This hand pruner conserves energy - mine!

Details

Scads, & more!, of hedge "limbs," monster berry canes & oodles of low, skinny, laurel wanna-be limbs vs one little old lady with too much yard. Cut, stack & let dry a bit - than cut each into disposal container size...voila! Saved dump fees, extra disposal container fees & most importantly, these pruners save 75% of my energy output.

Regular pruning also helps promote healthier shrubs that produce more blooms.
