Product Information

There are also pruners on the market which extend further, up to 4m, and are ideal for taller trees.

The internal rope pully system is what assists with closing the blades and causes them to cut. Instead of a squeeze handle, which is what many other tree pruners have, this method is easier on the hands. It’s quite a revolutionary way of cutting, and sets the Fiskars pruners apart from others on the market.Derek has real-world tested 61 products for DIY Garden, and is one of our most experienced testers. The models that we tested extend to varying lengths, from 2.6m to 4m – the shorter your pole is, the easier the saw will be to manoeuvre, so don’t go for a longer length unless you know you’ll need it. They come with a 330 mm saw which gives the user extra cutting power on larger branches, although it’s worth noting that this saw is a little weak and not particularly effective. The saw also occasionally gets caught on branches and needs to be removed. As the aluminum pole is oval-shaped, you have a very precise control over the direction of the blade, something you will need when pruning at great height. Moreover, this shape gives more strength and rigidity over the full length of the pole saw, and reduces bending to a minimum.

Pole saws usually run on either petrol or electricity, with the electric machines powered by either mains electricity or batteries. The lopper comes with a three-metre lightweight aluminium telescopic handle which has a PVC sleeve for extra comfort. It is the only telescopic tree pruner in our review that has an anvil-style lopper. This type of cutter crushes the branch so don’t expect a clean cut. This anvil tree pruner cuts branches up to 38mm in diameter which is 8mm more than most other models.It’s also very easy to use. At 7.5 kg, it’s reasonably weighted, although even this will start to feel heavy when used for long periods at full extension. It comes with a shoulder strap that takes some of the weight, but you may still find it difficult to control.

The Hayauchi will be delivered with a tailor-made plastic cover that protects the blade. The cover has two notches so that the pole saw can be hung up. I liked the fact that the pullies and mechanisms were all internal. I’ve used loppers before where the rope has got tangled or frayed and the mechanism dusty and dirty; this won’t happen with this tool.In terms of design, it boasts a couple of impressive features. It has an extendable pole which can be continuously extended, so you can get it to the exact height you need. The maximum length is 1.82 m. It’s also equipped with a high quality laser-cut steel blade, and the chain can be adjusted without the need for tools. One other issue is that the cord isn’t quite long enough when the handle is at full extension, so you may need to lengthen it if you’re regularly pruning at full extension. It only extends to 2.34m (7.64ft), and the average user will only be able to reach around 4m (13ft), which might not suit every garden.
