Germany Pruning Shears, Arthritis Weak Hand Snips, Work 3 Times Easier, 1-Inch Cut Capacity Garden Clippers, Ergonomic handle, Rust resistant, high strength steel, Sharp

These garden clippers are amazing. They cut through the thicker plants and small tree like weeds very easily! I haven't quite figured out exactly how the ratchet part works, but I will! So far I haven't needed to use it. I am just impressed with how sharp and how easy these clippers are to use!

This is well made and does the job! It doesn’t handle thick, large limbs unless I’m doing something wrong. Regardless, this is performing as I expected and does what I need. I like the size and it fits my left hand well. I like the lock on it too.

These are a helpful addition to my garden tools. It takes a minute to get used to how these pruners clip; if the first clip doesn’t cut the entire branch, you have to press a second time, and the pruners ratchet up to finish the job. It takes more pressure than I expected to cut thicker pieces, so people with weak hands will probably have to tackle smaller branches. Still, I’m glad to have them available.

Comfort:I have arthritis in my hands and this helps me to trim my trees very comfortably. The only problem is I don't know how to close them when I am finished trimming and have to leave them in the open position.

I am a large woman taller than average but not super tall and my hands are not small my fingers are quite long. These trimmers do not open the blade wide enough to cut a good thick stem. They may work better for tea roses but you do have to open your grip so wide that you are almost about to drop the grips to get it on the stem. That makes your hand shaky and sloppy while cutting because you are awkwardly balancing the grips to get them around the stem. That does not make for enjoyable gardening. Now if you are a very large man (built like a football player) your hands might easily widen enough. Think Brian Shaw or Eddie Hall. Pass on this one ladies unless you are a big and tall gal with great hands. They're metal and seem decent. Just poor design for the average person. Fantastic for pro athlete types and bodybuilders that need bigger stuff. As far as quality.....I don't trust it. It's hard to say but it didn't seem to cut very well. Now that can be remedied by sharpening the blade but that is a skill I do not have. Could be great needs rework on the design and sharper blades. I loved the rings around the grip. that was useful in keeping large thorny branches away from my rose gloves as an added protection.

Nice and sharp, easy on the hand. I would buy this again. Whoever came up with this pruner did a very good job. Thank you.

Excellent trimmers. They are comfortable, easy to use with either hand and the ratcheting allows you to cut thick branches. Highly recommend!

Seems good. I purchased since I have small hands and thought the 'sissor' handle might be easier for me. Sadly it's not, since it opens too wide for my comfort. I'll have to pass it on to someone with a bit of a larger hand span.
