Hedger/Trimmer Tool from Yardshark
Yardshark tools are made from high-carbon Japanese steel, double-tempered using a pressed steel technology that creates a super-sharp blade that stays sharp longer. The oval handles are aluminum and have a soft elastomer grip for comfort. (Frankly, I don't know what that is but it sounds nice.) This particular tool has a flip-lock mechanism that allows it to extend from 31 to 46 inches so it can be used for hedge trimming, pruning high tree branches up to 3/8", and for trimming the inside of thorny bushes and other tasks. Along with a hand pruner and tree saw, it would make a versatile set of handy tools.
