DEWALT 20V MAX 1 1/2" Cordless Pruner Kit - acmetools.pxf....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The DeWalt 1-1/2 Inch cordless pruner has a compact and lightweight construction that helps the tool move easily through branches. This pruner is operated by a 20 Volt motor that delivers up to 1100 cuts on a single charge with a 1-1/2 inch cutting capacity on thick stems and shrubs. Onboard LED lights brighten up the workspace in dark conditions. Coated, non-stick blades of the pruner ensure a smooth operation and the change tool helps in easy changing of the blade.

This is an excellent tool, probably my most used gardening tool. I’ve had it since it was first introduced - only maintenance has been to touch up the blade occasionally. Plenty of power, never gets tired, and runs forever on a 5 Ah PowerStack battery.

[@mdbd7748]

I can buy pole for it?

[@dimsom8461]

I have this and do a lot of yard maintenance each week with it, for about 4 months now. Absolutely beast and it's a favorite. I got it in hopes of replacing the use of loopers and a chainsaw for cutting what I need to into smaller pieces to fit into our city trash bins. It's saved me so much effort. I've cut well above it's rated diameter. I was worried as it was brushed but figured the same, that it was needed for the torque and hasn't been an issue. I use it with the 1.7 powerstack, compact and lightweight setup. Thought the handle was designed in an odd angle and shape but i've been proven wrong, it's very ergonomic.

[@tobylou8]

It's the best pruning tool I've ever used. The battery life has been excellent. I'm a professional landscaper and have done complete hedge renovations on one charge. It is excellent for pruning crape myrtles. It will take a couple of cycles on larger diameter limbs of harder wood, but it's never not completed the cut. It's a beast on cutting vines from around bushes, especially ivy. Highly recommend this tool if you do a lot of pruning!

[@celorenzo]

This makes a lot of sence to me for elderly or users with arthritis with finger/hand pain.

[@saleseng]

One of the best overall tools you can have in your arsenal, I bucked over 150 yd.³ of yard waste branches with this thing filling a few dumpsters worth of cuttings during a multi week property cleanup

[@joecooper6266]

89$ Home Depot, all I can say is wow, where has this little guy been my hole life. I got one for a weekend project and turnes out that my wife use it more and said we need another one. I absolutely love this dewalt pruner. Worth every penny!!

[@tomgibson7267]

I have used mine heavily at my house for 4 months now. It has been worth its weight in gold. Amazing tool . yesterday it had problems and I believe the gears are stripping out. I will buy another if need be but for now I will see what warranty I have if any.

[@melgross]

I always carry mine by the guard. It’s balanced very well carrying it that way. If you’re cutting something thicker, make sure that the branch is up against the bottom jaw. It cuts much better that way.

[@corylohanlon]

Great demo. Thanks for giving it enough of a challenge on some bigger cuts to properly set my expectations.

[@rytyky03]

I have one, it’s my wife’s go to for trimming. We run a 4 amp battery it’s a beast love it

[@WorkshopAddict]

I believe you will enjoy it. Be careful.

[@Lee-lb9qh]

Nice, love anything that makes my life easier and love DeWALT, thanks for the review!

[@joepolymath2308]

The reason you're having trouble with some of the larger limbs is because you're putting the movable blade against the wood surface. If you put the fixed blade against the wood and then pull the trigger, you'll get better results.

[@tashatroesh5222]

thanks for the video. the video and the comments made me feel better about the price.

[@theriac.]

I honestly think, for the cost, having this tool is pointless if you have a decent set of secateurs, as they do the same job in the same time. Or, if you already have Dewalt tools including a reciprocating saw, you could just use this

[@wolf4rmflatbushunknown577]

This tool is bad ass,....Ido Sidejobs in landscaping and Tree removal yet I been using my Dewalt reciprocating saw

[@dscrive]

I think this would also be great for people with one of those electric chippers that can only handle 1 1/2 inch branches, if this tool doesn't cut it in one pass, the branch is too big.

[@jtg2259]

Tractor Supply has these on sale for $99 and get a free 5ah battery. They were out of the XR batteries so I got the pruner and a 5ah Powerstack for $99! Score!

[@WorkshopAddict]

Huge score

[@stevennihipali3607]

It's huge for being a pruner... manual are much smaller in comparison or just going with the milwaukee or ryobi are a better suit

[@Masonicx]

excellent value. I was able to bundle a bare tool with a 5ah battery during a promotion for $120

[@WorkshopAddict]

That is an awesome deal

[@Georgey1995]

The best tool, coming from a landscaper owner

[@itsgalf]

I have Scott's smaller version that can be used on a telescoping pole. Slower than the Dewalt and surely cant handle as big of branches as the DeWalt, but its still a good tool.

[@itsnot1673]

seems like a good tool but yeah i think ill stick with manual pruners as i need all my fingers 😊

[@kylehahn1654]

Always a dong in the bunch! If you would cut your fingers off with this, you will also cut your fingers off with a manual pruner! Just keep your fingers out of the jaw opening and it'll all be fine.

[@itsnot1673]

@@kylehahn1654 no manual pruners are just that manual. you are in full control and when something is made easier that generally also means faster and that leads to mistakes

[@josem2468]

Once you try power pruners there no going back. They're fast, cut clean.

[@tobylou8]

Not to be gross, but your bones are harder than the wood and it would take some work to amputate your own finger. I've hit hard objects in the ground and it just stops, it's not a high horsepower tool. But then again, some people shouldn't use this tool. 😉😉

[@drpatferrydc3853]

NEEDS A BIGGER BATTERY! LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS WELL! I OWN DEWALT TOOLS SO IT WOULD BE A GOOD ADDITION, ALSO I;M INTERESTED IN THE DEWALT MINI CHAIN SAW, LKE TO SEE A VIEDO ON THAT! THANKS!

[@netgear4232]

Compared to the price of the Ryobi version I was SHOCKED by this Dewalt offering.

[@WorkshopAddict]

I never look at the Ryobi version. Not my thing.

[@netgear4232]

@@WorkshopAddict At $30 more than the Dewalt, I wouldn't even consider it either.

[@krapeevids6992]

Pretty much any cordless tool that’s only 100 bucks without the battery to me is a great deal. Especially if it’s going to save you time and overworking yourself.

[@dvssayer5621]

It is now $119 at Home Depot. Going to go get it right now. Well i had to go back! $179 for 2 batteries and $119 for the battery charger... So $500? Altogether with tax? Incredible! Had to charge the batter for 2 hrs or so now its dark.

[@ishwarchandra-rb8xw]

I appreciate this unit, I need to purchase this unit by post

[@WontSeeReplies]

I usually prefer DeWalt but the Milwaukee pruner appears superior. Easier to fit in tight places and single stroke chopping ability. Pricy though.

[@yolo_burrito]

Agreed.

[@TeamTnA44]

I'm sure milwaukee anything vs dewalt

[@joeblow954]

Wonder how much better this is than just using the 12v sawzall

[@tobylou8]

It's a very clean quick cut with no jerking around. Sawzall would be better if you're cutting lots of larger branches.

[@keithtownsend9865]

I love this tool! Unfortunately, I drove over the plastic blade guard! How can I get a replacement?

[@_P0tat07_]

1100 branches per Dewalt 😂 great review tho. I’m so tempted to get one to bring to work

[@WorkshopAddict]

I hope I clearly stated my view that 1100 was very optimistic.

[@default9740]

@@WorkshopAddictI would say it’s not far off. I’ve done a shocking amount of Ivy pruning on a similar battery. You’d be working really hard to need more than 4.0ah a day with this tool.

[@WorkshopAddict]

@@default9740 With small twigs, I agree. Pushing this a bit on larger branches, it seemed to chew up the 2Ah a bit.

[@elizabethfletcher1487]

So, the battery lasts sort of proportionally to the sharpness of the blade, so keeping that blade sharp is key to 1100 cuts. First day I used it I cut continually for 4 hrs before the battery quit. I crawled back to the house that night but my 73 year old hand and arm were fine. Thanks to the fact it was less sharp the next few days, I was not so beat up when it was done. Been using the dulled blades on those in-the-dirt cuts on my berry bushes. Bought a backup blade with the initial purchase. I doubt I will ever use it. The blade is very easy to sharpen.

[@FORTHIENVU]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@XBOXHOODLUM]

Please try it on 1" dead oak limb. I'll watch.

[@als2217]

Trimmed up my live white oak and sailed through 1 1/4 inch 1 year old sprouts easy. Worked harder on 1 inch older branches. Overall very happy.

[@BlondieSL]

Are the blades on this pruner easy to sharpen? Are replacement blades (both) readily available??

[@WorkshopAddict]

They are easy to sharpen and you can easily get replacements

[@BlondieSL]

@@WorkshopAddict Thanks. I've been waiting to order one, so I have to ask, now that you've had it for a while, do you still think that it's worth it? Is it holding up to use?

[@michaelthompson7570]

Can you imagine this vs. a finger or other body part..my neighbor has Myrtle trees that over my line to mow,,,they are the toughest to cut with pruners,,thinking this tool just for those…..

[@tomgibson7267]

If they cut, or more likely don't cut clean with hand pruners, then yes this is the tool you need. I have some saplings that I prune that will not always cut clean by hand but this Dewalt makes it like butter.

[@Hindukushsailing]

I am a member of the Yakuza and find it practical when taking off pinky fingers.

[@leonardolimon8371]

[@HelloICyou]

Next time use a bigger ah battery should do it in 1 cut instead of 2

[@JamesJohnson-qq6hh]

Mine worked great for 3 days. Then the trigger started sticking and jaws closed, but did not open again. I could tap it at first to free the trigger and blades, but within a few minutes, it just quit working altogether. I bought a second one, thinking the problem was an anomaly. The new one lasted two weeks, and the same thing happened again. The trigger gets stuck, the jaws stay closed. And I need to return both and find a different brand. It's a shame. This was a great tool, but only while it worked.

[@WorkshopAddict]

Odd. Mine works flawlessly. Milwaukee makes a good one also.

great tool for people that don't know about reciprocating saws

[@_Zaid]

I have both and this works way better for garden or landscaping work, a reciprocating saw won't easily cut smaller, flexible branches
