How to choose, quickly:
Do you work every day on a real olive grove?
- No
- the 8605 is all you need: 40 mm and 1050 W, the power of a semi-professional at the price of a garden model, blades in coated SK5 steel.
- Yes
- the 8605 PRO has the same power but a professional finish, designed for an olive grove of up to 500 trees, and switches to the 21V battery shared with the pruners.

Over to our customers
We are a pruning contractor: over time we've bought about ten of them from Gardenmac. I'm leaving this review because I set aside a 1,200-euro Pellenc and took these instead. War machines, nothing more to say.
Excellent tool: if I'd known, I would have bought it much sooner.
These are my first electric shears. I was very unsure about buying them, not least because they aren't cheap. Used several times in the woods to clear paths and free the tracks of branches and small plants, the shears surprised me and I was thrilled. I got through several hours of work on just one battery. So for me it's a good product.

We are a pruning contractor: over time we've bought about ten of them from Gardenmac. I'm leaving this review because I set aside a 1,200-euro Pellenc and took these instead. War machines, nothing more to say.
Excellent tool: if I'd known, I would have bought it much sooner.
These are my first electric shears. I was very unsure about buying them, not least because they aren't cheap. Used several times in the woods to clear paths and free the tracks of branches and small plants, the shears surprised me and I was thrilled. I got through several hours of work on just one battery. So for me it's a good product.
I had already bought them 4 years ago, now I've bought the new version of the 8605. In use they have proved unbeatable for value: below this price you find nothing but 30-35 mm shears, and of lower quality. I worked these 40 mm ones like a mule on olive trees for a whole season and they were perfect.
I'm not a professional, but these shears have let me do excellent work with almost no effort. The blades make clean, perfect cuts. Light, fast, ergonomic grip. The battery life is more than excellent: each one works for about 5 hours and recharges quickly.
Thank you.
Truly extraordinary, I recommend it.
Excellent: used all day and the battery still wasn't flat.
A really good item.
A friend recommended them to me for use in a peach orchard and olive grove: they are perfect, I use them 8 hours a day.
Semi-professional shears, but with nothing to envy brands costing 500-600 euros: they do their job admirably.
I bought two, and a friend of mine will soon be getting the third. Excellent.
Gardenmac, you are top: we are about 20 km apart, I contacted them one morning when I urgently needed a blade pin and half an hour later I already had the spare part. Exceptional in everything.
As described, excellent shears: with two batteries you work all day.
All OK. Cuts branches up to 40 mm.
Never was a gift better chosen: my father-in-law is delighted with it.
It does its job very well. No problems with the battery. There are no electronic protections, so watch your fingers.
Well-made shears, powerful, durable and reliable. Recommended, A+++++
Bought recently, but I'm already extremely satisfied. I cut 35-40 mm branches without any difficulty. Unbeatable value for money.
For the high branches I also bought the pole: it fits on fairly easily and does its job. I didn't expect it to be so convenient.
Connected to the cable, the battery lasts all day: when I do longer pruning jobs or work across several trees, the cable proves extremely convenient. I'm happy with the purchase.
Very nice electric pruning shears. They come in a sturdy case, with 2 batteries of 2 Ah, a dual charger, a small tool set for changing the blade and an oiler. A pity they didn't include the oil too: the oiler is empty. Complete instruction booklet, in Italian as well. Be careful: read the instructions properly and always treat these tools with respect, because to them cutting a branch or your finger makes no difference.
Arrived straight away, excellent packaging with a sturdy, well-made case, with all the accessories! Really powerful and versatile. The build materials also seem of excellent quality. Good value for money, I recommend it.
Easy to use. It delivers what it promises. It cuts branches up to 4 cm progressively. The two batteries are very handy. Competitive price compared with other brands with the same features. Durability and reliability over time remain to be seen.
I liked its sturdiness, the battery life, the accessories and its cutting force. Excellent product.
It's simply exceptional: you cut branches like butter and without effort. A professional tool, very well made, excellent packaging.
Excellent pruning shears, they help cut down working time and effort in the cuts. The case contains lots of spare parts.
They work very well, you can prune for a long time on one charge and without fatigue.
Perfect shears for my use: I have a garden with many trees to prune, and they've already been tested the way I wanted. Compact, light, and the battery stays charged. I recommend them: sufficient blade opening, all the acoustic signals perfect. 10 out of 10.
Used a lot, it works well: long-lasting battery.
Really excellent. The batteries last a long time, simple to use and very powerful. For non-professional but still intensive use, and for large-diameter shrubs.
So far I've used them only twice, but very intensively, to prune olive trees. The battery lasted me the whole workday, at least 5 hours. They cut very well and speed up pruning enormously.
