With the four pound Long-Reach Lopper and Pruner, the cutter head can be extended to 9 feet from the scissors-type handles, allowing the user to reach limbs up to 15 feet off the ground. The Lopper's carbon-steel blades cut through limbs 1.5 inches in diameter. The equally lightweight Long-Reach Pruner that can be extended to five feet from the trigger-type handle, allows the user to reach branches up to 10 feet off the ground. The carbon-steel-blade pruning head has a 1/2-inch diameter cutting capacity plus a cut-and-hold feature so the pruned portion (e.g., blooms) will not be further damaged.
