Abstract
A pruner includes a stationary unit, a movable unit, and a driving unit, wherein the stationary unit is pivotally connected to the movable unit, and the movable unit is pivotally connected to the driving unit. The pruner is operated by a geared mechanism wherein movement of a second handle on the driving unit drives movement of a second blade on the movable unit towards a first blade on the stationary unit through engagement of a second transmission gear on the driving unit with a first transmission gear on the stationary unit. The pruner further includes a first sliding groove on the stationary unit, a second sliding groove on the movable unit, and a variable gate opening button penetrating the sliding grooves. The configuration allows for adjustment of the span between the handles by setting the variable gate opening button at different positions of the first sliding groove.
