With the help of the particularly comfortable and powerful Gardena Comfort Ratchet Pruner SmartCut, thicker branches and twigs can be cut extremely easily and ergonomically. Depending on the branch diameter, the ratchet function can be activated (PowerPlus), allowing for thicker branches to be trimmed just as easily and comfortably. This is made possible by the ratchet mechanism that works "in three strokes." The blades of the pruner are precision-ground, and the upper blade is additionally coated with a non-stick surface. The aluminum comfort handle with soft components fits particularly well in the hand. With the one-handed safety lock, the pruner can be easily secured and stored safely. The Comfort Ratchet Pruner can cut branches with a maximum diameter of 25 mm.
