"Plus one on the Stihl. Ive been using them for detailed hedge reductions as well as general prruning. They are a game changer , really good bit of kit."
"I bought the prunarbo set. Great machine. It has its own batteries but they are interchangeable with makita so i just bought the bare bones machine for £99. I actually use dewalt kit so just bought a makita to dewalt converter from ebay. Works…"
"A friend of my wifes gave me a pair for Christmas a few years ago, I laughed heartily and said to my wife, I’ll never use these, ridiculous. Never heard of the brand Bilivry 24v I believe, they look quite well made and have lasted although I did…"
"I bought Kebtec pruners at the start of the year and haven't used my bypass or anvil loppers since. They've done tens of thousands of cuts and are brilliant. I can attach mine to an extension pole as well which is also very useful.

"The older ones which first came out were indeed frustratingly slow. I had a Bosch set many years ago where I could have made about 3 cuts with manual secateurs in the time it took to do 1. Soon gave up on those. The Milwaukee shears I use now are…"
"I was given some by an elderly client,, I think they were Gardena or similar. They cut well, though no possibility of doing "a Felco" and swapping blades or other parts... they were also very bulky and slow. I think the new Stihl ones have corrected…"
"Hi Neil - have you tried the surrey county council tips at either Epsom or Leatherhead, green waste is charged at £100.00 per ton with a minimum charge of 500kg.
Alternatively Envar have a green waste tip at Lyne near chertsey.
cheers
