– WORKPRO 7.2 V Cordless Electric Pruning Shears with SK5 Blade

These only arrived this morning, but I've already tried them & am most impressed with them. When young, I could use secateurs and/or other implements requiring constant squeezing for hours with little to no ill-effects. At over 60, more than a few minutes of this kind of thing now leaves me with a hand that aches for hours afterwards.....a sign of impending arthritis, I suppose. These are nicely lightweight & well-balanced, and make trimming in the garden a pleasure once again. No idea yet of what the battery life will be like, but upon receipt I gave them a short charge to bring them up to full capacity. And, talking of which..... I just want to address the charging issue, which I notice a lot of people have questioned. DO be aware that these don't come with a separate charger - which many are used to; instead, they come with a USB-A to USB-C lead. This is nothing to fret over, because toward the back of the user manual it clearly states that ANY modern phone charger will charge these power secateurs. Almost all modern phone chargers come with a USB port, into which you plug a supplied lead that terminates in a USB-C connector.....and 5V/1A on the output side is pretty much universal. This is the stated requirement from the manufacturer. Most desktop PCs can also supply sufficient current through, say, a USB-3 port. To receive rechargeable items with only a lead supplied is becoming normal practice now.....after all, the USB standard has been around for almost 30 years now, and it's a rare household that hasn't got at least some kind of suitable charger with a USB output socket. It's progress (so they say)..! A supplied charger tends to be the province of larger power tools these days. I purchased a Black & Decker power screwdriver the year before last.....which also simply came with a lead. I've had a "universal" USB charger for many years, which I bought from our local Pound Shop, and this has proved to be the best £1 investment I ever made... Mike.

Easy to use. Better than expected for the prce

Excellent. Cuts through tougher branches.

I bought this November 2025. At first it was brilliant. I trimmed a few bushes and then I recharged and cleaned it and packed it away for the winter. I took it out 2 weeks ago and gave it a charge and trimmed a bush. Then it just locked the blades and won’t work. It is fully charged up and I have oiled the blades but still nothing. It is very disappointing so don’t waste your money on this.

An absolute game changer for my mums gardening. Having arthritis is no fun but losing the ability to do her own gardening was heartbreaking but this little gadget saved the day. Its now her favourite tool. I must admit. I enjoyed playing with it too. Its very powerful and a full charge lasts ages. Easily a 10/10

Not a bad bit of kit to be fair, for the price it cuts great just what I was looking for , first day I plugged this in to charge to find out it was already charged, used it none stop on the first day for at least 4 hours of continuous use never let me down still gave charge in it to go another 4 hours I’m sure

Very good easy to use

I like the Quality of these they have gotten through a lot of trimming branches this year. The only thing I find annoying you have to hold in the trigger before you press the cut button or they won’t cut. Health and safety I suppose.
