I think I received a broken item, although looking at the breakage (see photo) I have to think it's quite common. All I was doing was pruning the small branches in my backyard when these shears fell. Nothing more to say than this is the first time a pruner has failed catastrophically and beyond repair. And I haven't even used them more than a few times. UPDATE: After I posted this review, the seller contacted me immediately, explained the problem, and offered a full refund. The seller also asked me to update the review, which I think is fair considering they stand firmly behind their product.
