I’m getting older and losing strength in my hands. These trimmers are easy to use, allowing me to trim back the thick branches from my surprisingly vigorous raspberry and blackberry plants that seem to be bent on world domination ;) Read more

I bought two different types of ratcheting branch cutters on Amazon. These were one of them. They work, but seem to have more play out of the box than the others. They also seem more reluctant to ratchet down and finish the cut than my others. They also have a slide lock to hold them closed when you’ve finished using them. It is too proud and my hand action when cutting a thick branch pushes the slide lever forward and latches them in the closed position unintentionally at the end of the cut. I find this irritating. The other pair I bought have a similar slide lever, but it’s recessed and also quite stiff. They don’t seem to have the same operational flaw. I will use these if my wife is using the other pair, else I will grab the other ones. Read more

After using once, I'll be looking for another pair of trimmers. These are dull right out of the box and require substantial effort for even the smallest branches. I made an adjustment though to the name on them. Maybe you guys should think about 1) changing the name or 2) making better products. They are completely hooey and I do not recommend these.

There so many choices of different styles out there that is difficult to make a choice. After reading many details pages, I reduced my list to type, materials, helpful description, reviews and price. And I chose these and they are terrific! They are light, wicked sharp and the ratchet type cut is flawless. I have not yet run in to anything in pruning that it will not cut. Read more
