Hooyman Ratchet Pruner with Lightweight, Non-Slip, Ergonomic Design, Heavy-Duty SK5 High Carbon Blade and Blade Lock for Hunting, T and Outdoor Use

Very sharp and good product

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 had a racketing set before and loved them. These make yard work easy on my small hands.

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.

I used these for the first time a couple days ago and was impressed. I’ve had many over the years and this one is super sharp and cuts through branches quickly, cleanly and evenly.
