pruners (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/gardening
 

a larger garden with lots of trees made a better pruner necessary. Who knows how many pruners from different brands i've used and how many i broke.

until now i never had a pruner that i actually liked. okatsune is not a brand shops carry and most people are happy with german brands (which are decent enough. Bahco from Sweden was a better one)

I thought one bought pruners to use for a year or two and replace.

i've found out about okatsune from a video from Cedric & Ada gear review. When i watched EdibleAcres' video i decided to order one.

if you need a pruner you can trust, you may be interested in these. They are tough!

I've just been looking at getting some pruners!

We bought a new house with 1300m^2 garden and the previous owner let all of the hedges and bushes turn into full trees pretty much. In belgium every trips their willows and small elms to be like hedges and she let those go too, so I need to do some major pruning.

I heard that felco is the go to brand. Are these comparable?

people who use both say that they're. If you're good with sharpening choose these; if you prefer to change blades, go for the felco.

i wanted to have a decent steel that i probably can use till the day i die.
