CoronaHS 3950 Extendable Hedge Shear, 10-Inch Blade,Red

Seem to cut well and are sturdy. Extendable handles have been very helpful for the jobs I've used this for. However they are heavy to hold out in front of you for any length of time.

After about three years of regular use, I had to buy another pair. I love these extendable hedge shears. I'm kind of short and really appreciate being able to extend the handles of these when trimming my tallest shrub. Most of the time I use these without long handles.These shears aren't too heavy, but heavy enough to withstand occasional "hacking" at limbs and thick vines. It holds it's edge well. I resharpened my first pair after about two years. On the third year the blades started losing their edge frequently and one of the telescoping handles got finnicky. It still worked but I decided I DESERVED a brand new pair.I highly recommend these shears for their durability and functionality. They withstand the rigors of a large home garden and yard very well.

We were looking for a longer handle on the 10 inch blades to do the very high bushes in front of our house. The standard shears had shorter handles and even though you were up on a ladder, it was harder.These are very sharp, the handles lock at the longer length with a twist of the wrist on each handle. They are heavier that the shorter handle ones. So be aware that it is not for a senior who is frail. I love the new shears. They cut well, they extend my reach. They appear very well made. The only negative if you call it that is the slightly heavier weight of the shears themselves.

I'm using these to prune cattails under the water line in a pond. they are working great for that task! i can get multiple cattails in one snip, and my colossal project is going the fastest it's ever gone. a trimmer isn't meant for underwater. the pond razor was not working on the infestation i have going on. i don't have big manly tools to do it the SMART way, like a tractor or pond mower. these shears have created two lanes in the middle of the pond in a day! looks like i took a lawn mower over the top of it. it's the worst project ever, and i've tried going renaissance inventing possible solutions to this cattail plague (like pond shoes made from plywood and shoe laces, a battery operated hedge trimmer, and an expensively effective but valuable blade trimmer that i don't want to ruin in the water) but the best thing has been a simple pair of shears! they can go under the water! they can get a lot at once. they're sharp enough. the handles extend. they're not light weight but not crazy heavy either.

I was really surprised at the quality of these clippers. Given the price, I was expecting a somewhat low-end product, but Corona really did a great job with this.The handles are steel and can be extended with a simple twist. They lock in at any spot with a positive click - very secure. The grip is very comfortable to hold using gloves or bare hands.The best part are the blades. They are forged rather than stamped, and come with a very sharp edge. After a fair amount of use the blades were still razor sharp. It also has a notch at the base of the blade for cutting larger stalks - handy for when you don't have hand pruners handy.The blade is straight and non-serrated, so it will be easy to re-sharpen when needed (I highly recommend the Istor sharpener). Has bumpers to minimize the jolt to your arms and shoulders when using it for long periods.I normally use a powered trimmer for my shrubs, but wanted a hand one for small jobs. This is so comfortable to use that I hardly use the powered one anymore!Now, this is a homeowner-grade model -- there's a reason why Felco or Bahco cost a lot more. But, unless you're a landscaper or have acres of shrubs, this will perform nearly as well as the pro brands at a fraction of the cost.Corona also makes other hand tools with the same locking extendable handles. I have the mini rake and find it to be an excellent performer as well. Note that Corona also makes a cheaper version of this with stamped blades. Spend the couple (and I do mean just a couple) of extra bucks and get this one - the blade will last much longer and hold an edge far better. I also looked at some of the Fiskcars (sp?) and found the build quality to be far inferior to this model - handles felt very flimsy, and not nearly as easy to use.Almost makes you look forward to cutting the hedges!

These hedge trimmers are phenomenal, extremely sharp and well made likely to last a lifetime with proper care. But like most other reviews claim they are heavy so prolonged use would cause fatigue

Super strong, excellent functioning, cuts very very well. I mean, these suckers got some power !! Not to mention the blades are very sharp- and I do mean SHARP. I’ve had some in the past that broke under the right conditions, and these have been truly put to the test and have not failed me yet!! ( I tend to use mine for more than just hedges, sometimes were just downright trim branches too. Usually I’m only limited by the strength of the Tool. 😇🥰 Not sure why the specific model is so hard to track down, but it was impossible for me to find in stores, every store that had them was always out of stock. To boot, at the time I ordered this there are only two suppliers That weren’t charging $20 more for the same product LMAO 😂 Definitely worth the price, if you happen to see these, grab a pair… I suspect with care they may last a lifetime.

High quality well made item, extension handles "lock" in place, blades are very sharp and make a clean cut, great for shearing ivy, shrubs and more.This is a "replacement" shear,, my old one wore out after 10+ years.Easy to sharpen and will last a long time if properly maintained.Great price, excellent performance and highly recommend.
