This tool is the perfect answer to all those crape myrtle branches that grow like crazy and must be trimmed back every year! Like any electric or battery driven appliance, all you have to do is take care of it and keep it charged and it will last a long time. My wife is over 70 and uses it for a hour or so every day and poof! all those branches were gone... and without complaints from her. That alone was worth the price! We like the product very much and certainly recommend it to others!

Very helpful, but it has to be held carefully at a right angle to cut half-inch twigs, or its "beak" will pop off. Even so, I wouldn't try it on half-inch hardwoods such as cedar or juniper. Great for smaller twigs.
Easy to use. I developed trigger finger(this is when your middle index finger becomes locked in curled position) cutting branches around the yard. Now I can cut the branches with no effort at all.
It makes pruning much easier than using a manual pruner. Hands begin to cramp when using manual tools.

Have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. With a hand pruner I'm good for 15 minutes. This pruner a life saver. Can work with it for hours. After a year and a half it just would not work. I had not register the pruner when new, had not saved sales slip and could not prove when or where I bought it. Called customer service and was put on hold for say 15 minutes so I figured I just might as well throw it away and buy another. Then the music stopped "JR" came on and after asking my name told me straight away he was going to take care of me. "JR" got my address and telephone number and e-mail address. Advised he would send a new one immediately and expect it in a day or two at no charge. He e-mailed me a confirmation "ticket" number Warranty Order number and a prepaid UPS address label. E-mail advised to put old one in box new one came in. Now, that is the way to treat a customer.
I was a little disappointed, but glad to have tool as it did make some work easier. Main complaint is the size of branch the tool will prune cleanly. Branches at the tools max size seem to not cut cleanly and completely with one press of the power button. Yet, it saved me time and effort with smaller branches and limbs working as described. I am glad I bought the tool and of course will continue to use, but wish the limb size this works on were a bit larger.
