Amazon.com Product Description
The Fiskars pruning stik is a lightweight, multipurpose pruning tool with the ability to trim tree branches up to 12-feet tall without needing a ladder. The pruning stik features Fiskars' PowerStroke sliding-grip cutting action that lets you prune by simply sliding the plastic grip (or pulling the orange ball end), which engages a chain and spring that snaps the blades closed. In addition, the cutting head rotates 240 degrees to give the user the best pruning angle. The replaceable Xylan-coated blade is ultra-hardened to stay sharp all-season long, and it offers a cutting capacity of 1-1/4 inches. Weighing less than 2 pounds, the aluminum handles are durable and light, and their length allows you to reach high branches, and remove growth at ground level while standing. The pruning tool comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

The answer to my prayers
This pruning stick is the best thing to come along in a long time. I had been trying to figure out how to prune our big Rhododendron bush without ruining its shape, but no matter how I tried, I just couldn't get at the top. This stick allows selective pruning while on a ladder or from the ground. It is lightweight and comfortable to handle. Definitely well worth the price.

Favorite tool in the shed!
I can't say enough good things about this tool. I've been through traditional "pole pruners", but this is the next generation. It's strong and sturdy. This pruner uses kind of an internal chain (like a bike chain) rather than a rope, as is used on a traditional pruner. You won't fight a streching cord while cutting, you'll have the strength and stability of the chain. It also has two handles for cutting. The obvious pole handle, but also a knob at the end of the stick that pulls out of the handle and allows cutting. It provides added reach. If you need a pole pruner, this is the best I've seen...any other pruner is just a waste compared to this one.

Pruning Without Stilts
At 5'3", I've always had trouble pruning trees and bushes that were just out of my reach. Standing on a step-stool in the garden not only was inconvenient, but not very safe, either. Now that I am 55, my hands are beginning to show the effects of arthritis, too.

I read about this pruning device in one of my gardening magazines and decided it was worth a try. WOW! What a pruner!

Not only does it allow me to prune branches up to 1-1/4" in diameter that are out of my reach, the mechanism doesn't hurt my hands, either. What a smooth and effortless cut!

I would recommend this lifesaver to anyone who is seeking a better solution to what seems like a full-time garden job.
