Manual tree pruners let you trim high branches with both feet on the ground, no ladder needed and no engine to fuel or maintain. Each pole pruner pairs two cutters on one head, a rope-pulled bypass blade for branches up to about an inch and a curved pruning saw for anything bigger, so one tool handles most of the trimming a tree will ever need. They are ideal for removing dead, damaged, or diseased limbs and for maintaining the shape and structure of small to medium trees.
| Model | Reach | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 14' Heavy Duty Tree Pruner | 14 feet | Taller trees and thicker branches. A levered bypass cutting mechanism built for extra power, a double-locking pole, detatchable saw blade, and a rope that stays managed instead of tangled. |
| 12' Regular Duty Tree Pruner | 12 feet | Most suburban yards. Lighter in the hands for longer sessions, with a bypass cutting head and an removable saw blade. |
If you are unsure, consider the tallest branch you prune each year. The 12' model covers most single-story rooflines; the 14' Heavy Duty adds reach and cutting power for anything beyond that. Both are backed by our Guaranteed Forever warranty. For limbs too thick for a pole pruner's saw, step up to a dedicated pruning saw; for stems within arm's reach, a pair of hand pruners is faster.
