When the Corona clipper arrived...we put it right to work. We have arthritis and the ratchet feature made it a breeze to cut branches from many bushes on our 5 acres. After about a month; the clipper broke. One of the rivets broke just when we were taking it to our neighbors to show them how great it was.*Smile* The neighbor fixed it; and we have been using it. We were disappointed that it broke so quickly...although, we were able to do alot of pruning...without hurting our hands trying to manually push the prunner to cut through tough branches of bushes. I would only recommend using a ratchet pruner...however, this one did not hold up.

Being female, I use ratchet pruners in yard work because they allow me to cut thicket stems without muscle strength. The price of these pruners was right, so I ordered a pair. Imagine my surprise when I realized my hand wasn't large enough to allow the mouth of the pruners to open more than an inch. These pruners will only open to their full size for a person with very large hands. My hands are a size seven. Even my husband, who has size 9 hands, complained that he had to let the grip on one side go before placing the pruner on a branch. Once on the branch it takes two hands to make them operate! Very Disappointing! Stick to "Florian" pruners...more expensive ...but no problems!

As a former Horticultural Therapist working with elderely and disabled people I have bought these pruners for many clients. The important thing to know is that you must use these pruners as instructed to prevent them breaking.

Firstly, cut straight across the branch so as not to twist the blade. Then squeeze to cut BUT Let GO as soon as you feel resistance - and then squeeze again. This technique will give you about 30% more cutting power and they will last for years.

The safety catch can be a bit fiddly but usually loosens up after a while.

MY WIFE HAS TROUBLE WITH HER HANDS. ITS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CUT BRANCHES WHEN WE DO OUR GARDENING. I GOT THE RACHET CUT AT A FOOD & PRODUCTS SHOW AND ITS FABULOUS. SHE CAN NOW CUT ANY SIZE BRANCH WITH THIS PRODUCT. SHE STILL HAVE TROUBLE USING OTHER KINDS OF CUTTERS.

This ratchet pruner is lightweight and easy to use. It cuts branches in a snap without tearing up your hands. Super sharp.

I'm really glad I tried out this pruner. It is the best I've had so far and I have 60+ roses to prune. I haven't had it long enough to rate it's durability but I do know it cuts smooth and clean. And it cuts through some hefty canes. Be sure to remember it has rachet action and let go and reapply pressure for your cut. Excellent pruner for the price.

I have worn out two previous rachet clippers and just purchased my third. When it wears out I will purchase another one. It is a very effective tool and enjoyable to use. I can cut limbs up to 1/2 inch, maybe even 3/4 inch. Great tool.

I really liked using these when I tried them out. I bought them for my grandmother. She loves them. She has no trouble cutting through things that she wasnt able to before having the ratchet action. They work exactly as advertised and designed. I'd reccommend these to anyone.

flimsy, useless for anything bigger than small,soft stems.
not worth the money.
