These aren’t Felco quality, but of course they’re far cheaper. I got a pair to do routine rose-bush pruning…they did exactly that.They stick a little and don’t always open completely, even with adjusting and oiling, and the build tolerances are just okay, but they are sharp and they do cut rose canes and other similarly-sized branches cleanly and easily.They’re good for casual home use.

I have not used these extensively yet, but seem to be well made. Cannot comment yet on durability and have not tested on size of shrub, etc. they will cut.

First time I used it the cutting edge chipped. Cutting 3/4” limbs on pomegranate bush.

As a senior woman, I needed something easier to grip with a good cut. These are very nice, but was not possible for me to lock them. I had to take a carpet cutter and small metal file to whittle down the plastic end that is supposed to swing up and lock in place. It's still not perfect, but will lock part of the way--enough that I don't feel it's going to spring open.

They cut well but don't spring open fully. Even after I oiled them.

What do you expect for the price, they get the job done!

They are sturdy shears which make clean cuts and are easy to maneuver. My only complaint is that they do not reopen easily after making a cut.

Beware that the screw holding the blades together will loosen by itself. It was simple enough to get a philips head screwdriver and tighten it back up but it took me a minute to figure out what was happening when all of a sudden, mid-pruning, I couldn't get anything to cut anymore.

Bought it for wife and the handles open too wide if having to get around larger limbs, etc.She has to use other hand to get it back where she can hold it with one hand! Could be made easier without too much trouble I believe!

The sheers were good and sharp but seemed a flimsy when I cut. They felt like the blade was bending out on thicker branches of the bush.
