Pruning Stik® Tree Pruner makes it easy to cut high or low with a level of control traditional pruners with exterior ropes can't match. A long, lightweight pole lets you cut high branches without the hassles and dangers of using a ladder, make low cuts without sore knees from kneeling or back strain from bending and easily reach into dense, prickly shrubs or tight spots. The rope-free design means you can use both hands to maximize your power and accuracy and an easy-to-grip sliding handle makes the pruning action smooth and simple. An actuating ball at the end of the pole lets you reach even farther and still prune with precision and the cutting head rotates up to 230 deg to let you cut at tough angles. The fully hardened, precision-ground blade stays sharp and a low-friction, rust-resistant coating makes every cut easier.
