extendable hedge shears

Reach varies widely. Many manual pole pruners extend from about 7.3 ft up to roughly 24–27 ft; some long‑reach models list up to 30 ft. A few cordless trimmers offer about an additional 12 ft of telescoping reach.

Manufacturers use several systems to set length: double‑lock joints, tool‑free twist‑and‑lock threaded connections, and quick flip‑lock rings for fast adjustment.

Cutting capacity varies by cutting head. Reported listings show some saw heads handling up to about 1.5 inches, others up to about 2 inches, and a lopper‑style tool listing a capacity around 35 mm. Because capacity varies by head and model, check each product’s stated cutting capacity.

Kits often include multiple poles, spare saw blades, pruning scissors, saw sleeves or sheaths, ropes or pulleys, gloves, and a carrying or storage bag.

Many listings include a saw sleeve or blade sheath and a carry/storage bag to cover blades and hold accessories while the tool is inactive.

Manual long‑reach pruners typically use a rope‑and‑pulley or rope‑pull mechanism that actuates pruning scissors or a hooked saw head from ground level to cut branches.
