Ranking of the best tower cutters for 2020

Today there are many different garden tools, which are difficult to do without at a summer cottage. Among them, a special place is occupied by a hedge trimmer, which eliminates the need to call expensive specialists at home. It is used not only by amateur gardeners, but also by professional gardeners to maintain plantings in proper condition. A Pole Pruner is a tool that is used to remove branches and branches from shrubs and trees, thereby enabling vegetation to heal and shape. In this case, additional lifting devices are not required.

The Pole Pruner helps to carry out the planned and sanitary pruning of trees and the care of ornamental vegetation on the territory of a private house. It is used not only for working with tall trees. What is the best tool to buy, and what should you look for when choosing garden equipment?

Design features

This type of garden tool can be classified as a special type of special purpose saw. The design features are such that it looks like a brushcutter and trimmer. The difference lies in the presence of a telescopic handle and a cutting attachment. When unfolded, the size of the structure can reach three meters. The tool's efficiency will depend on the characteristics of the cutting element. An important aspect is considered to be the power of the engine used, which is equipped with a pole saw.

Areas of use:

• For crown formation in trees.
• To maintain a beautiful view of the garden.
• For removing dry branches.
• For the formation of a green fence.

It should be noted that the cutting element is assembled from a chain and a fixed-type bar, which must be made of high-quality and durable material. It is she who will move, allowing you to use the garden tool for its intended purpose.

Kinds

An irreplaceable helper for every self-respecting gardener. However, before purchasing such equipment, you should understand the basic types of such tools. There are four types:

• mechanical;
• gasoline;
• rechargeable;
• electrical.

In order not to make common mistakes when choosing, you should understand their differences and purposes.

Mechanical

Also referred to as loppers. Equipped with a lift mechanism reminiscent of garden shears.A feature is the presence of a very long handle, often made of durable aluminum. The created shoulder will significantly increase the force that a person will apply to cut. This design is considered the simplest and it is preferred by amateur gardeners.

Gasoline

Most models are equipped with gasoline engines. It is this selection criterion that is considered the main one, since it makes such devices the most powerful of the available species. We are talking about a high-performance internal combustion engine, which are equipped with the poles. The product has a high working life. Taking into account the use of the latest engines, which are often equipped with units, several categories are distinguished based on the following criteria:

1. Insignificant fuel consumption.
2. Compactness of the device.
3. Dimensions and weight of the product when folded and unfolded.
4. Balancing adjustment.
5. The noise that the device makes during operation.
6. Performance.

With the help of such an assistant, you can quickly and effortlessly put in order the appearance of the plantings. It should be noted that no excessive efforts will have to be made.

Rechargeable

Among the popular models, you can find units that are equipped with batteries. They are characterized by excellent mobility compared to electrical devices. The telescopic handle will allow you to cut branches located at any height, and the presence of a built-in battery will allow you to work at a respectful distance from home. The principle of operation of the main device is similar to the battery (batteries for cars). After a short charge through the socket, the pole saw is ready for use. The main advantage is its remoteness, because with such a device you can work for several hours without access to the network.

It should be noted that for normal operation, the device will have to be connected to the network from time to time, depending on the technical characteristics, since the duration of operation without recharging will depend on the capacity of the built-in battery. However, the more powerful the battery, the more the structure will weigh.

Electrical

Electric cutters are powerful tools. There are several types, but they are all powered by an electric motor. It copes with the indicated functions completely. The device is powered by a 220 V network. The brainchild of the best manufacturers will cost a large sum, since they are more expensive than mechanical counterparts. However, the cost is more than justified, since its efficiency is several times higher. In order for the unit to work, it must be connected to the network using the supplied cable.

The tool does not need additional adjustments and maintenance. However, among the shortcomings, it should be noted the need for a nearby outlet, which in the presence of a garden on a site remote from home, can become a problem. Such a device is not considered mobile. An extension cord is needed to work on the site.
