There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Be very careful to keep your fingers out of their way and/or wear gloves though, I cut the heck out of my pinky due to my own carelessness. It didn’t hurt really which I attribute to their strength and sharpness, although I needed stitches after. I’ve cut my finger with Fiskars before (yes, I’m accident prone) and that hurt more and was more of a jagged cut. I still love these but am just way more attentive and am sure to wear thick gloves when using them just in case.
Overall I highly recommend these shears and will be purchasing more tools from this brand as needed.
My only complaint is trying to source replacement blades other than ordering directly through the company itself.
The seller was prompt in sending of the item and I received it in the estimated time frame. I absolutely recommend them and the pruners!
Some people had mentioned in reviews that the handle spun too freely, and I do like how the Power Gear is geared to turn with the cut. But these are not floppy or anything like that, and within a short time of actual pruning they felt totally natural. And because they aren't geared I can use them in either hand. The blade is super sharp, as I expected. The lock mechanism works really well and is now instinctual. Best part is that I have experienced almost no hand fatigue and no numbness even after full days of pruning work. They have been well worth the investment.
I do keep the Coronas on hand as a back-up, especially if I need to prune roots or trim vines with wire running through them - I don't want to damage that edge!
