damn duckie i need to get my garden tools and head to AUS ! like you could use a bushman to clear some jungle ? but you did turn me onto a cool garden tool. not ryobi but probably better ?

Next you'll be trying to tidy up the  Serengeti!

No doubt about the pruners!  My 1st. Ryobi was an impulse buy, the second was an essential upgrade.  Now that I have a few DeW batteries, if it needed replacement, I probably would choose the DeW... Unfortunately a lot of your Yankeeland availabilities are unavailable or 2b in the future... much like the Shaper Origin which will be released in Aussieland next month (Feb 2024) just a tad later than you side of my planet.

I have probably made 20+ pens out of rose clippings in the past and probably close to the same out of BOOMBYs and/or similar timber that my woodworking buddies have made furniture for themselves/family/clients.  A free slimline (UGH! only time I ever use them) goes down well for goodwill. 

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
