Pruning tasks can literally be a pain at times… specifically in our hands from all that repetition. My new favorite tools are battery-powered pruners. What a difference they’ve made!
I subscribe to the wonderful British gardening magazine called Gardener’s World. Early this year, I saw an article about battery-powered pruners and I recall thinking that seemed unnecessary. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how they can save gardeners’ hands and wrists.
I show the article to Bill, who instantly set about locating a source for them. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if they’d only be available in the U.K. Well, it turns out I needn’t have worried because he immediately found some.
For some background, we already owned 3 other battery-operated tools. Those are a chainsaw, weed-whacker, and saw. Ryobi is the brand we bought and they’ve been both easy to use and very reliable. The batteries are interchangeable between these tools so we stuck with Ryobi for the pruners and loppers.
While I’ve been excited to share this information with you, I wanted to test them for a few months first. Why? Well, I don’t want to recommend a product or tool without having firsthand experience using it. (I think you’ll agree that’s important.)
Long story short, this is the topic of my newest video. I wanted to show you what they are, how they work, and how to use them. However, you might have a different brand of battery-powered tools that use a specific battery pack.
As many of you are aware, I have an Amazon Store. I put the Ryobi pruners and loppers in my store, as well as Craftsman, Skil, and Dewalt pruners. That way, you can easily see what they look like and so on. I also wanted to mention that as an Amazon Associate, I earn a commission from qualifying purchases. However, that won’t impact the price you pay in the least.
One last point: Just as with all types of tools, it’s important to keep them away from kids. And it’s important to keep everyone safe by using good practices. When you are not using any battery-powered tool, remove the battery. And keep the tools and batteries out of the reach of kids! When you’re using tools that can cut, always keep your fingers away from the cutting blades. In addition, always watch exactly where you’re cutting so you can see what you’re doing.

I hope you enjoyed the video and that you’re intrigued by these types of pruners. They have definitely been a game-changer because now we can do our chores without getting tendonitis!
