I have a couple of rules about tools that I’ve developed for myself, I’ll share one here, don’t buy crap. Most expensive doesn’t equate best, but do your homework and buy good quality, it will cost you less in the long run.

A few years ago I bought a pair of corona “professional” pruners after having borrowed my brother-in-laws felco #2′s. I used them for a couple of cuts and couldn’t stand them… so I took them back, which I really don’t like to do much but they just weren’t what they were represented to be by the salesman. Which is as good as Felco pruners. (Corona makes other good products I’m especially fond of their lopers.) Then I went to another store (before I grew so fond of amazon) and bought some of these. I LOVE THEM. I can’t say that enough so just in case you missed it, I LOVE THEM. For the last few years I’ve used them every year for a good number of trees, shrubs and bushes. They are still sharp, I haven’t even had to sharpen them. They cut like the day I bought them. They are so smooth and feel so nice in your hand compared to any of the others I’ve used. (When I was young and dumb I worked landscaping for a while, the boss had a set of these, but we got stuck using whatever else, now I know why!)

If you want the best hand pruners that will last you at least twice as long, I think you’ve found the right pair.

I’ve used a pruner for years (and actually it’s done other work such as cutting baling twine)and until our nursery man showed me his Felco, I couldn’t part with the first one. Now I’m looking for plants that need a “little tweaking”. What a joy to use! With replaceable parts, this pruner with the bright red handles lives up to the Swiss reputation for a quality product. You definitely get what you pay for with this indispensable tool.
