Product Information

Having used this tool briefly at a demonstration in a garden centre, I feel the build quality isn’t quite as good as the Gardena Starcut 410 and I didn’t like the exposed mechanism but the reviews and ratings online are comparable and it’s worth considering if you’re on a budget. The extended reach makes it very suitable for cutting up to 4 metres and the pole is not too heavy or unwieldy to use.

I tested this pruner in 2022 and put it through its paces by cutting hundreds of branches of variable thickness. Powered tools like this are perfect for those with mobility issues, and we wanted to include this option in our guide. After conducting an analysis of hundreds of reviews and ratings online, Daniel selected the Gardena Starcut 410 Pruner for testing over a four-day period in June and July 2022.

I found this telescopic pruner to be surprisingly lightweight, and as the battery is located at the bottom of the pole, I felt it was well balanced too. The gearing ratio is 12x, meaning only slight effort is enough to cut through tough stems up to 32mm (1. I’ve seen competing products that weigh double and even triple this and I can only imagine how much arm ache the user would experience!

My Best Pick for battery-powered telescopic saw pruners is the Greenworks Telescopic Chainsaw Pruner. I suggest you look at the extended length of the pole rather than the “up to” cutting height, which is an estimate. As you can see from my video at the top of this page, most of the branches in my garden were no more than 32mm (1. I consider this to be an “old school” type pruner, by that, I mean it has an external rope, a basic non-gearing mechanism and a saw attachment.

which is important as I recently spent the best part of two whole days pruning dozens of trees and bushes. The Fiskars Pruner was selected as an alternative as it’s very similar with only subtle differences. I'm only cutting upto 4" with mine and I think it'll be just as fast as a sthil as its not heavy or as bulky plus no petrol !

Experience easier cuts with PowerGear™ X technology 3x gear transmission, allowing for effortless and exact pruning without the need for a ladder or bending or straining knees.Holding a heavy pole above your head isn’t an issue if you do it once but could be painful and awkward if you’re doing it all day.
