Review on KSEIBI 143010 Cut And Hold Bypass Pruner - Long Reach With 1/2 Inch Max Cutting Capacity (3.5 Ft - 1.0 M) by Eli Saumell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works . . . But ! - my new review

This guy is a bit of a love/hate, I'll explain.I got this to clip a kind of ground nettle that grows from 4-30 inches tall. The nettle has hundreds of tiny seeds that stick to any cloth and the legs of deer as they wander past. I've clipped over a 1000 across several acres around my house. That's the love.For the hate: This tool is designed for overhead pruning where the tool rest in the palm of your hand. When clipping plants on the ground the weight of the tool is on your trigger finger. In spite of its light weight, continuous use causes your trigger finger to go numb. So much so that now as I write this review, two weeks since I last used the clipper, the tip of my right index finger is still numb. The positive is that my lower back doesn't ache, which it did when I tried pulling the nettles by bending over.

Pros
  • It is ergonomically designed to give you a comfortable and secure grip
Cons
  • May require frequent blade adjustments for optimal cutting performance
