Pole Pruners
December 15th, 2006 . by kent
Uses:
- Pruning hard to reach branches and stems
Pole pruners usually include a typical anvil or bypass pruner to slice through branches or stems that are out of reach, plus a pruning saw. These tools are handy, but make sure you aren’t stretching too much to reach the branch. If you can barely reach where you want to cut, try using a ladder to get closer so that you can make a cleaner cut.

Garden Loppers
December 15th, 2006 . by kentIf you have trees and shrubs in your landscaping, you should consider purchasing some pruning tools. These tools will help you to prune and shape your trees and shrubs. For example, garden loppers are used for:
- Thinning out trees and shrubs
- Cutting thick branches
- Pruning
Loppers are basically designed like garden pruner, but with a larger diameter cutting blade to cut large branches, and a longer handle. The longer handle will give you more leverage when cutting. Many gardeners recommend bypass loppers over anvil loppers as they generally cut cleaner.
