The first impression
Packaging and contents
ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

| Total | 98 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The telescopic pruning shears from GOODS+GADGETS® impress with their solid product protection. However, it is noticeable that additional plastic film has been used to protect the handles, which can be seen as unnecessary and somewhat limits the sustainability of the packaging. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that the cardboard used is recyclable , which is a positive step towards environmental friendliness.
The pruning shears with telescopic handle allow branches up to 45 mm thick to be cut and can be adjusted to individual requirements thanks to the extendable length of 73 to 95 cm.
Weighing just 1.1 kg, they are comfortable to hold and allow you to work comfortably. The anvil pruning system ensures a clean cut without jamming, which further underlines the quality of the product.
The intuitive operation of the pruning shears makes an instruction manual superfluous.

This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting performance | Is possible up to approx. 35 mm very well and without great effort | 90 points |
| Adjustable telescopic handle | Very easily adjustable | 100 points |
| Weight | 1.1 kg, good weight | 100 points |
| Cutting quality | Clean and precise cut | 100 points |
| Material quality | Good material | 90 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The cutting performance of the telescopic pruning shears from GOODS+GADGETS® is good overall and enables branches up to 35 mm thick to be cut effortlessly. However, more force is required for thicker branches as the shears do not have a ratchet system.
The telescopic handles are very quick and easy to adjust. However, the locks that secure the telescopic arm should be made of more robust material to ensure long-term stability.
Another aspect that needs to be emphasized in our test is that the extended telescopic arm can bend if too much force is applied. Care must therefore be taken with particularly thick branches to avoid damaging the telescopic handle.
A major advantage of the loppers is their optimum weight, which makes them comfortable to handle and reduces strain on the arms. As a result, they are also suitable for long periods of work in the garden without tiring.
The cutting quality of the telescopic pruning shears from GOODS+GADGETS® is particularly noteworthy. The multi-hardened blade proves to be extremely durable and delivers a clean result with every cut. This minimizes the risk of injury to trees and shrubs and supports gentle plant care.
In terms of material quality , the pruning shears are impressive overall. The multi-hardened blade and the telescopic handle made of aluminum with Teflon coating promise a long service life. In addition, the non-slip rubber handles ensure safe and comfortable handling of the pruning shears.
Overall, the telescopic pruning shears from GOODS+GADGETS® keep most of their advertising promises and present themselves as a reliable garden tool with a number of positive features. However, care should be taken with very thick branches so as not to jeopardize the stability of the telescopic arm.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Appropriate | 80 points |
| Rating cut | 3.6 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 30 points |
| Total | 55 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 3.6 stars. Customers praise the high robustness and sharpness of the blade, whereas some complain that the telescopic handle can bend if used too much. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the positive customer reviews, but the stability of the telescopic handles should be improved in order to further optimize the product.
