The aluminum Telescoping Cut-and-Hold Pruner is designed to enable one to harvest tree fruit or prune back high branches without the assistance of ladder or lift equipment. Weighing 30 ounces and telescoping out 6.5 feet (extending one's reach up to 15 feet), it can reportedly cut branches, vines, and stems up to 3/8 inch in diameter then holds what has been cut off. Among the other features are a 180 degree rotating soft-grip handle to allow for best cutting position and a sliding rubber sleeve to help maximize hand comfort of the user and support of the tool.
