This design is a joke. The pruner broke the very first time I tried to use it. The cheap plastic flat opposing piece snapped in two while trying to cut a small branch well within the size limitations! There is only a single blade crushing against a plastic opposing side. There is no shearing effect at all, just a crushing against cheap plastic by a single dull blade! I expected two metal blades, or, at the very least, a metal opposing side that wouldn't break the first time I used it. Don't waste your money. If you still don't believe me, find one at your local hardware store that you can at least take back without having to pay for return shipping when it breaks! I wouldn't recommend this for hunters or rose pruners or anyone!

I recently bought the 'heavy-duty' counterpart to this tool and it seems to have EXACTLY the same problems mentioned by Ladder Man . (BTW, this pruner seems to be virtually indentical to the Fiskars 7685, which a lot of reviewers also panned as being junk.) Stay away from this pruner AND the so-called Heavy-Duty pruner by Gerber. They are just poor quality... in design, materials, and manufacture.

Mine broke first time I used it, with hardly any pressure. What a piece of junk. It should come with a 4 pound tube of two ton epoxy. I guess Gerber stands for another great company that caved to selling chinese junk. Guess what? You just lost al my business.
