Ultralight pruners

[Triplebhunters]

Any reccomendation for ultralight pruners. My heavy pair mysteriously disappeared this summer ;-(.
Gives me a reason to shop for a new pair.

Multitask.... I use my hunting knife on limbs up to 1.5 inches. Mostly pine so it is soft. My knife was still sharp enough to quarter my elk without sharpening.

Gerber makes a set of folding pruners. I was skeptical but for $20.00 they are an outstanding product. They fold up to a small size that fits in a nice nylon case with belt loop. So far these have been on five scouting/trail cutting trips without fail. I use them for cutting alder and doug fir limbs up to 1 1/2. The small stuff is a breeze, the 1 1/2 inch stuff takes a couple of positions to get it cut but it gets the job done.

For small stuff I use a pair of Fiskars bypass pruners. There are a few "multitool" with a pruner head but the high quaity ones are no longer being made....unless someone knows of a good pair?


Here is a link to an amazon listing for the folding pruner for the big stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-31-000229- ... B002R3LZ1Q
