Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Corona Clipper 3/4-inch forged bypass pruner features a blade and hook that are individually hand matched for precision performance. This process ensures a close and clean cut with maximum cutting capacity, all-season long. The unit's radial arc bypass blade is replaceable, and features a slant-ground hook, designed with a narrow profile to fit easily into tight spaces. For added strength and durability, the steel blade is fully heat-treated to permit re-sharpening for continued clean cutting, and was designed to hold a precision edge. The hook features a sap groove to remove debris, helping to maintain a smooth cutting action. There's also a precision-machined, self-aligning pivot bolt that adjusts with just one tool for easy adjustability. Additionally, the handles feature non-slip grips for added comfort. The unit comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

I've been guilty of buying the Chinese made ones for $6.00,...but they don't hold up. Also, with the "guaranteed to fall off and get lost" spring that those have, it's a losing battle. And Fiskars used to make a good product, but my last pair had the plastic latch break off (come on guys). So, after reading some of the great reviews from the other folks here, I went with these Corona's. The precision feel of the blades when you use them is stunning. Also, they are modest in size and would fit a woman's hands easily. I'm a landscaper and when I first opened the box, I was concerned that these might be too small. No way. I pruned an apple tree last week,...and when I couldn't use the pole trimmer, I used these. This hand pruner was chomping right through major branches with ease, and yet is delicate enough to snip flowers. Very strong and secure center spring. Quality blades. Highly recommended. My pole trimmer and lawn edger clippers? Both Corona. I know what to get now. And I think it said on the package that the components were actually made in America! Good heavens.

I never even venture out for a garden job without this in my pockets. I mis-use it for everything from cutting weeds to pruning trees. The design looks "basic", but this really is a very well made product. The blades are sharp and have remained sharp. They haven't rusted - even though I am terrible at taking care of them. The curved blade design is just great - gives you increased cutting power as compared to the "V" shaped blade. I think this is the first gardening tool you really should buy. I'm now trying "Corona" for my other tools - having had good experience with their pruner.
