I bought Florian Racket cutters in the late 80's or early 90's and still use them today. Work so well I never looked around.

^^^I bought these a while back on ebay brand new for like $15. They are phenomenal. I actually ended up buying two. They don't bend or chip, they stay shut and are sharpppp.

 

Wicked tree gear are the best. From pruners to saws, they can’t be beat

 

I've had plenty of hardware store hand pruners and telescope types.

My opinion. If your only use is once a year. Go with the box store.

If you do alot more. Go with what the pros use. They cost more. But they function better and last longer.

 

Yes, im just looking for something a little better than the Fiskars i have. Too heavy, never stay locked closed. Definitely bypass type.

 

Corona makes good stuff at a great price point. I have one of their folding saws that is 12 years old. It cut better than a brand new wicked folding saw that was 3 times the price.

Bought this one last year and it is plenty capable to clear lanes for stands.

 

Oh Lord no . I need hand pruner, fit in pocket.

 

The best hand pruner i have found is the lanemaker from treehopper. Has a replaceable blade as well. 24.00 for the pruner with a two year warranty and the replacement blade is like 8.00.

 

Like I said though I only paid $29 dollars for my Florians and they are older than many of the people here......I have never sharpened them and they are $54 now so I got mine for 1/2 price since I got them well over 35 years ago.

Or gamble on another one and get back with us in 35 years and tell us if you are still using them.

Just searched the web and found a used pair for $54 bucks........lol. Maybe a thing of the past.........too bad they were a great tool.

 

OK. Bought aluminum Coronas.
DO NOT BUY Fiskars products.
They chose to not take calls, and the email system is kaput.

 

EZ Kut Ratchet pruners

Treehopper use to sell the EZ KUT. I could not remember the name. Dang good pruners that last.

 

Love my EZ Kut Ratchet pruners, but I would not advise buying from them directly...use Amazon...EZ Kut uses some crazy discounted pathway to the USPS, tracking and timing is terrible. I ordered a few for Christmas gifts this year (along with a couple of their WOW saws - unreal)...took almost 9-full weeks, got fed up and ordered from Amazon..actually saved a few bucks and they were all at the house in 3-days...returned the original purchases.

I've owned my pruners and WOW saw for several years, there isn't much that small combo can't handle....
