The pruner is serious construction and once the Gmax 40v battery inserted, it is well balanced. Wireless use is its main advantage but at a cost. By adding the battery and battery charger large, one is 2x more expensive than wired pruner a good brand. If one needs several tools for her garden (chainsaw, hedge trimmer or blower), this concept is a good choice. Otherwise, the pruner with its battery costs about 250 euros, and it's really expensive for this type of product.
