They're cheap and worth having!

Do you have a brand you like?

 

[SeanKroll]

No.




There are lots on the market.

I bought a Craftsman larger capacity one from Lowe's for $120 several seasons ago. 1.25" or something.

It's a bit heavy, built on a drill-type body.
2 hands for extended use.

A 3/4" capacity would be nice as a complement.

Clean cuts.

Way faster than manual secateurs or loppers.

 

[SeanKroll]

$75 on up. $800-1200 for high quality.
