Haus & Garten ClassicPRO 8.5" Professional Premium Titanium Bypass Pruning Shears - Use As Pruners, Garden Shears, Heavy Duty Handheld Pruning Shears For Gardening, Clippers, Pruner Scissor Tool

Happy to say, these are so sharp, I actively kept them up in the air so my dogs wouldn’t get hurt, as they raced around the yard. Other cutters have been nowhere near the quality and craftsmanship of these. Happy to have paid for quality!

Love these! High quality, easy and comfortable grip, and sharp. About once a month I put them in a cup of vinegar overnight to clean them and they look like new! Highly recommend!

Heavy duty snips. Excellent for trimming most plants, sharp, durable blades and comfortable grip.

I found these Haus & Garten bypass pruning shears nice and sharp and work well. The only criticism is they tend to have too much friction at the "bypass" blades, which is easily corrected with a bit of oil on the blades, but I have to apply after about 50 cuts otherwise the friction increases to the point the do not "spring" open and needs to manually pulled open.

First time with the Haus and Garten bypass pruner brand. My brand loyalty goes to Corona forged steel and their entire line of garden tools. My drool-worthy choice would be Felco pruners. However for the average home gardener - as am I - Felcos are overkill and cost double to triple for the same model of tools. I tried my new Haus and Garten bypass pruners, here’s the verdict: Very Good to Excellent. (If Felco’s are an A+ these are easily B+ to A-). I spent a few hours filling two 95 gallon bins. Very nice, smooth and clean cuts for dry branches up to 1/2” and all the way to 1” on green branches. Twigs, stems, small bush branches, small palms and ornamentals, piece of cake, no resistance. On large queen palm fronds 7ft to 9 ft little effort up to 3/4” but I used a pruner on anything over that, you just need a bigger too. Used correctly, no fatigue factor - ergonomics are great. The blade and the hook stayed clean, but what I was cutting had very little if no sap so I can’t comment on that. After use I cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on those 1-1/2” white bandage pads I had laying around. They cleaned up, you can’t tell they were used (try that on the lesser brands). I used a drop of mineral oil to put on a thin film to protect surfaces and a drop on the hinge. A tip, save the package the pruners can in and use as their storage case. I put in a couple white gauze pads for the next cleaning. These are made of Japanese grade stainless steel with a titanium coating, far more durable than forged steel which is prone to oxidize, dull and more difficult to clean. I’m hoping for a long time before needing sharpen. A comment on my Coronas: In my opinion Coronas would be included in the top five, no doubt. Coronas last, most of my Coronas are over 35-years, and not worse-for-wear, just a nice rust patina on them. Downside, they must be sharpened regularly either with very fine tanged flat file or a 400 - 600 grit whet stone. A necessary maintenance hassle. But to make any garden tool last and keep working properly, they all must have a sharp edge, just like any knife.

Best pair of clippers I've ever owned !! Super sharp, comfortable to use. Absolutely perfect !!!

Good product, similar to a Felco at $70. It did stick a little, but a little WD40 and good to go. Great product, good price. I would buy again.

Very sharp, and the action is smooth

What I wanted and it is proving itself
