I've handled all sorts of weapons, heavy machinery and guns over the years but I have to admit that I've never been more cautions of using any of those tools than I am when using these shears - they're excellent but they certainly won't discriminate between a thick branch and a finger. Store safely like a gun is definitely great advice but guns are generally only dangerous to people not using them and that's why I'm 110% focused when using either tool, lol.
Ok, I have 420 muscadine vines and my hands are getting arthritic with the Felco’s. I check Amazon and see 100 brands. Total confusion. Taking your word for it and going with this one. Thanks for the demo!
I bought two pruners only a month apart from each other (not this brand) from a famous Chinese based online marketplace. Why? Because they are so useful and me and the better half can both work fast with them. Agree with your assessment of manual cutters being hard work on the hand muscles after an hour's work! And yes.. you do need to give them some respect and have a plan on using them and stick to it.. Blindly shoving them and your free hand into a bushed area, hoping for the best, and squeezing the trigger is a recipe for A and E.
100% - only people who have used manual clippers long can appreciate how good power assisted clippers are. We just have to remember to be VERY careful with powered clippers as the difference between them is a flesh wound compared to a lost finger.
These are fantastic pruners. They are tough. They are powerful (finger-severing powerful). They are quick. They are durable. And the form-factor is good - no clunky batteries like other brands. Best of all, the price is excellent - easily one of the best value-for-money tools I've ever purchased. They have a nice solid chunky feel - not too heavy though - you forget they're in your hands (too busy zipping thru your pruning to notice - but don't get complacent and get your fingers in the danger zone!) They make at least a thousand cuts before batteries need to be swapped (for most people, even with heavy pruning, is likely days). The ability to change jaw opening size is something you will appreciate - means faster cycle times (will cut as fast as you can position for another cut. Think half a second). They will cut the toughest branches (and fingers) - dead, hard, knots, twisted, no problem. Comes with two batteries, charger, case and some tools. I'm a big fan of these no-name shears. More impressed than many name-brand tools I own. And if you want bigger cuts (45mm vs 25mm) and ability to add a 6' extension, get this guy's commercial big brother. If you have a medium-to-large garden, or have hand-strength issues, look no further. If you're like me, you'll wonder how you got along so long without them.
Theres something satisfying about brush clearing and letting light through. Saving the last bit for now. Ive started dosing melafix btw, aloe vera. Hoping to clear up a cloudy eye
In the U.K. T Tovia Pro is the best. 25volts 40mm cutting diameter. A fully charged battery will give you about a thousand cuts! Don’t go for a smaller diameter. You might regret it. It also comes with an extension pole. Not cheap though but so useful! Mind those fingers!
Kebtek has a commercial 45mm version and 6' extension - and the price is right. They're quality tools for far less - one of the few no-name brands that are worth buying - and no, I have no affiliation with Kebtek in any way. I'm just a fan of a quality tool at an excellent price.
I have another fishing video to edit but I'm not sure it will be up t much as the weather was very poor when I filmed it. It was almost dark too, lol I'll try to get it done before the end of the week. I've also got a video to shoot on the Xreel from Exotac which is an excellent hobo fishing kit.
I'm sure there will be some figures relating to that on the Kebtek website but I've certainly gone through hundreds of branches on a single charge and the battery only seems to lose one light of power. It comes with 2 batteries so a whole day of intensive pruning would be no problem.
Yes, a thousand or more is what I get - usually days before I swap batteries. I doubt you would ever run out of battery since it comes with two batteries. I've never timed it, but think it recharges in about 4 hours.
Could you please do a test on reciprocating saw versus pruners and versus secateurs and mini saws and saws. Brand versus brand and prices Chargers and batteries and hours please Blades can be replaced with or without sharpening blades and interchangeable blades Using on different thicknesses to cut fruit trees and green branches and dead branches on trees and shrubs Cutting roses and anything else in garden with different blades and interchangeable blades. I need it to be very versatile for branches-roses and other things in garden with cordless using the same tool Buying in a package. Is it cheaper to buy it separately with the batteries and chargers Thankyou and you are doing a great job with your work
As someone who has way too many gardening tools, I'd buy a Kebtek cordless shear in a heartbeat. Very powerful. Great value-for-money. They make 25mm (1") cuts with ease (finger-severing ease). And if you make a series of snips, you can cut larger limbs (2-3"). They won't replace saws for larger limbs, but if you're just doing maintenance pruning and have a lot of branches/shrubs/rose canes, this will be a daily tool. For me, while I still carry some good Japanese secateurs on my hip 'just in case', I go days without ever opening them. This has a big brother commercial version (45mm jaw) with an available 6' extension that I'm trying to find a reason not to buy. I have a few tall palms that are difficult to cut even with pole saws.
I am seeing a pattern emerging... first a video ending with a cynical laugh... then one with a "out of the ordinary style" jacket, to blend in with a crowd... now a set of mechanical shears to remove fingers and what-not...
Did you manage to enquire about spares? I love this product but I'm only willing to invest if they sell spare batteries and blades. Great demonstration!
*KEEP TOOL AWAY FROM CHILDREN* Amazon Link: geni.us/Vy8wjC Coupon Code for 10% Off: pondguru10 Should work with Amazon UK, US, EU and JP although I'm not sure how long the coupon will last - hopefully it will work for you after viewing this video. At only 880g the shears certainly pack lot of power into a small package. In the video I show them cutting a wide variety of branches at a range of diameters up to 1" (25mm) and I definitely recommend them.
