I had an old set of carona pruners but they gave up the ghost years ago so got another pair and there not the same , intact there pretty crap

[Rich Rule]

I use wolf garten Ian.

 

Got a saw head and a clippy head for the pole.  
 

The clippy head is the one where you can adjust the angles.

Same as Rich Rule. Wolf Fatten stuff is reasonably priced and decent kit.

Then the poles are another £55 but I mounted mine on the park set of poles.
Every thing is replaceable on the head from the blade to spring and it has the largest diameter cut I’ve found on a pole pruner.

The fiskars up86 is good for the money and fairly light

I’ve been using the Stein Rhino for a few years now. It’s capable of large cuts, is well made, and I’ve used it up to 30 feet on sectional poles. Just need to extend the rope, and wrap the rope once around the pole to prevent pole flex. Generally used at much shorter lengths tho.

At work we have Wolf Garten too, borrowed clippy head with angle change and to be honest prefer the straight one as it's lighter and seems easier to aim, maybe that's just what you get used to.

I need an upgrade so will have a good look at the Bahco, they usually make decent enough stuff.

Used all sorts over the years but I settled with Wolf. Nice and light, cheap to replace, and loads of attachments
