The design and construction of this tool are very good, especially the geared drive to the cutter which makes the action SO much easier than my old lever pruner. It is also remarkably long at full extension, giving great access, though watching the branch into the jaws can be quite difficult unless one makes a point of trimming all lower branches first. My only reservation relates to the poor finish of the slot the cutter-actuation tape runs through, which had sharp and rough edges. As a result, the woven tape caught on release, preventing the jaws from re-opening and causing the lower section of tape to come loose and get tangled up. Once those slot edges were smoothed, the tape ran through freely and the pruner worked very well indeed. If it weren't for this flaw (which might have been peculiar to mine), the standard of design, construction and finish would definitely merit a 5-star rating.Read full review

I bought this based partly on Fiskars reputation but principally on the extension length (a massive 4m) my thoughts were that it would probably be unusable at that length but maybe ok at about 3m. To my surprise it worked perfectly at full extension very easy to cut up to 3mm branches even at full stretch. The biggest problem was getting the cut angle right at full height, you need to keep adjusting the head angle so you can see the blades properly. Although very light you do need to be fairly strong to use this for any length of time as your arms quite quickly begin to ache. All in all an excellent product, very well made and easy to use.

I'm 65 and not as fit as I was. This is light enough to use at full stretch and I can reach almost everything without having to drag a ladder about. Small twigs are very easy. It is harder to cut the maximum 32mm ones, but it can be done. In common with others, I find the blade hard to see, so will be painting it bright orange.

I bought this to trim a shrub that's about 20' tall and had grown all over the show. The branches I've been pruning are more twig like mind so haven't use it for thick branches yet. The extension length on this is perfect for my project! It's very easy to use and light weight. Thanks
