GARTOL Pruner for Garden, Cut Upto 1 Inch & Hold Telescopic Pole Pruner, Fruit Picker with Rotating Blade Head, Lightweight Aluminum Extendable Handle for Tree Branch Cutter, 6.23-10.5 FT, Silver

This became my favorite gardening tool. With so many fruit trees in our yard which need trimming/pruning each year I'm glad I bought this one. It replaces pole chain saw, manual pole saw, ladder, stretching to reach a high branches, etc. Very convenient and precise. Whover has come up with the design - thank you!!! You made my life easier.

Love this tool. I can trim the top of my trees, shrubs without having to pull a ladder. My favorite.

Works great, I'm on a walker, makes trimming yard flowers a snap.

I bought this shorter, adjustable trimmer for projects that can't be handled by my longer (and more unwieldly) trimmer.It's solidly constructed. Very sharp. Light weight. Easy to use. Good telescoping length choices. It locks into place easily and doesn't slip. The grip and comfort are just right. I couldn't be more pleased.

“I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! The quality is outstanding, and it’s clear a lot of thought went into the design and functionality. This product has exceeded my expectations in every way, offering a perfect balance of performance, durability, and style.What truly sets this product apart is how well it delivers on its promises. It’s incredibly easy to use, and you can tell it’s built to last. Whether you’re looking for something reliable for everyday use or a high-performing option for special occasions, this is it.On top of all that, the value for the price is unbeatable. It feels like a premium product without the hefty price tag. If you’re on the fence about getting this, don’t hesitate—trust me, you won’t regret it. This is one of those rare finds that ticks every box!”

I’ve bought 3 of these trimmers. One I returned because it came broken and I received a replacement. That’s fine. The other two work great for a few uses, then the metal teeth that allow you to adjust the angle of the blade start to wear down and pretty soon the cutting head flops around and no amount of tightening will keep it in place. The metal is clearly an inferior type that quickly wears down and then the trimmer is worthless. You can see from the photos I’ve included that the teeth on one side are now worn down to be very smooth. It’s a good product but until they make it with a different type of metal it will never last or meet your needs.

Given that when I ordered this item it had the notation “frequently returned item,” and the stated guidelines, I feel obliged to comment. This is a wonderful tool. It is quality built: all metal except for the cut stem gripper and assembled using screws. I am amazed at the inner design which maintains to trigger to blade connection regardless of the length. I got it because I can no longer bend due to a bad knee and needed a flower dead-header at a distance. It is perfect for this and easily retrieves the dead flowerhead. Also great for removing lower leaves from tomatoes. What is now for me a major use is biweekly trimming of the rapidly-growing green shoots of my wisteria, which is attempting to destroy the eaves of my one-story house. I am sorry that I didn’t find this years ago. That said, it is a precision instrument not a massive slugger. The guidelines say: “We suggest you not to cut branches thicker than 1 inch” (sic). I suggest that that is an excessive overstatement, as I would not expect it to easily cut a woody stem more than a quarter an inch in diameter. If you need to cut thick woody shoots get a heavyweight pole pruner or a pole chain saw!! I bet the person complaining about a broken trigger was pushing the limit. As to the closure retainer coming apart, it is constructed using a screw; if the screw loosens, tighten it! Summary: do not push the limit and expect to cut thick woody branches and this will become an important tool in your gardening arsenal.

It's a very useful tool, but I had to keep tightening the screws else they would fall out. Once the screw that holds the rotating pivot fell out it would not work at all. The screw doesn't hold anything together, just the head there to stay in the rotating grove. The threads striped so just had to put clear tape over it to keep it from falling out. I'm very handy capped and use it for weeding while sitting in a chair. It's also great for picking lemons from high in the tree.
