Electric pruning shears

Has anyone used electric pruning shears? Any brands to recommend? Do you use them exclusively or as a backup for tougher cuts?

Hi Frank,

I sometimes use Felco cordless pruners, for large garden pruning.It makes for quick work but the device is heavy. If you are prone to distractions, you may lose a finger. If you want to see what price Arlington Rose Foundation can get through our Country Store, just let me know. Go to pygar website for model number.

Pam, thank you for the response. Yes, I am very concerned about the weight of any electric pruner. In the current ARS Annual, there is a mention of the Zenport EP 108. It is advertised as lightweight. But I checked, and it is not cheap, about $350 to $400. Ideally, I would like something that is both lightweight and inexpensive. To me, a heavy instrument can make my hand as weary as when making many cuts by hand.
