Craftsman Pump N Cut Ropeless Tree Pruner —
We stumbled upon this tree pruner by accident at our local Sears -- we weren't looking for one, but when we saw it we thought "maybe this can help trim a frew branches back". Did it ever! Within the first weekend of buying it we went "tree crazy" and really trimmed the yard up.
The #1 thing I like about this, and what convinced us to buy it there on the spot, was that its covered by the lifetime Craftsman warranty. If it breaks or fails to perform in any way, just take it back to Sears and they will replace it -- no questions asked.
Now onto its performance...
You should know this will take a little time to get used to. I think most of the negative reviews on here were from people who thought they could master it within 30 minutes of taking it out of the packaging. Because it extends to such a long length, you really have to learn how to balance this thing. It will take a good hour or two before you master it.
We found the saw part of the pruner to be more than adequate. It really help cut down some larger branches we just thought would be too much for it. The saw and pruners need to be maintained (give them a good oiling every 3rd use and keep them clean), but other than that the unit is pretty much "what you see is what you get".
I really like it, and my only suggestion to make it better would be to put some sort of rope guide near the top to help keep the rope out of the way of the pruner. Other than that, a great product and I have no doubt we'll get years and years of use out of this outdoor gadget!
