cut.
- The pole didn’t suffer much wear even after 11 hours of use… YES this was a big hedge!
