Pruner

A pruner comprising:

• a pruning mechanism including a pruning blade on a tip side and a gearbox mechanically connected to the pruning blade;
• a pole connected to a base side of the pruning mechanism;
• a hook mechanism including a hook that projects to a lateral side substantially orthogonal to a central axis of the pole and that is displaceable in a range from a first position where an end portion is away from the central axis to a second position where the end portion is close to the central axis;
• and
• a leg portion projecting to the lateral side of the pole,
• wherein the hook is configured to:
• keep the first position when first external force in a direction from the base side toward the tip side is applied,
• be displaced from the first position to the second position when second external force in a direction from the tip side toward the base side and/or a direction from the lateral side toward the central axis is applied,
• the hook at the second position and the leg portion are configured to support the pruner when the pruner is placed on a ground or a mount stand, and
• the leg portion projects from a first part of the gearbox, and the hook projects from a second part, which is different from the first part, of the gearbox.
