I assume it depends on the 100lb person. Based on reading 6 pages of the reviews, elderly people seem to like it.

Yes, you could use it for it but only if the blades of the pruning shears are as thin as a chef's knife.

It is powerful enough to move a pile of leaves. Haven't used it much with wet leaves so can't really say how well it performs there - I don't think it would have a problem with wet leaves. As far as it being compared to Stihl, I haven't used that brand but they all have ratings for how much air they move. You could go by that to compare.

It's quite small, with a very small blade. I would use something with a longer blade for pruning rose bushes.

It trims pretty good as long as you have a good blade in it. I have went through 4x4 post and oak pallets with it. As long as you are just pruning (3-4' branches) it will get the job done. If you plan to do any real tree cutting I would say get a chainsaw.

I am not sure. I have had great success cutting branches as large as my thumb & those about an inch- with ease.

Edith,I took a hacksaw and cut off 2 1/2 inches. I use a 34 1/2 inch cane. It was easy as pie. If you know someone with a band saw, it would make it easier. I love the cane. It is one of my favorites to use. It makes a statement without drawing too much attention to you.Steve

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

Yes, very easy, a light weight pair of scissors works, no need of any heavy duty cutter.

Yes but honestly practice is going to be needed before you get a straight cut. I believe a second person would make it a lot neater too. I've not taken the time to master this yet.

I use mine with a still bushwhacker, I would imagine this would work with a pole pruner. The only issue I see is reaching up to trim trees or high hedges might be awkward.

I have only used on @1-inch branches but it should cut larger pieces with the ratchet making it easier than you would expect.

Susan, I would also say no. This type of pruning saw is primarily for trimming landscape tree limbs or pine/spruce trees. The blade is very aggressive. Arborvitae have no "limbs" per se. The type of pole you're looking for would have a lopping blade at the end with an extended trigger or rope to snap closed when pulled. Something like Fiskars model 9240 Telescoping pruning pole (on Amazon's site) would work well.

anything below 60 is going to be realllllllly slow.... my stihl 362 is 59 and any smaller would be not worth it it seems. A rip chain really does help a lot. the oregon one works fine

The Fiskars extendable pruner is a bypass pruner. It is a quality product that cuts extremely well and is not too heavy to use for long periods of time.

Absolutely, just put a pruning blade in it. I do it all the time on my farm. Goes through small limbs easily

This pruner has held up beautifully for me, stays sharp, and cuts through branches up to around 1" in diameter. I love this thing. This is worlds beyond the Fiskar long-handled pruner I used to have-which failed in less than a year. Is it heavy duty? Yes!
