ARS Heavy Duty Pole Pruner (7')

7' MODEL IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICK-UP 6' model ships Canada-wide This is an excellent tool for extending your reach when the ladder won't get you there. Like secateurs on a pole, these long aluminum pruners are ultra lightweight for minimal shoulder and neck strain. We use them for deadheading tall shrubs (think lilacs), for fruit tree pruning, wisteria whips, and many other plants. This model has a bigger, thicker blade, mounted on an angle, and a thicker arm to provide extra strength and durability. The 180-degree revolving arm allows you to maneuver the blade to get the right cutting angle. Bypass blades are replaceable and can be sharpened to keep them in good cutting form throughout your pruning season. They can make cuts up to ¾” in diameter. GARDENER'S KIT TIP: As much as possible, I recommend minimizing the amount of time you use a pole pruner from the ground (or reaching straight up) - save your body and use a ladder to get yourself level with, or above, the branch that you are cutting.
