Germany Pruning Shears For Gardening, Arthritis Weak Hand Snips, 4x cutting power trimming, 1-Inch Cut Capacity Garden Clippers, Ergonomic handle, Rust resistant, high strength steel, Sharp

Heavy-duty, well-made. I love the ratchet mechanism that allows you to cut heavy branches, up to 1 inch diameter of fresh wood, in several steps, which greatly reduces the amount of effort needed. If you have osteoarthritis like I do, it also greatly reduces the amount of pain, to pretty much no pain at all. I also appreciate the yellow handle to make it easier to find when I drop it in the shadows under dense vegetation and the comfortable ergonomics of the handles and lock/unlock button. Easy to drop handles-first in my pocket (blades-first soon makes a hole in the pocket) and quick on the draw to take out. The last pair lasted nearly 4 years of heavy use before the ratchet mechanism lost function. Just now I bought two to replace it, so next time one breaks or I lose one temporarily somewhere in my 1-acre garden jungle, I'll always have a backup. It was hardly an inconvenience, since they arrived within 12 hours of my online order.

They sheer are amazing! Very sharp cut through my flowers like butter. And I like the grip on them too! I like the safety future on it too. Even my husband said that these were a good find which to me is a high compliment.

I like my pair,cuts nicely and the way the spring system works while cutting is very easy on the hand. The only thing is I wish it had a little bigger handle.But well worth it.

Worked great. Nice for gripping.

I am a large woman taller than average but not super tall and my hands are not small my fingers are quite long. These trimmers do not open the blade wide enough to cut a good thick stem. They may work better for tea roses but you do have to open your grip so wide that you are almost about to drop the grips to get it on the stem. That makes your hand shaky and sloppy while cutting because you are awkwardly balancing the grips to get them around the stem. That does not make for enjoyable gardening. Now if you are a very large man (built like a football player) your hands might easily widen enough. Think Brian Shaw or Eddie Hall. Pass on this one ladies unless you are a big and tall gal with great hands. They're metal and seem decent. Just poor design for the average person. Fantastic for pro athlete types and bodybuilders that need bigger stuff. As far as quality.....I don't trust it. It's hard to say but it didn't seem to cut very well. Now that can be remedied by sharpening the blade but that is a skill I do not have. Could be great needs rework on the design and sharper blades. I loved the rings around the grip. that was useful in keeping large thorny branches away from my rose gloves as an added protection.

My wife needed something to help with her hand strength getting worse with age. These did the trick. I am on my second pair. First lasted two years of heavy use - my wife prunes juniper/cedar tree limbs with these. They are that tough and take a beating. For them to last two years with how she used them daily means they hold up well. Imagine if she used them for just smaller light garden tasks, they would last even longer as long as you oil them and don't leave them outside in the rain. Definitely a recommend on buying these. Much better value than others we tried previously. Very sharp, easy to use for smaller hands, excellent value. Very good cutting power when engaged. Like I said, pruned central Texas Juniper/cedar trees. If you have been around these, you know how tough they can be.

The very best pruning shears! I would recommend for anyone that has hand pain or numbness in their hands. The ratchet mechanism makes it so much easier to use. Worth every penny! Buy it , you will be glad you did.

This item is JUNK. It broke after 2 days of use. It is cumbersome to use and only has one blade that cuts. Plus the blade that cuts when cutting goes into a blade arm with a crevice and sometimes misses hitting the crevice when the branch twists and wont cut

Really very excellent pair of pruning shears, especially for those of us with arthritis in our hands. I cleaned up a tangled mess in my backyard without a single thing of pain and I didn’t have to use a drop of oil.

Bought as a gift: doesn’t look giftable. It’s light and looks cheap with a Very poor finish and has Chinese script on the label. Unless the Germans have changed their script, I doubt that it’s from Germany!

Work very well so far.

not the best i have had action is loose also had to sharpen before they were minimally acceptable
