New restyled & improved version of the long running former Fiskars UP86, model 115660

Weighing only 1.96kg, this tool eliminates the painful contortions usually associated with conventional tree pruners. No ropes, no ladders, no injuries, no problem.
It is THE PREFERRED CHOICE BY LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE CONTRACTORS

Features:

• Proven 20 year design, but now even better ergonomics with no exposed locking levers to tangle or get hooked up on branches
• New extended easily visible orange guide on the lower fixed blade aids locating the branch into the cutting jaws
• Cutting head on this new model is mechanically fastened to eliminate it inadvertently pulling out.
• Cutting head, as before, rotates 230 degrees to always get the right cut at a comfortable angle.
• PowerStroke cutting action-The pruning blade is actuated by pulling the sliding orange handle on the wand or pulling the orange handle on the end when at arms reach.
• Extends the base of the cutting jaws from 2.36m to 4.04m to allow a 1.8m high user to vertically reach tall branches 6.1m above the ground.
• Fully hardened steel blade with non-stick coating cuts with less effort.
• Lightweight telescopic aluminum pole weighs only 1.96kg.
• Cutting capacity: 31mm in soft green living growth or approximately 25mm in hard growth
• Made in Poland

Accessories:

• Fiskars Branch Saw (UP80) - 110950 - We believe this is better than the new version (longer cut and adjustable approach angle & cheaper). Clamps onto the end of the wand below the cutting head of UPX82 and Telescopic UPX86. PULL SAW action for cuts up to 100mm or larger diameter.
• Fiskars Branch Saw - 1023633 - Clamps onto the butt of the cutting head of UPX82 and Telescopic UPX86. PULL SAW action for cuts up to 80mm or larger diameter.

  Statement by the jury: "The pruning shears Fiskars PowerGear X combine a well-devised mechanism with an ergonomic design to create a functional, effective unit"

Reviews (Previous model):

• As an archery hunter, this is the best tool I have found for cutting shooting lanes in the woods. It allows me to get into my stand at 20' above ground, trim limbs from there, then finish the job from the ground. We have set 15 tree stands this year and all we wouldn't be done without this tool.....Wayne E (USA)
• This is absolutely the best yard tool that I've ever used! It is beautifully designed, cuts well, and reaches far with surprisingly little effort compared to heavier pruners. The rotating cutting head makes it easy to get at branches of all angles. Very, very highly recommended.....Mary A (USA)

WARNING: Extreme caution is required when using this tool near overhead power lines.
