Ratchet Pruner

A lumberjack would love this pruner. It's the best of the six pruners we tested. We gave our Ratchet Pruner to a professional landscaper to test, and let him use it on the job. He wouldn't give it back. That's not surprising. As a former landscaper, I know that average pruners leave tears in branches that let in disease. Our Ratchet Pruner consistently gave us good, clean, healthy cuts. Equally adept at pruning 7/8-inch diameter green wood or the most delicate flower is what makes this pruner an all-around excellent garden tool. It also makes for a great weapon to combat those errant berry canes, poison oak or ivy branches or other intruders. The efficient ratchet design lets a person of moderate strength cut a 1/2-inch branch with ease. The lightweight, aluminum handles are coated with an ergonomic, non-slip grip and the anvil type blade is made of tough, high carbon steel. Emanuel, our resident survivalist, reported our Ratchet Pruner even came through with flying colors when he used it to gather small wood kindling to build a fire. Weight: 7.4 oz. Size: 8" L x 2.25" H.
