Battery-powered, cordless secateurs and pruners, or electric pruning shears as they are sometimes known, are the new must-have garden equipment.

If you enjoy snipping and pruning in your garden, then these tools are perfect for you. If you suffer from arthritis, an old injury, or simply can’t find the strength anymore, using manual secateurs might be a challenge when dealing with thick branches and deadheading.

How long would a single charge of a cordless pruner last?

Powered pruners have a small lithium-ion battery that can be charged through USB or a compact plug-in charger, depending on the model. A lithium-ion battery is ideal since it seldom loses charge when not in use, ensuring that it is constantly available for use. Most models have a runtime of about 30 minutes, which equates to about 400 snips! This is plenty of time to prune your fruit trees, roses, and bushes.
