Product description

Fiskars Pruning Stik Tree Pruner makes it easy to cut high or low with a level of control traditional pruners with exterior ropes can’t match. A long, lightweight pole lets you cut high branches without the hassles and dangers of using a ladder, make low cuts without sore knees from kneeling or back strain from bending and easily reach into dense, prickly shrubs or tight spots. For the reach you need to cut your highest branches, the pole extends all the way to 12 foot and locks securely. The rope-free design means you can use both hands to maximize your power and accuracy, and an easy-to-grip sliding handle makes the pruning action smooth and simple. An actuating ball at the end of the pole lets you reach even farther and still prune with precision, an included 15 inch saw blade makes it easy to take down thicker branches, and the cutting head rotates up to 230 degrees to let you prune and saw at tough angles. The fully hardened, precision-ground blade stays sharp, and a low-friction, rust-resistant coating makes every cut easier.

• Ideal for pruning high branches and reaching tight spaces
• Rope-free design gives you two-handed control and power
• Power-Stroke chain-driven gearing provides maximum cutting power
• Fully hardened steel pruning blade with non-stick coating stays sharp and cuts up to a 1¼" diameter smoothly

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the wgt of the unit
Answer:	3.8 lb. without the saw. The saw add 0.55 lb.
Question:	How does one operate the shears part of the tool? On other products I see a squeeze handle at the base of the pole. Don't see one here
Answer:	The orange handle on the shaft slides up and down to work the shears. When the pole saw is fully expanded and the orange handle is out of reach, there is real strong nylonish-type cable attached to handle t pull for easy operation of the shears. I find that this gives me more flexibility in my posture which is important when using for extended periods of time. This particular Fiskars tool is awesome = in my opinion the best "medium duty" pole pruner, by far for these reasons. (1) It's FAR LIGHTER than other pole pruners; if you are going to be using a pole saw for more than 15-30 minutes at a time, you're gonna love this model (2) Very sharp, and like all Fiskars tools, the blade is made from quality metal that maintains a nice sharp edge. (3) THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE - there is no big "knobby thing or pulley set up on the end; this makes it lighter to use but also allows you to get into tighter spaces for finer detailing. (4) The telescoping mechanism works efficiently and very easily (5) One can position the angle of the shears for cleaner, better quality cuts.. I'm a professional botanist, gardening columnist and gardening instructor, and I highly recommend this pole pruner.
Question:	Where can I get a replacement strap for my Fiskars 9240 telescoping pruning stick
Answer:	I sent them a request for a replacement strap for my 9240 because it frayed at the end entering the pole when fully extended. I also sent a picture. To my surprise they sent me a new one. Not just the strap but a whole new pruner. Now that’s customer service and lifetime warranty at its best. Thanks Fiaksrs
Question:	What is the largest sized branch which can be cut with the pruning shear
Answer:	The pruner blades measure about 1-1/8" apart so it should do up to 1" as stated in the specs. I've cut about 3/4" branches with no issues.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these last a while? I have Fiskars original and after cutting a lot of suckers the blades just aren't as sharp after only 2 months
Answer:	I have had these tiny Fiskars for at least 5 years and they are still plenty sharp. You might consider contacting Fiskars as they stand behind their products, having replaced some loppers I bought awhile back.
Question:	Can I use these to cut candle wicks
Answer:	Why not, they are really sharp.
Question:	Is the non-stick coating worth the extra cost
Answer:	I find the non-stick coating on the cutting blades very helpful as this means they do not need as much cleaning as other pruning snips / cutters that I have used. I think the coating helps to keep it sharp. Whether it is the coating or the metal they used to make the blades, this snip is very, very sharp and cuts cleanly. I find it very useful for more refined work such as snipping leaves, ornamental grasses, soft plant stems, etc. which secateurs have a tough job handling because they are too big for the job or do not cut as cleanly. The only problem I have is the blades keep locking shut together when I grip /hold the handles too close to the orange lock while using the snip. But it does not feel natural to grip / hold the handles near their ends further away from the orange lock because of the shape of the handles - could have been more ergonomically designed.
Question:	where is it made? Somewhere in Europe or China
Answer:	These are made in China. I wish Amazon had a policy about listing where things were made. Had I known, I would have bought something else.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have pair of loppers but the blade needs to be sharpened,how does one sharpen
Answer:	Can be done with a dremmel tool with a small grinding wheel. A small sharp flat file, a hand knife sharpening stone, or other similar tools
Question:	What country is this made
Answer:	Taiwan. We have our original one, it was made in Finland. Looks the same but time will tell if it is as good. Original one is more than 15 yes old. Hope this helps.
Question:	How heavy are these loppers
Answer:	Not really heavy at all
Question:	Where can one get replacement blades assuming that blades are replaceable
Answer:	I just got a brand new replacement set after going to the Fiskars website product page and clicking on Warranty Claim. Sent a picture with my claim of the broken blade about 2 weeks ago and forgot about it and was surprised to find some new loppers in my box. I think it would be cool if I could just have 2 or 3 blades on hand, but I guess you can't complain when they do no questions asked replacement.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the Weight of this Lopper
Answer:	I think that the weight was listed in the description info. As a male, it is a comfortable weight, but could be a little heavy for a smaller female, especially if working overhead.
Question:	This says "new Model". What is the difference from previous 18" power gear model
Answer:	These are more sturdy. But this Power Gear 2 weighs about twice as much as the original Power Gear. Really disappointing that you can't find the original any more.
Question:	Are the blades replaceable
Answer:	I was able to find and purchase replacement blades for the original PowerGear. Shipping was high so I ordered 5 to save money but with propper care and light filing I have only used 2 after 1yr of heavy business use.Fiskars blades only have a 1/8in blade overlap (allows more cutting capacity) so they must be just slightly sharpened and they work fine. My dad tried to sharpen his chipped blade and took too much off and ruined it.Just don't cut roots in dirt, too dry limbs, chain link fencing, or twist the blade. I find my employees always try cutting roots without properly cleaning them (roots) and it ALWAYS dulls or chips the blades, even if you think it wouldn't. I have to threaten employees to pay for damage and then they treat them better.
Question:	Is this newer model worth $7 more than the prior model ($43 vs
Answer:	The small improvements do make it worth the extra money. This is a highly effective tool that is easy on your hands and back. I would pay more than the listed price using this on fairly large locust branches recently without any problem. This is the best lopper made.

User questions & answers

Question:	I kinda have a black thumb, but I am trying to learn. My houseplant needs pruning, are these the right type for this
Answer:	Not unless you have very large plants with substantial stems. These bypass pruners are to heavy-duty for delicate plants; buy smaller, lighter weight "snippers" for leaves and thin stems/branches. Otherwise, I applaud you trying to overcome your black thumb. Remember: common sense goes a long way in caring for house plants. Good luck
Question:	Where are these made
Answer:	I took the rubber handles off to see if there was any information as to where they are made. I found nothing. They sell them at Home Depot if you can look at the packaging there. Sorry I couldn’t help you.
Question:	will this cut thru bamboo easily (clumping kind not giant 4 inch round one
Answer:	For me these pruners easily cut through branches up to about half an inch wide. I have never tried cutting bamboo with them however.
Question:	how do you slide back the safety catch? I can't move it
Answer:	It should slide forward and backward easily. Put a drop of WD40 around it.

Question:	What is the weight of the GG12 Tabor lopper
Answer:	Weighed on a Moultrie Digital Game Scale at 3.6 pounds or 1.6 Kilograms
Question:	Are the handles steel or fiberglass
Answer:	These loppers have steel handles

Answer:	Absolutely NOT! These things totally rock. The mechanical advantage you get with them makes them go through thick branches like a hot knife through butter- even if you are a 5'1" 68 year old lady like me. I have their hedge shears, and they are so good, I bought these. I don't think there is a human alive that would bat their knuckles together with these. As shown, in the photo, the blades are closed. I love Tabor Tools.
Question:	Is this better than the Cindy Lauper
Answer:	While Cindy was a cutting edge artist in her day. She no longer seems as sharp. That being said, it is not fair to compare the two.

Excellent tool for both green and hard/dry wood

This tool was designed with comfort and functionality in mind, featuring ergonomically contoured grips, innovative mechanisms, and coated blades for a sharper, longer lasting cut.

Because of their design, anvil loppers can often cut thicker branches than bypass. Anvil lopper have one straight blade that cuts as it closes onto a flat edge or ‘anvil’ (think about it like a knife on a chopping board). This makes an anvil lopper an excellent tool for trimming back live wood before making a final, clean cut with bypass loppers.

• GG12A Anvil Loppers are meant for pruning both hard green and dry/woody growth
• Cuts branches up to a diameter of 2”
• Suitable for cut-to-length work
• Suitable for preparatory cuts before making a final, clean cut with bypass loppers.

GG12A - There's no cut you can't make! ​

Compound Action System

The compound lever system with multiple pivot points and moving parts increases the force applied to the blades. The compound action blade has multiple moving parts which multiplies the force applied to the blades 3 times!

A Clean, smooth cut

The anvil mechanism works like this: the upper blade is narrower and sharper. The wide anvil distributes pressure and supports the branch in order to avoid damaging or crushing the bark. A curved head or swiveling anvil provides an easier cutting action close to the joint.

• Dynamic compound action mechanism
• Makes clean cuts with less resistance
• Perfect for cutting tougher, larger and harder branches

User questions & answers

Question:	I am sorry, but my question is very basic (never used any sort of pruner before). In what position the blade should be and how to adjust it right
Answer:	I found keeping the blade straight and standing back from the tree (instead of right underneath) best for cutting.You pull the blade towards you to cut, lift the blade place it on the branch and pull towards you lift blade and place it into the cut and repeat till cut off.
Question:	is the woodzig an attachment or a separate tool used to cut larger branches
Answer:	The woodzig is the long blade used to cut/saw the branches. Everything you need comes in the package. There are no other attachments needed.
Question:	I have a juniper tree that needs pruning. The branches are about 3" - 4" in diameter. Will the Woodzig saw deal with these branches
Answer:	I have cut branches that thick, but it was difficult--especially if you have to reach a long distance. Having said that, understand that I am 74 years old. The 9301 can do the job.
Question:	What is the length of this pruner when it is NOT extended? I'm wondering for storage purposes
Answer:	Some where over 6 ft with blade folded down (TIP: when you receive pruner, cut two pieces of cardboard from the box you receive it in to make a slip cover for the blade while on pole.. just heavy tape three sides. and then slide blade between the card board at open end.. this protects the blade and you while not in use..)
