Battery Powered Pruners

[TonyR]

Anyone familiar with any type of battery powered pruners. Need to be powerful enough to do my grapes and my fruit trees. Hands don't work that well anymore

I'm not. My wife found a set of ratcheting pruners and loppers on qvc or something that she loves. Ageing hands are very happy with them. She can cut small stuff with one snip and a couple of easy squeezes for larger stuff.

Haven't used them yet Tony but if my arthritis gets much worse I may need to. The problem I hear about them is they are a positive motion and once triggered don't stop until the complete the cut- be it grape shoots or fingers or wire. That could be a problem.............

try this outfit. electric ones are pretty pricey, they seem to have pneumatic one as well.

would need an air compressor and generator for the air pressure ones, probably come just as economic with electric battery.
