Fiskars 9634 Power-Lever Bypass Pruner Review

Fiskars 9634 Power-Lever Bypass Pruner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pruning is a snap with these pruners by Fiskar. I lost a lot of my gripping power in my pruning hand due to an injury and I have no trouble using these pruners. For larger limbs reaching the cutting capacity of this pruner, I simply begin the cut and rock the cutters as I squeeze, I also like the way they fit my small hand which is not to say that large hands would not be comfortable too. I love these pruners so much that when I lost my first pair, I did not hesitate to replace them with another.

The Fiskars PowerLever bypass pruner features Fiskars' patented PowerLever technology, which increases cutting power by 35 percent. The slim, but strong tool will fit nicely into an apron or pants pocket when not in use, and can easily cut branches up to 3/4-inches in diameter. It sports an ideal blade length for precision cutting and maneuvering through dense growth, aEuropean grip design that's sized for both small and medium hands, and a handle design that allows for both left and right-handed use. The blade includes a locking mechanism that helps prevent accidents as well as provides for easy transportation. Additionally, the bypass pruner allows for precise, clean cuts as the hook contacts only one side of the cut, causing less plant damage.

WOLF-Garten Tree Lopper 7201004 Review

WOLF-Garten Tree Lopper 7201004
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
1) The lopper cuts clean and effortlessly
2) The plastic pull handle supplied digs too deeply into the pull cord and is a chore to disengage although the manufacturer describes it as a "quick release" handle, I got so fed up with it that I switched over to the wooden handle from my Sears Craftsman pole pruner to the Wolf-Garten and ditched the Wolf-Garten handle.
3) One of the plated pivot bolts on the lopper started corroding badly within only a few months. I have been in constant contact with Wolf-Garten USA in trying to obtain a replacement and after several months am still awaiting the replacement bolt. They are quite frankly not very responsive and parts are as scarce as hens teeth.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own this & find it very handy-but it has its problems. Right now I'm replacing it because the gears stripped. It's rated for branches up to 4" diameter but my advice is to use it on nothing larger than 2"-or else support the branch while cutting it. Unsupported branches can be expected to sag & pinch the blade. If the branch is heavy enough this pinching will stop the blade & the gears will strip. The cost of replacing the gears is essentially the same as the cost of replacing the entire unit.

If you prune only a few branches a year, this may be adequate. Anything more, you will be screaming with each use. The cutting mechanism gets jammed with each pull of the rope. The saw blade attachment is not very sharp, and it takes forever to cut a small limb. The pole is too whippy and difficult to control. Get something better for your arms' sake.

(More customer reviews)
Ordered this product on the assumption that it would actually cut small branches and aid in the pruning as advertised. This product comes without a rope needed to operate the pruner...no big deal. However once the pruner is installed and you try and use it, it's essentially worthless. Won't cut hot butter. Total waste of money. Wouldn't cut even the smallest of branches under 1/2''. Would not recommend this piece of junk to anyone. The pole saw works well for the money. Don't throw your money away on Pruner Head11 Red. Hope this will save someone a headache. Gave this item NO STARS as it's totally useless.

Fiskars Green Thumb Tree Pruner (93936993) POLE NOT INCLUDED
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently picked up this item at my local hardware store, and found it extremely lightweight. The Fiskers pruning blade is very SHARP. Extending the pole to its max did not stress the fiberglass pole one bit. But like a fiberglass fishing pole, it did create some BOUNCing action while sawing. None the less, the job got done! Suggestion, after you are done pruning, give it a spray with Pam Cooking Spray then store. I also found the branch shears very useful for those limbs less than 1" in diameter. One pull on the rope cut these little guys with ease. However I would want the rope attached to the shears a little shorter.

Corona Clipper TP 6850 14-Foot Compound Action 1-1/4-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner Review

Corona Clipper TP 6850 14-Foot Compound Action 1-1/4-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the 3rd or fourth tree pruner I've owned, and I'd never get any other. I have previously used and wore out a gas-powered and an electric drive chain pruner. This Corona is batter than all of them.
The extra length of the pole is critical. With this pruner I can reach all the tree limbs I used to get from standing at the top of a ladder and then using a pole pruner.
The blade is incredibly sharp. It cuts straight through branches that my power pruners used to wheeze and struggle with. Using this Corona is also faster than any other pruner I've had. I think that's also a result of the sharpness.
The chain pull-mechanism (as opposed to a rope and pulley) works beautifully. I expect that's another component in why this is easier and faster to use. Once in a while, the chain loops around itself and jams, but that's rare, and is probably a result of the way I manipulate the pruner around branches.
I am a VERY heavy and high volume user of pruners. I wear them out, or they fall apart, or their motors burn out. But not this one! There's no sign of wear and tear. I recommend this tool to anyone who is serious about trimming and pruning their own trees.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
(Helpful? Not? Please vote, so I know someone is reading these :^) First of all, this is *not* a professional grade tool. It is neither as powerful nor as rugged as the truly industrial-strength brands. It's basically a Poulan Weedeater (think Wal-Mart) with a saw attachment (think Lowes/HD). Professional grade tools come from Outdoor Power and your local saw shop or your local mower shop. This is for you and me to use a few times per year, so's we don't fall off a ladder with our regular chain saws, not for tree-trimmers who would use it every day.
Secondly, you MUST keep your saw sharp, and you MUST know how to execute cuts to keep from binding your saw. It's this simple. No amount of complaining or money spent on more expensive models will save you from yourself. For this, I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Now, here's the good news ... there are websites out there that will show you the way to make the most common cuts. How to under cut first, where to watch the limb/tree to know to retract *before* you're in a bind. Secondly, Oregon Saws offers a free document on their website on how to sharpen a chain saw.
This little guy can neither be set up too "hungry" nor can you let it get too dull, and expect any sort of good results. This tool is meant for a very specific job, and not really anything else. If you're using it to make even small firewood, you're testing it's limits, though, I'm confident I could make a little firewood with it if I had to. It would be slow-going compared to my traditional saws. Likewise, blazing or limbing or pruning trees with my traditional chainsaws is no fun when compared to the extended reach of this little guy. There's a tool for every job, and most importantly, there's a way to properly use, service and maintain every tool. It's not rocket ... uh ... surgery ... or anything, but it will take about 30 minutes of your "hobby-time" to read up on what it takes to make a saw cut, and then confidently execute a cut well. There is nothing wrong with this tool ... much like there is nothing wrong with my golf clubs ... :-)

I gasped when I first saw the price, but after reading many excellent reviews, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the 20 ft Hayate pole saw.
The day it arrived, I couldn't wait to try it - WOW! I cut 4-5" branches, hanging over my home with very little effort. I am in my 60's and was concerned about the weight, but this saw has been a pleasure to work with. I feel safe, standing on the ground and find it very easy to prune large limbs.
The silky people stress, "let the saw do the work". This saw works on the PULL, not on the push, which makes is effortless.
Although this is probably designed for professional arborists, if you have a lot of trees and wind/ice as I do in New England, buy it!

State-of-the-art, heavy-duty, aluminum telescoping pole saw - The pole saw of choice by professionals. Thick aluminum alloy extension poles are oval shaped, providing precise control over the direction of the blade (especially important for high cutting) thus reducing bending to the minimum. The base pole has a pole-end shock absorber and comfortable rubberized overgrip. The 16-21/2-inch curved blade utilizes proprietary Silky MIRAI-ME (Smooth Cutting) Technology. The precision-ground, razor-sharp, super-aggressive teeth with four cutting angles provide extremely fast cutting action. The taper-ground profile reduces drag and directs more usable energy to the cutting edge. The blade features a replaceable lower sickle for small branches and undercutting bark. Hayate is manufactured with high visibility colors and comes equipped with a new advanced design sheath with a built-in carrying handle. It is ideal for pruning large branches at a higher position without ever climbing a ladder. This is the strongest and fastest telescoping pole saw available on the market today. Made in JapanManufacturer Warning: Do not use aluminum telescoping pole saws around electrical power lines or equipment. Electrical shock may result.

Fiskars 9394 12-Foot Extendable Pruning Saw Review

Fiskars 9394 12-Foot Extendable Pruning Saw
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I replaced my Home Depot pole saw/pruner with this Fiskars model. What a difference some thoughtful engineering makes.
(1) Pole Does Not Bend: The pole does not bend even when extended to full length. Nothing is more frustrating than having the pole bend and bounce out of the cut when it is fully extended.
(2) Locking Mechanism: On the HD pole saw the extension is "locked" with a compression collar. This design does not work well when it gets wet and loses its gripping power over time. The most powerful cut is the down stroke and on my HD brand saw when the collar slipped the pole simply came apart. On the Fiskars the lever-clamp clicks into the locked position and the clamping power can be adjusted with a screwdriver. The pole never came apart during use.
Save your time and a return trip to HD with this extremely well made pole saw!

Fiskars 9301 Power-Lever 14-Foot Tree Pruner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I went looking for a pole saw because branches were rubbing on my roof and hitting my gutters. I found a few at a local hardware store, which the salesperson described as hard to use, then he tried to steer me toward buying either an electric or gas-powered pole-mounted chainsaw. I don't trim trees often, so I wanted to avoid the expense of and maintenance on a chainsaw. However, the manual pole saws they carried were all a brand I had never heard of, heavier than I wanted, and priced comparably with this Fiskars, so I decided to buy it from Amazon. I was pleased that this saw was significantly lighter, and that the replaceable Woodzig blade is an aggressive cutter -- it doesn't require a lot of weight on the blade, although I found a rapid jab-tug worked best to keep branches from swaying back and forth. I also debated buying the model that's just a saw, but having the pruner for smaller branches (which aren't stiff enough to saw efficiently) is well worth the extra money and weight. I haven't used this tool long enough to speak definitively about how the extension lock holds up over time, but I found it easy to use and it did not slip. This tool was much easier to use than expected, and I have no doubts that the decision to order this model rather than what the local store stocked was a good one.
I also want to make an observation based on other pole saw reviews I've read. I've read complaints about blades binding and how dangerous falling branches are, leading me to suspect that people were sawing on branches directly above them. That's not how you should use a pole saw; you should extend it so that you're standing off to the side and cut on the top of branches rather than their side. This technique results in the weight of the branch opening your cut rather than pinching the blade, and when the branch falls you aren't underneath it.

I bought a Fiskars 6' pruning stick had had terrible time with it and bought another one and it went back also. I then bought the Corona 6' Power Glide stick Pruner and I must say it is the best of the 2 by far. Corona pruners and trimmers have been the best graded garden tools for a long long time. I never should have doubted there reputation and instead of buying a sleek and cool looking fiskars pruning stick I should have just bought the one brand that makes the best tools. I have about three (3) pairs of Corona trimmers in my shed and I have one of my grandfathers Corona trimmers as well. Do yourself a big favor and bypass the sleek looks of the Fiskars pruners and buy the best and stick with a company that has been the staple brand for landscapers, yard men, Nurserymen, and horticulturist for decades. I am a professional Sharpener and I mostly sharpen Knives and Scissors but in the spring I sharpen pruners and lopers for a lot of professional nurserymen as well a regular homeowners. I also sell knives and scissors and I have to tell you that after Fiskars bought the Gerber Knife and tool company the quality took a nose dive and now I refuse to sharpen any Fiskars or Gerber product.

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik
Average Reviews:

This pole pruner performs excellently.
I found the following features to be especially useful:
- rotating head, allows easy cuts of branches at different angles.
- no additional rope to pull, makes for easy cutting and handling.
- saw blade is sharp and it also allows user to change the angle of the blade so that you can saw more efficiently.
Features I wish it had:
- the ability to cut more than its 1 & 1/4-inch cutting capacity.
- when using the saw blade, the FULLY extended handle flexes a bit more than I prefer.
Overall this telescopeing pole pruner is excellent.
I have been using mine regularly to prune trees for over a year and it still cuts as sharply as it did on the first day.
By the way, some reviewers mentioned that the packaging was poor and they got a damaged product, they must have ordered it early before the new packaging was incorporated. My Pruning Stik arrived in good condition, it had a thick supporting cardboard piece to ensure the long box did not bend.
