Hooyman Forged Loppers and Ratchet Pruner with Heavy Duty Steel Construction, Ergonomic No-Slip H-Grip Handles, and Blade Lock for Gardening, Land Management, Yard Work, Trimming, Pruning, and Outdoor

pretty impressive, cuts thru just about anything that fits in its "jaw". would defiantly buy again if I needed another one.

Sharp and works well. High quality!

Great ratchet cutters. Strong, not to heavy and easy to use for arthritis hands.

These thangs work amazing. Effortless cutting for the money can’t beat them

Awesome little cutters 😎

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.

As can be clearly seen from picture, cannot cut a full inch as advertised. I bought it to be able to cut one inch branches so its cutting depth is totally unsatisfactory. Thus one star. If I was evaluating for cutting 3/4 inch I would give four stars as it does a pretty good job for up to 3/4".

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.

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.

I have been using on branches around 3 cm without trouble. This is the best pair of pruning tools I have bought in recent years. Would recommend to anyone. The quality is excellent on this product.
