Review on 🌿 The Gardener's Friend Pruners: Ratchet Pruning Shears for Weak Hands - Perfect Gardening Gift for Any Occasion! by Joshua Flame

Revainrating 5 out of 5

without a doubt the best pair of scissors I've found

Several things at once. Side shears are great for flowers, but anvil shears in general are best for real pruning - apples, pruners, fruit etc. So far this is by far the best I've used in my cramped years of taming the outdoors. One of the best things is that the groove in the anvil is recessed into the actual solid plate, so the shears disappear below the level of the anvil. This means you don't have to worry about uneven sharpening, so you can snap off a few final drive strands when the scissors need to cut through. They're comfortable and not prone to the jamming that twist grip scissors have, and while I haven't had a chance to sand them down, it looks like you could easily get a small scissor file for that. Many scissors don't have clearance for this, so you end up sharpening unevenly. And you're not paying Hearth and Plow's inflated prices for what they believe to be the latest Japanese/Chinese flower shears. Throw away those $60 Cutco pruning shears, or better yet, sell them on eBay. They might be a little big for little hands, but they're still Git'er Done's best pruning shears. hope they hold up
