I'm a professional gardener and purchased the 40mm model, which handles larger limbs. It took me a few days to get used to just gently pressing the trigger. I bought both extensions -- the one-meter and the two-meter. The one-meter extension allows me to trim large owie bushes without getting injured. The longer one lets me prune fruit trees without a ladder. Wow! One of my B&B clients has a small orchard and this toolset is truly awesome. Thank you for all the great videos. I'm so impressed by your superior knowledge and no-nonsense approach.
I am very tempted to get one of these. We have a whole heap of branches in the garden which we would normally cut up into small pieces to reduce the pile, but I cannot manage them and my hubby is struggling since having cancer. I am freaked out by the fact that they could easily chop your finger off.
I watched the video about a week ago, then bought these, based on what they did for you. Arrived yesterday, used today. I was SHOCKED how well they worked! I have looked at various brands; thank you (from my once strong, now mildly arthritic hands) for the video. PS Having already lost a fingertip to Ryobi grass sheers while holding with one hand and cutting with the other, I make sure my holding hand is at least a foot away at all times!!!
Thank you very much for sharing this tool. I have about 250 feet of lilacs in hedgerows which desperately needed to be pruned. I’m not strong enough to cut thick stems with lopers. I purchased the electric pruners and was able to get 95% of the cutting done.
I kept seeing youtube commericals of this or something similar and wanted someone to do a review. So thank you. I have weakish hands, and this was definitely something that interested me.
I like the red handle bypass pruner and long handled loppers for thick canes. However, I just got a rechargeable, cordless blower and I love it. Not as noisy and no smell. I think the electric is more for pro landscape maintenance. Thank you, Jason! 🌹👍🏼👍🏼😊
I've used one of these (different brand from China, but it looks identical) for 2 seasons of quite a lot of cherry and apple orchard pruning. Much easier than using loppers all day and gives a free hand to either balance yourself off a ladder, or to hold the branch to direct its fall.
Thanks. That's what I find too. I carry my hand pruners with me for the odd snip, but when I go out for a day of pruning, I bring the battery-powered shears.
It's good for you because you're way into all the species genus names etc. I got Eight rose plants out of 300 seeds. ha I'll get more next time. Just a dabble into it. Proud pappa. lol Thanks for the prayers.
Thanks for the demo.. I bought a China supplied one (different battery arrangement - Makita type) a few months ago.. The relatively slow jaw operation is misleading to say the least.. the power of this thing is amazing.. I have hand operated ones and found that although the jaws on that are slightly wider it is no use of solid dry branches and I have a really strong grip. This cordless hardly slows at all with the same branches. As you say.. please keep your fingers from these jaws! We have various pruning seasons here too (England) and whilst the manual cutters work mostly ok, my wife's hands are burning with discomfort after an hour of continuous work, whereas the only effect, using these cordless ones, is a slightly heavier tool. In the end I bought another one so I can have the use of one up in the trees whilst the better half can carry on at leisure further down. A bargain for the price/utility. PS there is a sprung oiler bearing on mine to keep the tool's jaws freely moving. You just press the oil can tip against the very small ball bearing and put a spot of oil in.
I wish it had some additional safety feature but overall it looks useful, in a tight situation where you might not have a good angle to cut from, the space to open loppers, or you just don't have the strength to cut through the branches this would be huge.
Hey Jason, this is my new Nursery Channel 😁 (just getting this channel started) I'm the one you pinned (Heritage Heart Homestead) on your video: First Steps to Start a Plant Nursery (so yes I did get certified in NC on Oct. 1, 2020) Anyway, these pruners look like they do a fabulous job and looking at them function I believe would be a great addition to someone who does a lot of cuttings (hopefully soon I will be, I have a lot of plants that need to be shaped 😁), they looked like they have a decent amount of power and strength. I must say I was very surprised they actually cut through that branch rather seamlessly! Sorry I haven't been leaving comments for you, I have been watching you on my TV and can't comment. Then I end up forgetting to go back to the video from my phone to leave a comment. At any rate thanks for the video I didn't know these types of pruners were even available! Have a fabulous weekend coming!!!
Kingson makes some that will detect your finger and not cut you, similar to the commercial Infaco brand. Please show how you close the blades to store or if that is possible. Thank you!
Thanks Wayne. It's all done on the trigger. A couple of quick taps opens the blade after turning on, and holding the trigger for longer than a couple of seconds holds the blade in the closed position before turning power off for storage.
Who thinks a more fair comparison would be w a NEW HAND PRUNER, i.e.one w a blade just as new as the battery operated one? I’m sure Jason’s pruners are sharpened very well. But, as careful as we are cleaning, lubricating & sharpening our clippers,we’ll never get them as SHARP AS NEW. The bulk’s a drawback; it won’t fit into a gardening carrier.... at least not easily. Also, I’ve bought battery-op tools where the batteries become “unavailable” just 2-3 years from date of purchase? There’s always a “New & Improved” more expensive model to buy again. Still, they look kinda fun. I think I’ll try this device, especially for long stretches of climbing Roses. For sure it’ll be better for the hard-to-reach centers of very sharp, thorny Roses plants. (Just today my hands & arms are scratched-up & 🩸 , from a gorgeous rose, with the sharpest, longest thorns ever). This battery device looks it can reach INSIDE the CENTRE foliage much easier. So yeah... Pretty cool gadget. I’m buying one for that reason alone.
Thanks. The seller let me know that they also have a rod attachment (sort of works like a selfie stick) to extend the reach of the pruners. I'd have to try that too to see if it's worthwhile or just awkward.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Now THAT is great news for scraped-up arms. I AM going to buy one, regardless how often it’s actually used. One more GG .. gardening gadget 😉
Good to hear Jeanne. The seller tells me they have a larger model for thicker branches, and also an extension "stick" for taller cutting. I'll have to see if those are useful - the size of this pruner is about as large as I'd regularly like to handle in the garden.
How have these held up over time? We have battery pruners and they are awesome but weigh about 3 pounds and these pruners you have profiled are about just about 2 pounds. Seems like they would be easier on the wrist and arm over time. We have a small organic orchard in the Interior and use the electric battery pruners for that purpose. Again wondering about the durability.
I've seen wine yard workers use that, they prune the whole day so its usually a real strain on their hands. The average gardener would be better on with manual ones.
Hi, can you tell me what the voltage is on those? My husband wants to get me one and thought a 21 volt would be good, but we can't seem to find any of those online. But the link you've provided is for a 16.8 volt unit. Is that correct? Thanks!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you! I couldn't find the 21 volt anywhere online that we could afford so I ended up ordering the 16.8 volt. It's just me against my 3/4 acres, lots of trees and lots of small pecan trees my Australian husband thought would make for lovely privacy between us and the neighbors even though I kept telling him they were actual trees. LOL When he left the country a couple of years ago, it took me two weeks and 3 hand held clippers and loppers and hatchets to bring it all down. The next year, they kept sending up shoots and I couldn't keep up, and the year after that I spent two days with hand tools and Stump-out. Success! But I'm that much older, my back isn't good, and I want to fight back the encroaching "back forty" of the forest. I won the poison ivy war there, now the green briar is getting its chance along with the brush. With these shears - it's gonna be hasta la vista, baby! It's my birthday and I ordered it a few minutes ago. I can't wait!
La batteria non si ricarica nemmeno dopo alcune ore, ho chiesto una batteria sostitutiva e appena arriva proverò le forbici; mi interessa sapere la durata della batteria e l'apertura reale delle cesoie.
Ligo ones. Just died. Jumping and not cutting. Very disappointed as new this year. Update: gear tooth missing. Snapped off. This on the blade teeth that engages with the rotary drive gear from the motor. Poor quality.

Thanks Mary. And it looks like you're still able to type, so most of your fingers are intact I assume.
When the vid started I thought why would you need that. When you cut the branch off with easy, I thought where do I get one. Pretty cool.
Yeah, that maple is no joke for wood hardness. I should have tried it on the Persian Ironwood tree I have at work!

Looks handy but intimidating. Always make sure you’re aware what is going to be cut.
You bet. I can't help but think how easily it cuts through hard things (like finger joints! Yikes)
