New Extended Reach Lawn, Garden and Landscaping Tools Make Yardwork Jobs Easier

(HIT) - Homeowners who maintain their own yards are always trimming a little here and pruning a little there. But every year hedges grow larger, shrubs get bigger and trees grow taller, so sometimes it's tough to reach up to the branches that need to be trimmed. And as homeowners age, bending down to use conventional line trimmers and edgers can be a real pain in the back.

The folks at Mantis, makers of the famous Mantis Tiller/Cultivator, have just introduced an ingenious new set of extended reach power tools that make maintaining a home landscape easier than ever.



	The new E-System from Mantis makes it easy to reach high into trees to trim branches. The E-System Power Head features an electric motor that packs plenty of cutting power.

The Mantis E-System is a revolutionary extended reach solution that incorporates four separate yard and garden power tools into one easy-to-use system. Four different attachments snap into the electric Power Head—a Hedge Trimmer, Pruner, Line Trimmer and Edger. Just plug in the ergonomic Power Head and you're ready to handle a wide variety of lawn and landscape jobs. The Mantis E-System is so unique that it received an MGA Green Thumb Award from the Mailorder Gardening Association as one of the best new gardening products for 2006.

The E-System Power Head has a 36-inch-long shaft that lets you easily reach up into tall trees or down to low-growing groundcovers. The Power Head features an 850-watt electric motor that packs plenty of power. A handy shoulder harness makes it easy to hold and maneuver the Power Head in any cutting position.

Snap on the E-System Pruner Attachment and you can easily reach tall tree branches. It's like having a chain saw on an extended reach pole, enabling you to cut branches up to four inches thick.

The Hedge Trimmer Extended Reach Attachment features dual-reciprocating hardened steel blades that can easily cut branches up to 3/8 inches thick. The articulating blade adjusts in a 180-degree range of positions for fast cutting at virtually any cutting angle. A quick-release lever makes it easy to adjust the blade angle.

The Line Trimmer Attachment makes it easy to cut the grass that your mower can't reach. Just snap the Line Trimmer Attachment onto the E-System Power Head and you can quickly trim along pathways, around trees and anywhere your mower can't reach.

Snap on the E-System Edger Attachment for effortless edging along sidewalks and driveways. The E-System is designed to keep the weight distributed so the Edger Attachment rolls along smoothly. The steel cutting blade is protected by a steel blade guard for optimum operator safety.

The Mantis E-System extended reach gardening components are all available separately, so you can assemble the perfect set of electric power tools for your needs. The E-System Power Head sells for $99, and each of the four attachments sells for $79. The Mantis E-System is available exclusively from Mantis, 1-800-366-6268, www.mantis.com.
