I can't say enough good things about these shears. They are sturdy, well-balanced in your hands, and are very easy to use. I bought them for myself and then gave a pair to my niece who is also very impressed with them. Neither one of us is super strong and we find the shears not so heavy that they would tire you out after a few minutes. The grips on the handles seem to be quality-made and not the type that will slough/peel off after a few uses. Blades are sharp and cut right through even thick overgrown branches on shrubs (uh oh, I'm telling on myself!)

Very happy with this purchase!

Looking at other raving reviews, I tried this shears - Twice. The first I received had the last couple of inches not closing - so will not cut properly. I thought it might be an odd one out - so I returned and asked for a replacement. When I got the replacement, it had the same problem. The last one inch or so of the shears will not close - I find it hard to believe that thats the standard design. What purpose could this possibily achieve. I lose the ability to nip small twigs as the tips do not close. And I also tend to lose a couple of inches of cutting power in a 10 inch long blade. Thats a major drawback to me. I have seen only one reviewer who had the same problem. I wonder if others faced the same issue but are okay with that or did I receive a defective product - Twice! I am waiting for my refund after returning the second shears - dont want to deal with it anymore.

I bought these shears to trim my front yard shrubs. The holly and boxwoods need shaping. I had been using traditional bypass pruning shears to painstakingly clip each stem. I am of petite stature and can shape up my holly and boxwoods in short order with these power-lever shears. The blades are easy to clean with a damp cloth. Storage is not an issue. I like the self-sharpening feature.
