Quick questions about the comparison

Does the PRU-45 PLUS differ from the PRU-40?
Yes. They are two shears with different intended uses: the PRU-40 is more balanced and handy for pure olive grove work, while the PRU-45 PLUS is for those who often encounter extreme branches and want maximum power and opening. Both are professional-grade shears designed specifically for olive groves.
Is there a big difference in weight between the two?
The PRU-40 weighs about 990 g, and the PRU-45 PLUS about 1050 g. The numbers are close, but in continuous use, the PRU-40 feels "lighter" and smoother, while the 45 PLUS compensates with more power and battery life. The batteries have about 60 grams of difference.
If I often use the telescopic pole, which model is more suitable?
Both are compatible with the same pruning pole. If you often work high up on thick branches, the PRU-45 PLUS gives you more usability margin; if you're looking for maneuverability and precision on canopies, the PRU-40 is super balanced.
Which of the two should I choose then?
If you don't make cuts beyond 40mm on your olive trees, the PRU-40 already handles professional use perfectly. If you know you'll often be working on ancient olive trees and really challenging branches, the PRU-45 PLUS is the more advanced choice and you'll be covered.
