What a well-designed tool!
What a great design!I purchased a similar device on Amazon recently. It worked fairly well. That item "disappeared", so I searched for a different design. It's not easy to judge a device like this until you start using it.The new clipper looked fine. I started using it, I was astounded at the difference between the two devices. The new device has a ratcheting system that works as it's supposed to work! I had to train myself to let the device do what it's supposed to, and not struggle to get the device working.I'm glad that the design and operation of this clipper is so well done, that it's not work that I'm doing. I'm enjoying this new "partner" in gardening. No more: "Oh no, I have to trim bushes!!" I have "The Gardener's Friend 3-Stage Ratchet Pruner" I've loved good tools from the time I was taught to use them properly by my grandfather. This pruner is a gem!!

No pain
This is the second time I purchased. I will give this to a friend who is a president of succulents group. I love it too much and I would share my experience to her. I have arthritis on my hand and I cut branches of citrus trees with out any problem.

A very worthy tool and a trusty friend of 9 years!
I purchased this very item 9 years ago and it’s been a trusty tool around my Arizona yard, especially in the Spring when everything needs some pruning. The ratcheting mechanism is the best part of this shear. The only problem, and it’s the issue that prevents a 5-Star review, is the also the ratcheting mechanism. Unless your hand is holding the shear in an upright position, the ratchet will sometimes jam. Beyond this, be very careful with the tool as an appendage could easily be removed if caught in jaws. The reason I returned to this Amazon page was to see if I could find a new blade…wish me luck!

Great Tool For Seniors
Used to prune medium size bush in backyard, worked great, easy to use. I have limited use of left hand and this pruning shears was easy for me to use. Recommended for seniors!

Durable, Comfortable, and Sharp - Never Without in the Garden!
This is my third purchase, and they hold up so very well. Unbelievably durable and strong; it is a pleasure and they are in use in multiple places around my yard - plus an extra in case I mislaid one! A tool you don't want to be without - highly recommend!

Not suitable for small hands or actual use
Not suitable for small hands or actual use. It doesn't open very wide and when it is fully open it's hard for small hands to close. I do not know how well or even if it cuts because we opted to return it within hours of receiving it.

Okay but not great.
I expected better for the price and quantity of the 5 star ratings I saw. 1st and foremost, toss the majority of 5 those star ratings. Anyone who’s used shears before, or used these to any extent would not in their right mind give 5 stars for this product.As soon as I saw the packaging, I was disappointed. The shears were packaged in a typical Taiwanese plastic/cardboard package that did not convey any sense of quality. The label on the shear was crooked and not firmly affixed. There was a spare blade oiler in the package and now I know why. But you’re not reading this to see if the package was up to snuff, are you?Construction: The pivots are all rivets, there are no bolts and nuts holding it together but there is no noticeable looseness or wiggle of the cutting blade. The handle was able to accommodate my normal sized hand with a medium duty glove on. I see others had issues with gloves using this, I did not.Performance: The shears were razor sharp out of the package and initial cuts were effortless. The ratchet mechanism worked fine and there was no blade flex when trying to cut large branches at an awkward angle.I found the ratchet mechanism worked well and with each squeeze and release it indexed properly allowing quick cuts. There was never a time where this did not work. I was able to cut the smallest twig to about 1 inch saplings without any problems.As cutting progressed, i did have to exert slightly more effort, but the shears did not exhibit any major change in its ability.As others mentioned, the blade oiler that is stored in the handle disappeared along the way (thus the spare in the package) and locking the blade is difficult.They did the job today and hopefully they’ll continue to do the job in the future. But in the end, they’re just okay.
