DeWalt 20V Max Pruning Shears Garden Tool, Cordless, Bare Tool Only (DCPR320B)

I don’t care what any other review says about this product!! Coming from someone in outdoor power for over 23 years and vs pruning by hand for over 30. This tool is absolutely amazing!! The speed you can prune is life changing. The size helps you did big work that was once very time consuming and involved critical thinking to achieve is now a breeze. And I don’t know who needs to prune over 1100 times before they charge again but I can tell you this I never ran the battery dry before I was able to charge the darn thing. Not that I would have to I already have like 7-8 batteries in my arsenal of dewalt products. Great job dewalt!

First saw this while I was buying the 8" pruning chain saw and thought, why? I didn't think pruning by hand with manual pruners was that big of a deal. The more I thought about it, I went back and bought it and glad I did. It was a lot of help making easy work of a lot of storm damaged trees. I also have blueberry bushes and about 80 trellised blackberry plants. I'm amazed at how much faster the pruning goes with this and no hand cramps that night. I once used it for a 7-8 hour day of pruning with just one 1.5ah battery and it wasn't spent yet. Amazed at how easy and how well it works.

I am old with arthritis in my hands that has decreased my grip strength. We have 95 acres with a lot of brush overgrowing the place. We also have goats. I cut the brush to clear the land and feed the goats who cannot be out on pasture. I used to do it with hand pruners and loppers. It has become more and more difficult. Much of what I used to cut with hand held pruners I now have to cut with loppers. Since I already have a number of 20v Dewalt tools I decided to try the cordless pruner. They have far exceeded expectations. I thought it would only make life easier on by hands which it certainly did. I really did not think it would take that much longer to cut with hand pruners than with this tool. I was wrong there. I can cut 4 times as much brush with the cordless ... MoreI am old with arthritis in my hands that has decreased my grip strength. We have 95 acres with a lot of brush overgrowing the place.

They have far exceeded expectations. I thought it would only make life easier on by hands which it certainly did. I really did not think it would take that much longer to cut with hand pruners than with this tool. I was wrong there. I can cut 4 times as much brush with the cordless pruner than with the hand held pruners in the same amount of time. In part it is because they are so sturdy that it is much easier to push them through dense brush than with a hand held pruner. I had thought I would only be replacing my hand held pruners but now the cordless pruner is taking place of my loppers as well. It holds a great advantage over the loppers. With my now free hand I am able to pull branches down and cut which I could not do with both hands on the loppers. It is also so much easieron my shoulders than loppers are. Some of the brush I cut is entangled with very thin vines. I was concerned that the vines being so thin would wedge between the anvil and cutting blade. However, regardless how thin, none of the vines have wedged. Recently I cut down two trees (with my cordless Dewalt chainsaw) that were growing too close to the house. I used the cordless pruner to clean out the limbs on the downed trees. It was so much faster with the cordless. I can only equated the speed of the cordless pruner to the speed of a pneumatic nail gun. Yes, it is that fast. The cordless pruner cuts anything 1 inch and smaller with one cycle. I have cut up to the 1.5 inches at most taking three cycles, but often still taking just one cycle. Finally, after 4 days of cutting, my 5 AH battery never even dropped one bar. I only had to recharge the battery after I switched it over to the chainsaw. Dewalt classifies this as a professional level tool and I would say that is no exaggeration. If you are considering a cordless pruner I would say do not hesitate buying the Dewalt 20v pruner. You won't go wrong.
