Long-reach-pruning-tools

Long reach garden tools: loppers, fruit pickers and pole saws.

Lakewood Products also sells extension poles for battery powered pruning tools and blossom thinners and long reach pruning shears and chainsaws.

Long reach garden tools provide greater ergonomic comfort by reducing the need to bend or stoop, improving safety by eliminating the use of ladders, and increasing efficiency and accessibility for tasks like pruning or reaching tall plants. They also offer better leverage and control for tough jobs and can improve productivity by covering larger areas quickly. 

The Ergonomics and Comfort of Using Long Loppers and Pole Saws

  • Reduced Strain: Long handles allow you to stand upright, minimizing bending and stooping, which reduces tension and fatigue in your back and knees.
  • Better Posture: They encourage a more comfortable and upright posture while gardening, which is especially beneficial for older gardeners or those with back problems.

Safety

  • Eliminate Ladder Use: Long-reach tools offer stable access to higher areas from the ground, removing the significant risks associated with using ladders. 
  • Protect from Thorns: Tools like fruit pickers keep your hands and arms away from thorny plants, reducing scratches and injuries. 

Long Loppers and Pole Saws Increase Efficiency and Accessibility

  • Increased Reach: The extended handles allow you to reach taller plants or deeper into beds without stretching, improving your work area. 
  • More Work in Less Time: By increasing your reach and making tasks easier, long-handled tools help you complete more work in less time. 
  • Access Hard-to-Reach Areas: They are invaluable for tasks like trimming high hedges, pruning the interior of large bushes, or weeding in dense, thorny plants. 

Increase Power and Control with Long Loppers and Pole Saws 

  • Improved Leverage: The longer handle acts as a lever, transferring and multiplying your energy to the tool head, allowing you to perform tasks with less effort.
  • Better Balance: A well-designed long handle can counterbalance the weight of the tool head, making it less tiring to use over extended periods.
