Long Reach Pruners, Pole Pruner Head, Fruit Picker, Extension Poles for work in difficult-to-reach Areas

When gardening, one often finds that one's arms are simply too short! Even to pick or prune relatively small trees or climbing roses, one has to clamber up a ladder - with all the risks that can entail on soft ground. With a pole pruner, one can extend one's reach by 1.5 meters (5 feet). With a telescoping pole, and the various heads designed for it, one can reach up more than 5 meters (17 feet) while keeping one's feet on solid ground.

Long Reach Pruner with exchangeable Blade The blade on these clippers from Berger is replaceable, and features a low-friction coating for clean cuts. The cutting head can be turned to a 45 degree angle to allow you to get into awkward corners. The hook has teeth to hold branches securely in the jaws while cutting. These shears are not only for clipping high branches. The long handle also allows one to prune rose bushes and other thorny shrubs and plants from a safe distance. Total length 1500 mm (5 ft.) Blade length 55 mm /2-1/4 in.) Weight ca. 670 g (1-1/2 lbs) Order nr. 317024 Price € 42.50

Pole Pruner Head Fixed to the end of a telescoping pole, this pruning head allows one to easily cut high branches. One simply hooks the branch with the end and then pulls on the wooden toggle at the end of the rope. The lever provides a good mechanical advantage to shear the anti-friction-coated blade through surprisingly thick branches. The blade is replaceable. Made by Berger, in Wuppertal, Germany. Weight 670 g Order nr. 317040 Price € 26.80

	Pole Pruner Head with Saw This pole head works the same as the pruner head above, but also has a fast-cutting saw blade attached for bigger branches. The blade is 330 mm long with laser hardened teeth set 4 mm apart. Weight 790 g Order nr. 317041 Price € 42.50

Fruit Picker This fruit picker can easily be mounted on a wooden pole. But one can obtain a longer and more comfortable reach when it is mounted on one of our telescoping poles. The cloth sack allows one to pick fruit with far less bruising than other methods from the safety of solid ground. The rim is in plastic-coated metal. Diameter 150 mm Inside diameter of the pole socket is 25 mm (1 in.). Weight 250 g Note: you need a wooden adapter to fix the fruit picker on the Berger extension pole (see picture). Order nr. 317043 Price € 11.90

Adaptor for Fruit Picker - you need this adapter to fix the fruit picker on the Berger extension pole. Order nr. 317044 Price € 5.90

Both models are easy to store and transport, with a closed length of 1.75 m (6 feet).
