In fact, we’ve recently introduced some new products in our B2B lineup from the well-known Forestal brand, specifically battery-powered shears and electric pruners.
In this article, we’ll take a detailed look at the new EX400 battery-powered electronic shears and the new Forestal FOR 8100 pruner, as well as a little “gem” to make your battery-powered tools even more versatile.

FOR 8100 Electric Pruner
Sabart expands its Forestal Extreme Line range with the new FOR 8100 cordless pruner, designed to deliver high performance and maximum precision for pruning and landscaping tasks.
With 600 W of power and a 20V voltage, the FOR 8100 is the ideal tool for those seeking fast, clean, and safe cuts.
The 1/4” – 1.1 mm (47-link) chain and 8” (20 cm) bar ensure optimal cutting capacity even on the thickest branches.
Automatic lubrication simplifies maintenance and extends the machine’s service life.
The auxiliary handle allows for comfortable two-handed operation, reducing fatigue and increasing stability during use.
The integrated display allows you to monitor the battery charge level and operating hours in real time, for constant performance monitoring.
Dual safety switch, integrated oil reservoir with visible level indicator, and case included, ensuring practical and reliable use even in the field.
The pruner is equipped with the 20V – 4Ah EVO2 battery (not included) and, weighing just 1.6 kg, combines compactness, balance, and maneuverability in a robust and well-balanced design.
Battery adapters
Sabart’s line of products for cordless tools also includes a series of 7 adapters for 18V lithium-ion batteries.
Given the now widespread use of cordless and portable power tools, these adapters convert lithium-ion batteries to allow them to be used with battery-powered tools from other brands.
This way, even those who own numerous Forestal-brand tools are not forced to purchase additional batteries for tools from other brands, allowing them to further enjoy the extreme power and long runtime of Forestal batteries.
Be sure, however, to use the adapter only with compatible tools and to remove it before charging the battery.
