Retrieving Shears

Abstract

The present invention is an improved pruning device which is capable cutting and/or retrieving or collecting items without such items being damaged or falling on the user or out of his/her reach. Thus, items which are beyond the reach of a user may thus be easily retrieved both in high or hard to reach areas, whether by distance or hazard (thorns, uneven surfaces, irritants, etc.).
