Kings County Tools 59" Long-Reach Pruner with Rotating Head, Bypass Shears on Lightweight Aluminum Pole

If you need safer access to mid-canopy limbs, hedges and tall shrubs, this pole pruner gives extra reach with manageable weight. The tool pairs a giraffe-style wide handle action and razor-sharp bypass blades so cuts stay clean while a removable nylon harness eases carrying during long jobs. It’s built for homeowners and pros who want reliable reach and control when thinning live growth or cutting away dead wood.

How does the rotating head improve high pruning?

The rotating cutting head lets you orient the blade to match branch angle, so you can make cleaner, more precise bypass cuts from awkward positions. That reduces twisting stress on the pole and lets you keep both feet on the ground while working higher in the tree.

• Swivels to align blade with branch angle for straighter cuts
• Helps approach stems from the side or top without repositioning the pole
• Improves leverage for consistent bypass shearing on live wood

What kind of branches will these loppers cut?

Designed as bypass shears, the sharp jaws slice through stems up to roughly 1-3/8 inches in diameter, depending on species and wood hardness. For dense hardwoods you may need smaller, incremental cuts; for softer or recently dead branches it handles larger diameters more easily.

• Suitable for pruning live branches, hedging and light limb removal
• Best performance on branches under 1.375" diameter
• Bypass blade design promotes healthier branch healing compared to crushing cuts

Is the pole comfortable and easy to manage for long jobs?

Yes—aluminum construction keeps the pruner lightweight while balanced weight distribution reduces arm fatigue. A removable nylon harness clips on for carrying across the shoulder during extended use, and a rear hook helps retrieve and pull down cut branches safely.

• Light aluminum shaft minimizes overall tool weight
• Balanced design improves control when extended overhead
• Removable harness aids transport and reduces strain on long jobs

How do I maintain cutting performance?

Keep blades clean and sharp for accurate cuts: wipe sap and debris after use, lubricate pivot areas, and sharpen or replace blades when nicked. Regular upkeep maximizes cutting life and preserves the pruning action.

• Wipe blades with a solvent or soapy water after pruning sap-covered wood
• Apply light oil to the pivot and rotating head periodically
• Sharpen bypass blades with a fine file or replace if damaged
