Which models does it compete with?
How to choose, quickly:
Do you also need the anti-cut sensor, beyond the low weight?
- No
- the 8608 is enough: 740 g, the lightest for working overhead on the orchard, batteries shared with the PRU-30, PRU-36 and the CS-1 pruner.
- Yes
- the PRU-36 adds the anti-cut sensor and 900W on 36 mm, 810 g, for working on young olive trees too, besides the orchard, with the same 16.8V battery.
RECOMMENDED USE
8608 35MM740 grams: the lightest for those who prune the orchard.
On apple and pear you work with your arms up: the weight becomes the problem before the branch does. This one weighs 740 and holds out for 8-10 hours. Its batteries also fit the PRU-30, the PRU-36, the CS-1 chainsaw pruner and the tying machine.

Over to our customers
Shears bought for vineyard pruning. Fast, extremely light, compact. Few words to describe truly spectacular shears.
Everything perfect, top service and top tool.
I use them as a hobbyist to prune about 75 olive trees and I must say that for value for money they are the best on the market: excellent, extremely light and fast. With one 4 Ah battery I did 5 hours of work.

Shears bought for vineyard pruning. Fast, extremely light, compact. Few words to describe truly spectacular shears.
Everything perfect, top service and top tool.
I use them as a hobbyist to prune about 75 olive trees and I must say that for value for money they are the best on the market: excellent, extremely light and fast. With one 4 Ah battery I did 5 hours of work.
Excellent shears, the perfect compromise between the small 28 and the big 40. I do everything with them: vineyard and small olive branches for cleaning out the inside of the tree.
Excellent product.
Excellent shears, light and easy to handle: they cut hard wood with ease. I highly recommend them, I'm very satisfied.
Excellent product.

Really excellent. The batteries last a long time, it's pleasant to use and very powerful. I use it professionally.

Frequently asked questions
People also ask
For what use is the 8608 35MM recommended?
With its 35mm opening, it is ideal for experienced users who want a good compromise between power, practicality and comfort.
The difference from other similar models?
The PRU-36 raises the bar: a professional shear with a slightly larger opening, designed for those who work mixed orchard/young olive grove crops and want more versatility.
I work with both orchards and olive groves, which pruning shears do you recommend?
If the olive grove is young, the 8608 35mm is perfect: sufficient power for fruit and medium branches, and it's specifically designed for orchards.
However, if the olive grove is large or has mature trees with thick branches, the 40 is better: you can use it just as effectively in orchards, but it has more power and a wider opening so you don't get "stuck" in the olive grove.
Is it compatible with the telescopic pole?
And if you put together the shears + pole + pruner kit, you get an automatic 10% discount on every item; message us on WhatsApp for help choosing the best configuration.
