The Bartlett pruner head takes a big bite (a whopping 1 3/4") , but does it in the same overall space as a small head pruner.
The Bartlett pruner head was designed to solve the problem of users who wanted a larger cut, but did not want a long armature that would get tangled in heavy growth. So the Bartlett pruner head was designed to be as maneuverable as a small head pruner, but with the 1-3/4 inch cutting capacity of the large head pruners.
The hook is made of forged steel for durability, and since the Bartlett Bull Head Pruner was designed to fit on the same components that the Notch/Marvin heads fit, you're all set!
If you need the compactness of a small head, but with the ability to cut it big, then the Bartlett Bull Head Pruner is just the right Pruner for you!.
