    So I got a nice arthritic pain in my right hand and prunning and teimming became unpleasant. Found a Scotts cordless pruner and ordered it. Ergonomics are a bit funny but it works. Trimming the crab apple beanches was fun and fast. Will have extended test data after fall trim, but so far its great.

    Please share a link. Arthritis in my thumbs has become a problem. I've used loppers for things I would normally cut off with hand pruners, but it requires more overall effort.

    Gladly. I got this model available on Amazon and at HD.
    Scotts Outdoor Power Tools PR17215S 7.2-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Rechargeable Power Pruner. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J5HJZRM

    My search found only two non professional pruners available for sale, the Scotts and a Ryobi made for the Japaneese market, both under $100. I also found commercial grade pruners but those were $1k+ range.

    I performed all of my own stunts. I did stupid stuff (Don't try this at home!) before there were cameras to record it (and I can still deny it). Continued to play competitive sports while injured. Rebuilt shoulder, spinal fusions with peripheral nerve damage, but still have my own teeth with no crowns.

    Broken before my time...

    If you want to know if the weather is changing, just ask.

    Yep, my arthritic joints and other injuries are from stupid stuff as a kid. The two joints on the right hand are from: 1) middle school fight where I caught the guys tooth in my finger joint. 2) from evaluating the structural integrity of a 4x4 post with my knuckles.

    Then there are sports and stupid activities...

    I've sustained damage too but I rarely whinge about it.
