I have been gardening for 30 years and this is the best pruner I've ever owned.

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.

My husband and I have decided to order a duplicate pair so that we can each have our own!

I have been using Corona pruning shears and clippers for 70 years and have found them to be of fine quality, a pleasure to use and long lasting.

My husband is the gardner and he LOVES these clippers! Although he didn't realize they come with a lifetime guarantee (awsome feature) he asked me to order him two pairs and I found Amazon had the best prices. These clippers are very good. Very well made and the lifetime warranty is terrific!
You won't be sorry with this purchase. Forget any other clippers, these are the ones to own!

While these clippers cost roughly twice the price of the pair being replaced, the construction appears significantly better (they were replacing a low cost clipper originally purchased at Home Depot). Beyond this, they are markedly sharper than the pair being replaced (of course, this is a comparison with the original sharpness not how sharp they were when being replaced).

While I cannot comment on the longevity of these clippers, I have worked with enough tools to have a strong expectation for the long life of these clippers (of course, only time will tell).

I ordered these from Jacks tool shed, what arrived looked exactly like the picture, minus the corona name engraving, made in China. The first time, and I kid you not, that I tried to cut a small branch 1/2" they would not close, and upon inspection the hook part of the hook and blade had created a burr so deep that they could not be closed. I am sure the genuine article works great, but to knowingly sell a worthless knockoff is criminal. My advise is to choose your " other buying options carefully" Amazon only allows responses with 1 star or more. Jello pruners might rate 1 star the ones they sent me rate 0.

I purchased this tool to replace an identical item that I had been using for about 25 years. I lost the first one last fall. I hope this one lasts as long as the first.

This looks and feels like a quality product. I Can't wait for the glaciers to melt off of my yards and flower beds here in southwestern Minnesota so I can actually usse them.
