What are Pruners?
Pruner is both a term for a class of garden tools and a specific tool within that class. It’s important to choose the tool by the diameter and type of matter to be cut, to avoid damaging a tool that’s not up to the job. The class of pruners includes the tool variously known as pruning shears, pruners, or secateurs; loppers; and also pruning saws, in order of increasing strength. All pruners are used to trim, cut, and cut back live and dead growth: the smaller ones are used for cutting thin stems and twigs, while the larger ones can handle thick branches and even trunks. Pole pruners are similar in capacity to loppers, but are, as the name suggests, mounted on a pole, allowing the user to extend his or her reach by 6–12 feet (1.8–3.7 m). There are also pole saws which can extend as far as 21 feet (6.5 m). Pruning Shears, Pruners, or Secateurs. These are one-handed, two-bladed devices for cutting material up to ¾ inch (20 mm) thick, depending on the specifications. Secateur is the Britis
