What are your best orchard tools?

If I recall correctly, those Stihl pruners are re-badged ARS.

Maybe, dunno. If ARS is cheaper, I should buy them. I’m not familiar with ARS.

Looked them up.

ARS is a few dollars more at. A.M. Leonard.

They are cheaper here…

This is very useful. It is a boat hook. It attaches to a retractable painting pole. I can pull down branches stuck up in the tree when pruning.

Wooster Sherlock painting poles are great for the hook or for fruit harvesters.

Rebar tying tool is great for tying stainless wires on T-posts for securing the deer cages.
