Pruning, as I may have mentioned previously, is one of the tougher jobs in the vineyard. Faced with pruning as many as 20000 vines over a 2-3 month period in winter can be a real challenge. Sore backs, arms and wrists are all common ailments.
So despite the somewhat hefty pricetag, electric pruners such as the one above, can be a real lifesaver. The battery pack lasts at least a full day, they are light to hold and easy to use. In addition, a person pruning is generally able to prune more vines and be less physically affected by the end of it all.
