Every spring, I tell myself pruning will be quick, but every spring, I spend an entire weekend (or two) wrestling with tangled limbs and stubborn branches. Not this year, thanks to Ace Hardware’s spring sale. This time, I’m speeding things up with a compact, cordless pruner that looks like a mini chainsaw and cuts like one, too. Right now, when you buy the Stihl GTA 26 Cordless Pruner Kit for $179.99, you’ll get a second Stihl AS 2 battery free, that’s a $60 value on top of the battery already in the kit.

This little power tool is easy to handle, but don’t underestimate what it can do. Its 4-inch chain bar makes clean cuts through soft branches up to 2 to 4 inches thick. The GTA 26 cordless pruning saw comes with a 10.8V rechargeable battery, a removable blade guard, a charger, and a sturdy storage case. With the extra free battery, you’ll get double the runtime right out of the box. 

Stihl has long been the go-to brand for pros who need powerful, hard-working tools. However, they’ve also earned a loyal following among DIYers who want serious performance in a more compact, easy-to-handle package. If you’re like me and ready to upgrade your backyard pruning setup, this limited–time offer is just the ticket.
