1. 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.
