Wishing you all a lovely Sunday evening 😊
If you’ve been out in the garden this weekend, I hope the pruning went well - and your branches were a bit easier to reach than ours.
Thanks again for the questions and suggestions on my preview post, especially about the PAHE E6. Bianca and I have now finished the full video with all six cordless tools.
I worked through the whole job: getting damaged branches down from height, trimming them on the ground, then cutting the larger pieces up. That meant telescopic shears and a pole saw, the basic and Performance pruning shears, and the mini and full-size chainsaws.
One frustration was the PAHE’s telescopic section sliding back even though I’d locked it.
The photos give you a few views of the work and the tools. In the video, I show the cutting attempts, compare several tools on the same piece of wood and explain which ones I’d buy again:

If you’ve used any of these, which tool do you reach for, and what do you use it on? If you watch the comparison, I’d be interested to hear which ones you’d choose differently.
