As you can tell by the price, these are cheaply made.

The first day of use the loppers handle broke because the handles are thin walled. There is a reason that this set costs so much less than the others.

If you are okay with a set of loppers that can only cut through 1/4 inch branches, and you are okay with likely needing to replace them within a year then this set will work for you.

I haven't had any problems with the shears after a full day of use, but I learned my lesson with the loppers and I haven't tried to cut anything big.

I have only used the pruner twice and have had no problem with them.

These are definitely not a set for heavy or extended use, but they are great, for the price, if you have a few small bushes that need a little trim.

I would advise against this / these products. Day one, I take it out of the package, and go to use the branch pruner. Closing in on the 2nd branch, close the handle, and SNAP, one of the cutting edges breaks. I dont mean bends, I means just breaks clean off.

Seemed sharp enough, but the handle broke on the lopper within the first few uses. I guess you get what you pay for. The handle is paper thin tubing, attached to a plastic receiver that is pressed onto the steel cutting portion. The plastic broke and the tubing split. Not sure these are warrantied in any way, but I'll probably try to adapt some wood handles to these loppers. If you hope to use these more than 3 times, I'd suggest looking for something with wooden handles.

The large one on the first set broke. Amazon is wonderful but the quality of this item is not as high.

I wanted a set of tools for some lightweight trimming of bushes and found that this three piece set is perfect for the task and the price is excellent. I am no expert or dedicated landscaper and use this set of tools maybe about 2-3 times (have had it for 6 months) for that this is eminently suitable. The tools seem reasonably sturdy to me for some moderate trimming(though some reviewers did mentioned that it seems flimsy) and I would definitely recommend it for lightweight work. i.e if you are trimming a small garden maybe 3-4 times. For any serious trimming, I am no expert so wouldn't know if this fits the bill.

This set was very inexpensive, but works great. I think it is obvious when they are near their capacity, but back off a little and keep take a couple cuts on the 1.5" branches and it works fine. I spray them down with WD40 when I'm done, I keep them in an outdoor shed - no rust yet. I am impressed

The handles fell apart on the pruner after only one (1) use in the garden. Will need to get a higher quality next time.

I suppose I should have expected a cheaply made product when I saw the price, but they look in the picture like the more expensive kind of pruning, lopper, shears products.

The blade dulled within an hour of cutting small branches then proceeded in smashing and crunching the wood instead of cutting through it. I am very disappointed in the quality. I should have saved the $20.00 and put it toward a decent set.

So far i am pretty happy with the set. I used the large trimmer for cutting though some thick branches on an invasive English Ivy thats taking over my yard and it was cutting through the branches like butter. I used the small trimmer for pruning roses. No complaints so far. THe quality is not superb but it is better then most pruners you get at your local big box store for twice the price.

I received this set a few weeks ago and have used all the pieces. It's a great set for the price and exactly what I was looking for. The grips are comfortable and the blades are sharp and easy to use.
