We particularly like the anti-blocking system which, when it can't cut through a branch on the first cut, reverses the cutting direction to protect against blocking. For comfort during use, the cutter has a soft-grip rear handle and an adjustable front handle. We like the blade tip protection system which lets you cut close to walls/floors without having to be concerned about damage.
