They are not glamorous. They are not glitzy. They are quickly zooming to the top of the best purchase list for 2024. The Kebtek Cordless Pruning Shears deliver as promised and will land on your 'why did I wait so long to purchase' list.
Lightweight
One of the reasons I purchased this brand were the reviews praising the weight of the shears. Over 1,000 reviews with a 5/5 rating. Lightweight is however subjective; the battery adds weight of course to the shears, but overall the shears can be easily used and lifted for high branch trimming.
Sharp
Wow! The shears are very sharp and easily with little effort can trim larger branches. I can see the pruners already easily handling trimming larger diameter branches where the lopper was used.
Two Batteries
I appreciate the two rechargeable batteries included with the shears. I have found one battery easily lasts for a day of casual yard trimming; always great to have a spare charging and ready to go.
Price Point
Shopping online I used a $10 off coupon to decrease the price to make the purchase more economical.
Carrying Case
Very easy to store the pruning shears and batteries in the easy to use carry case. Tuck the shears away and store neatly with the batteries tucked away. The orange carrying case ensures the case is easily spotted in the garage!
Recommendation
The cordless pruning shears are a great gift for the gardener or landscaper in the family. Also a very practical gift to make life easier for the I'm landscaping because I have to family member. Or treat yourself!

Some time ago I bought my first cordless DeWalt tools. They have been
reliable and durable for all these years. Imagine my delight when my son
gifted me with two more Dewalt tools (a cordless chainsaw and pruner) for
Mother's Day. The DeWalt Pruner has been far more useful than I had imagined
and I highly recommend it.
DeWalt 20v Max Cordless Pruner
In just a few short months, I have put this pruner to good use in my yard
and my woods. The blades are a really good size for trimming woody stems and
small branches. I have not noticed any dulling of the blades.
My Pruner was the "tool only" option which did not include the battery or
the battery charger. It does include a blade sheath and the wrench/tool that
would be useful if I ever need to replace the blades. There are options with
the pruner, battery, and battery charger included for folks who would need
the set.
Some specifications:
non-stick coated blades
blade gap of 1.5 inches (Maximum cut diameter 1.5 inches)
60 cut strokes per minute - 1 cut per second
powered by the DeWalt 20V battery (may or may not be included)
built in LED light
weighs 3 lbs
covered by warranty (3 year limited warranty, 1 year free service, 90 day
money back guarantee - see website for details)
My Thoughts About the DeWalt 20v Max Cordless Pruner
I already mentioned that I like DeWalt brand tools and have had good luck
with their durability and ease of use. I have the perception that many
cordless tools are not as powerful as gas-powered or corded electric tools.
However, my DeWalt circular saw and drill started to change my mind. Yet I
was still very surprised the first time I pulled the trigger on the pruner
and the blades literally slammed shut.
Having issues with weak hands ergonomics related to grips and triggers are
important to me. Fortunately, the handle seems just right and the trigger
pulls easily. In my opinion, it is a plus that your hand must be fully on
the tool and engaging what appears to be a safety switch before the pruner
blades will shut. I appreciate those types of safety features. Someone may
wonder whether the 3 lb weight is prohibitive for someone with weak hands.
Yes, the tool feels hefty but no, it's not a problem. Personally, I have far
more difficulty squeezing manual pruners (both small hand-held pruners and
larger loppers) together than I do holding this DeWalt Pruner up.
I want to also mention that the manual available for download online. The
pruner came with a manual but in the event your manual becomes lost or
ruined, the online version is easy to find and download.
This pruner is an excellent tool and would be a perfect investment for
yourself or a gift for a landowner.

day I received my Mother's Day gifts: the DeWalt cordless chainsaw and
DeWalt cordless pruner. My first impressions and first cutting.
