Would Not RecommendThey say lifetime guarantee, hah, they didn’t make it through one small bush trimming. After finishing, they did not want to close so I could lock them. I had to force them closed and pinched my finger. I returned them. Disappointed. Usually I’ve always had good experiences with this brand, not this time.

Look for other products for doing your pruning
Would Not Recommendthe product worked well at first for trimming small wood branches but after trimming about 20 branches now the hand pruner will not close and lock without some assistance and at a risk of cutting my fingers while trying to get it to close. BAD DESIGN/BAD QUALITY I would not recommend this product

Worthless
Would Not RecommendI bought these pruners 6 days ago and have used them only a few times, or tried to use them. As stated by another reviewer, the pruners now will not close all the way making them useless to prune. Of course, they will also not lock. A total waste of money.
We regret to hear the pruners are not closing properly so soon after purchase. This is not the experience we aim to provide. If you feel this was cau...
Hand Pruner Tool
Would RecommendComfortable to handle, good mechanical advantage, and quite reliable to hold onto to avoid dropping. Like any cutting tool, it must be sharpened periodically, just like your kitchen knives. Tools like this would best be sold with a file to remind users to file the cutting blade before each use, just as you would steel a kitchen knife before each use. Very handy for pruning rose bush deadheads.

Blade unusably soft
Would Not RecommendFirst cut out of the box on a small branch bent the edge of the blade and made it unusable. Used a file to fix it, immediately bent again.
That’s not the experience we want you to have. The blade should handle small branches without issue, so what you described isn’t typical. If you fee...
While this one missed the mark, we value your past trust in the brand and hope a future tool restores your confidence.
