How is it different from a height lopper or saw?
While height loppers (e.g. chainsaw telescopic machines) represent a high cutting force, the FELCO 290 is designed for precision pruning and is especially useful where a clean, sharp cut is important - for example in the case of fruit trees during crown molding or health-preserving pruning.
