Pomaria Duo cordless pruner and grafting set, 20 pieces

The pruning shear has a brushless motor that closes the blade for you: you press the trigger with one finger and the hand stays open. It weighs 800 g with the battery, which sits in the handle so the weight stays close to your hand. It cuts green wood up to 4 cm in one go and thicker dry wood in two passes, with an SK5 steel bypass blade that cuts clean instead of crushing the bark. The trigger is progressive, the blade opens in three steps for thin shoots, and a double-tap lock keeps it safe; let go and the blade stops and opens.

Two 21 V max (18 V nominal) 2.0 Ah batteries give about 3,000 cuts per charge and up to 8 hours of work together, and one recharges in about 45 minutes while you use the other. The display shows the charge left and the cuts made.

The grafting tool has an aluminium body and steel levers, so it does not flex on a branch at its limit. Its omega blade cuts the scion and the rootstock to the same shape, so the two pieces slot into each other and the barks meet; the V and U blades cover cleft grafts and thin shoots, and three spare blades are included. Grafting tape, copper grafting paste, gloves, a belt holster, a sharpening stone, a spare pruner blade and an illustrated guide come in the fitted case. Every piece is covered by the 24-month legal guarantee.
