I got my first pair at the nursery where I worked and just ordered two more because I am constantly misplacing them. Indispensable! I use these more than any other garden implement for trimming and pruning as they are mush more powerful cutters than regular scissors. Not up to heavy duty pruning but work for most maintenance jobs and they keep their edge.

These are best garden shears I have ever found. They are sharp, well constructed and very comfortable to use. NO it is NOT a hedge trimmer nor powerful anvil pruner. But for all those many and frequent smaller diameter jobs they are great. They are perfect for removing old blooms from most everything including roses and for pruning/shaping of most plants. They also cut paper, cardboard, thin plastic and even plastic garden tubing and netting extremely well, even thinner leather (6 oz or less) is no major problem for these fine little shears.

I have two pair of these, one for my garden and one for workshop in garage. ( I hide the ones in garage, as my better half loves them too and can never find them if she gets hold of them.)

Highly recommended!

These garden scissors are wonderful! It's my second pair now. The others lasted for over 10 years and are still usable, but I wasn't sure how to sharpen them. They work great for deadheading flowers or even trimming twigs or small tree branches. I keep them handy outdoors and use them for cutting twine for tying perennials and just about anything imaginable. I like them way better than standard pruners, and I even pruned at Milwaukee's Boerner Botanical Gardens for a year. Excellent product!

I've only had these about a week and already they are too dull to cut paper. They do come apart so it makes it easy to clean but they are just not sharp enough to do all I need kitchen scissors to do. I use them mostly to cut open packages.

Quality garden shears that you can use everyday. I love mine, and an happy I got them. They are perfect for tough pampas grass trimming. I keep mine in my pocket when gardening.
