An item ordered for an elderly gentleman,and he has assured me it has made life easier for him in his garden,he’s able to reach his shrubs to trim with ease.
Decided to buy this as I cannot reach the back of a raised wall bed, this has helped enormously in deadheading roses and other plants that were almost an impossibility before, need something now to help with weeding at back! Highly recommended
This is just perfect for dead heading the plants at the back of my deep flower border. I no longer have to put a foot into the border, whilst trying not to squash a plant, and stretching accross with my secateurs in one hand and the other hand, retrieving the faded bloom. This tool does it all. Nearby neighbour so impressed, I ordered one for her.
Just learn which way up to have it so as to keep hold of the cuttings and light pruning couldn’t be easier.
After 3 years regular use the spring broke so the handle wouldn’t spring back. Spear & Jackson customer services sent a replacement spring within a couple of days. The repair is easily effected with a 10 mm spanner. Tool back in service. Couldn’t fault their customer service.
Can feel but heavy after a while ..but that’s the robustness of it. So have a cuppa break.
Like that it keeps hold of what you’ve just pruned to put in bucket for compost.
It’s not designed for thicker hard pruning.. so don’t force it. But it’s perfect for soft pruning.
I have high raised beds and it’s sometimes difficult to get up there to dead head the peonies/roses. This is absolutely perfect for the job as it also holds the cut bit so you done have to pick it up afterwards. It’s also lightweight and the perfect length for what I needed. Love how it rotates and angles too. It’s also perfect to prune roses so you don’t need to get too close to the thorns!
Needless to say I doo it when they have all gone out for the day to avoid antagonism.
This long reach pruner reaches over 1 ft into my neighbours garden to prune the occasional honey suckle branch well back, it also means I can collect the trimming and dispose of the evidence in my dust bin, otherwise if I left the prunings on the floor for my neighbour to pick up? it might Antagonise things abit.
As for the Red Angle Adjuster? Forgett it, I dont use it, I just tightend my one up straight.
There are some other makes who do not fit a Bendy shift at all. yours MARK
