telescopic pruner

[percy verance]

Hi all.

 

I've been using the Fiskars up86 pruner until it gave up the ghost on me the other day. I have been happy with it but there is no where around me that sells the up86 anymore (4m extendable reach) so I'm going to have to order one off the interweb. Before I do though, can anyone recommend any others. I have been looking at the Gardena or Wolf Garden ones also. I would like to keep the price below £100 if possible.

 

Cheers

Used the wolf for about 12 years.  They are good value for money and the lopper attachment leaves a good clean cut.  Try and get the bypass one if you can, although they are hard to find.  Also invest in the cord tidy, makes a world of difference

Thanks. Do they do an adjustable angled pruning head?

I'd say Wolf garten as well. Several other attachments available

Just found this one that seems like a bargain!

Another vote for the Wolf; been using it for years with both saw and lopper attachment.

I wouldnt go for that one.

 

This is the kit you need, slightly over budget

Or this one on ebay within budget but with the shorter pole

That's spot on thanks Steve. I can also get the groundy to pass my coffee up using the fruit picker
