When choosing electric pruning sheers, you need to take some time to research what all is on the market and compare models and brands. Pruning shears, whether electric or manual, are a necessary tool for any home gardener, so you'll want to make sure you buy the best shears you can afford.
Tips for Choosing
Makita Cordless Saw
The number one consideration when buying electric pruning shears is quality. You don't want to spend your hard-earned money on an el cheapo set of pruning shears which you'll have to replace in a few years. Look for carbon-steel blades. They won't rust, and they will provide the durability you're looking for.
Don't buy electric pruning shears just because Uncle Joe has the same brand and really likes them. The best shears for him might be all wrong for you which will make them both hard to handle and unsafe. You need to find pruning shears that are the right weight and size for you. Getting the wrong ones could endanger your health and safety .
A major safety feature is buying electric pruning shears which you can totally dismantle after use so that you can clean them for next time. If you have shears that get things jammed in them which you can't remove, you've got a real safety hazard on your hands. You never know when a piece of jammed wood might fly out and hit you, or someone else, in the face. The force is enough to put an eye out. So prevent injuries before they happen by buying shears you can clean.
Three Major Types You Can Pick From
In choosing your pruning shears, there are three basic styles to choose from depending on what you're planning to use them for. Straight-bladed manual shears are the most common and versatile type of pruning shears. They are easy to use and make clean cuts. Shears with serrated blades, though, are a bit harder to manipulate and are used most often for ornamental grass.
Electric pruning shears are your third option. These work best in large yards where there is a lot of recurrent pruning work to be done. Using them is much easier than manual clippers, and you can get through the jobs a great deal faster. They are even ideal for thicker plant stems and small trees. While not providing as smooth of a cut as the manual pruning shears do, they can't be beat for speed and ease of use.
