Good quality and works well.

These little pruners are very effective. They cut through soft (new pine branches) and hard (dead wood on pommaranite tree).I live in Windward Oahu, the rain forest side of Oahu, and this time of year there is a lt of work to do. Tree and weeds can grow 20 feet during the winter rains. I used to pruine with a reciprcating saw, but for smaller jobs I use pruners or a smalll hand saw. Now that I am retired and spending more time in our garden I wanted a good, reliable pruner so I would not have to guess which os the pruners was up to the work of spring clean-up. I ordered a couple of pair of pruners, this one and the #2 rated on Amazon. The other "heavy duty" pruner could not get through 1/2" dead wood on the pomegranite tree. This pruner cut through 3/" cleanly in one cut. It is also smaller and easier to hold, and because of ias' size is more precise (easier to get in between branches).I actually started out to clean up a large basil, deadhead and remove old dried growth. I then turned to a pine tree which was throwing tooo much shade on my vegetable garden,, and was surprised how easy it was to cut back or remove smaller branches (1/2- 3/4"). It's great to have a pruner which is good at both (precise trimming and hard/ soft wood).I have had a lt of prunijng shears over the years and this is definitely one of the best!

Nice quality and sharp.

I love this! I have small hands and this fits but my husband has large ones and he likes it too! Very sharp! I believe it will last a very long time.
