GARDEN GURU Classic Bypass Pruning Shears Clippers – Heavy Duty Forged Steel Garden Pruners – Safety Lock – Non Slip Comfort Grips – Cuts up to 1” Diameter – Professional Bypass Pruners for Gardening

The house I live in has a ridiculous amount of greenery (apparently someone that used to live here was *really* into gardening) and it requires maintanence. If I let things go for too long without trimming, the outside of our house starts to look like we have been playing Jumanji in here. Ive learned quite a lot about gardening in the years since we moved in and many tools have been sacrificed in the process. I'm a cheapskate but I hate replacing tools and after burning through 3 or 4 sets of pruning shears in the first year I decided to try these and I am soooo glad that I did! These shears are durable! The dozens of rose bushes that line the fence around my yard are no match for these shears! I don't even really take care of these as much as I should but they still show no signs of rust, the open and close smooth and easy like they should, and the blade sharpens up like a dream and stays sharp for quite a bit of snipping. It makes clean cuts and even allows me to cut through some pretty sizeable woody rose branches without much effort. These are very good quality shears at a great price. They have served me well for a couple of years now. I highly recommend this pruner!

I just wanted to add my comments to say this Pruner has a great feel to it, it is heavy duty, and I wished I had splurged and bought a nice tool like this years ago. I just like the way this tool feels in my hands, but beware it is sharp, and should serve me well for years. I am not certain but it is almost 100% metal, no plastic that I can recall to break or crack, and this has served me well so far, and should serve me well for years if I take care of it. The clasp that keeps it locked is even metal. I always recall my parents telling me not to skimp on certain things - like tools such as this. You want a sharp cut, you want it to be reliable, and feel like quality in your hands. I would recommend it to anyone with the caveat that it should be kept away from kids, as it is as sharp as it looks.

I just received my order & used it for the 1st time yesterday. It cuts incredibly well & worked flawlessly. The pruner is heavy duty, unlike many of the generic stuff sold in local stores & I expect it to last a long time. Although the grip is comfortable, in my opinion, it could pose a problem for people with smaller hands. For these people, the curved design of the blade doesn't allow for a large opening & consequently, one must resort to using both hands to complete the cut on a larger branch. Not a knock, just an observation. Not sure if all of these pruners are manufactured as such, but the one I received had the hook off centered, so it took little effort to lock the blade. The pruner is Made in China.

I have probably owned somewhere around 40 to 50 pruners in my lifetime. From the ratcheting types, bypass, you name it. Every year I would have to buy 1 or 2 just to get me by until the following year. This pair is by far the absolute best I have ever owned. Solid steel construction with non-slip rubber coated handles, heavy duty razor sharp blade, a heavy duty spring (that actually works), and a locking latch that won't fail any time soon. I am rarely impressed with modern tools that are either substandard (cheap, plastic, not durable, etc.), or simply engineered wrong. I am SO happy with my purchase. Right away you can tell that these will last for a VERY long time. I was out doing yard work all day yesterday and the pruners sliced through small branches with ease. It made trimming rose bushes less of a chore! PLUS, the customer service after purchase has been just amazing! I received an email with instructions on keeping my pruners clean and sharp. Also, making sure I was happy with my purchase ! WOW, who else does that? NOBODY.

These secateurs are of fine build quality and promise good results later in the season. They are good in the hand and have very sharp blades, which promise clean cuts.

At the price I paid ($8.89) these pruners are a good deal. There are a few small annoyances: the closing latch occasionally close when you are clipping. The spring also occasionally (rarely) comes off, but it is easily put back in place. Otherwise, no complaints - they do the job. Updating my review after about a month of use: I really wanted to like these pruners in view of the seller's earnest customer support. But there are several annoyances which really do impede use of this pruner. As I mentioned, the closing latch often closes while you are trying to cut, necessitating re-opening the pruner frequently while cutting. A new annoyance which I only recently discovered is that the nut which screws on to the bolt which holds the pruner together sometimes loosens. I find t hat I can tighten it back with my finger, but still it is an annoyance. And lastly, as I noted earlier, the spring comes off from time to time. It can easily be put back on, but still.....The blade seems sharp and the pruner otherwise works alright, but in all honesty I can only give the pruner 3 stars in view of these problems. A further update: After reading more reviews as well as the answers to questions I was disturbed by what I consider misleading reviews. I have to be frank: I would be disappointed if I paid the current price for these pruners ($14). I paid about $8 when I bought them. I found these pruning shears deficient in many respects. I suspect that customer service is so good that buyers want to leave them a good review. But in the end, if you want good pruners at or below the current selling price of these, you'll find many options.

I like ALMOST everything about these clippers. I use every day. Quality good, durable, easy to use, stays sharp - PROBLEM - the handle is the wrong color. I have a hard time finding them if they drop from my pocket or if I put them down while working outside. Please change handle color to yellow, neon pink, red or other contrast to green! I prefer these to Corona - except for this issue. Thanks!

I have larger than average hands, but find that quality, affordable, sharp, and comfortable seem to be mutually exclusive features in most pruners. I researched EXTENSIVELY before ordering these and almost chose another pair because the price on these made me a bit skeptical. But, since they came with a guarantee, I decided they were worth a try... UNFORTUNATELY... The first pair I ordered worked wonderfully, EXCEPT the rubber gription (I know, not a word) separated from the metal after the first (long) day of use. I was SO DISAPPOINTED, but contacted the company because the packaging said to do so if there were any problems. In no time at all, I received a very personalized response from the owner of the company AND almost as super-fast, a replacement pair showed up in my mailbox! The second pair work flawlessly. They are truly a joy to use and my roses look healthier than ever (albeit a bit water-logged after the record rains). These pruners are truly GR8! Try them! You will be glad you did!!!

Arrived as expected

This is one of the easiest plant clippers I have used

Awkward and not sharp. Sent them back.
