Granny's gone and done it again

I have some similar to that. They're for very light work. Like for pruning roses. Definitely not tree limbs!

what do you use for small limbs?

We had a light drizzle most of the day, then more of a downpour this afternoon and evening. But it was peaceful. No thundrr, no wild wind. And my fibro and arthritis didn't bother me at all! Not like yesterday. Must have more to do with atmospheric pressure. No rain at all yesterday. But misery.

Long-handled nippers. Let me see if I can find a picture. I don't have hand strength to cut limbs with those little ones, and they aren't designed for limbs anyway. Stand by.

they say limbs up to one inch. I dont know if thats means across or around.

Okay, i hope i have a good enough connection to post these. If not, google tree trimmers or limb loppers. This one is about $60. Has 28" long handles but curved jaws only about 4" deep. I can cut branches about twice as thick as my thumb, DH is stronger and can cut bigger branches than that. Not wrist-sized, but maybe half that. Okay, will try to post pic separately.

The one on the right is very good for shaping shrubs.
