Review on Gonicc 8" Professional Ratchet Anvil Pruning Shears (GPPS-1011), Ratcheting Mechanism, Anvil Groove Design, Reinforced Design Handle, Garden Shears Clippers, Anvil Pruner, Hand Tools Scissors Loppers by Mandy Jones

Simply put, these are the Rolls Royce of pruning shears. The rotating and padded handles make them very comfortable and ergonomic. The bypass design and very sharp blades make the least stressful cuts on your plants. They glide thru woody stems like butter. And the locking mechanism has 3 settings, closed, half open and fully open, which lets you adjust them for your hand size. I have smallish hands so I use them in the middle setting, which is big enough for all my hand pruning needs, but I have the option of opening it wider if I wanted.If you or a loved one are a gardener, I'd highly recommend this exceptionally well made tool.
