DEWALTDewalt 20V MAX Cordless Pruner (DCPR320D1)

Works well, well worth it. These were something I had thought of as a toy or luxury item. While I do have a large backyard, and it's more or less 'natural' and it's overgrown with everything from small oaks and torny vines.These cut anything I would normally use hand shears for (they say 1 1/2" but I'll say 1"). The speed they cut at is fine, and they are easy to use. The end result is very little effort so you get a lot done quickly. The batteries last all day or at least 90% of the day, with a lot of use. I haven't used any other brand so I can't compare them to cheaper models. I decided to go with the Dewalt thinking the brand name would insure quality. The tool is designed with a guard of sorts that provides some protection for your working hand. It also features a safety system to prevent accidental cutting, it's easy to get used to (have to flip a small flap downward and depress a saftey trigger, after that you can press the actual trigger. It sounds harder than it is, the system cannot be defeated with duct tape or similar methods, I think it's a fair idea as I guarantee the tool could harvest a finger quickly.The tool is not cheap. However it's possible to buy a second one as a tool only (no battery or charger) and I had already purchased 2 extra batteries (also not cheap). After waiting for my wife to get done so I could use it and vice-versa it was only $100 for tool 2. Don't regret it.What could be improved? I haven't found a way to carry the tool hanging from may belt, no hook or even hole placed there for a lanyard. I have to assume safety was the overriding concern (back to the part of harvesting a finger or whatever was unfortunately there in the event of accidentally pressing the trigger. I am looking into using a holster designed for a battery drill or carpenters pouch.So far this is a purchase I'm happy with.

I am a 74 year old widow that has a bush that frequently needs branches cut off. Granted the branches are not more than 1 1/2" but this trimmer worked perfectly. I was concerned about some of the other reviews talking about how dangerous some other brands are, but the blades move slowly enough it doesn't shoot the trimmed piece out--they simply fall off. There is a good locking mechanism and it's easy to hold. Good safety precautions are always recommended, but so far I'm very pleased. Took me about 5 minutes to trim my bush, no hand strain, easy peasy!

This pruner is a great item. It cuts very well and is easy to use. It will cut just about anything that fits between the jaws. Both my wife and I find it very useful.

I bought this for my wife since she was having difficulty with manual pruners. I use it more than she does! It’s fantastic. Makes pruning easy and faster. The battery lasts and lasts. Cuts up to about ¾” easily. One of the best yard tools we’ve ever bought.

Love this little tool. Trimmed an entire row of hydrangea in no time at all. Easy to use. When you activate the clippers, it almost sounds like someone saying "Ha-Ha". Makes me smile each time I use it.

This thing is a BEAST and the battery goes for DAYS! I'm so glad I got it.

We have a vineyard on the property and these clippers make fast work of all the trimmings and other work required to be trimmed down to size. They're powerful and a big scary. You need to have a clear view of what you're doing and where your fingers are when using these as once you pull the trigger, there's no going back.

I am amazed at how easy this tool makes trimming suckers and branches. It allows you to get into tight spaces that you could never manage with a conventional trimmer. It’s a lot stronger than you might think, and it could take a finger off if you got careless. The battery life is good, and the trimmer is durable. I only wish Dewalt had supplied it with a carrying case as they used to do with other tools. Amazon has an after market case that I bought that works well. If you’re getting up there in years, this trimmer makes life a lot easier if you have a large property with a lot of trimming to do.
