Work great! High quality and very sharp

Great tool. Cuts cleanly and cutting is easy with the way the grip is designed. It has a locking mechanism for keeping the tool closed when not in use. Vendor was easy to do business with.

First time with the Haus and Garten bypass pruner brand. My brand loyalty goes to Corona forged steel and their entire line of garden tools. My drool-worthy choice would be Felco pruners. However for the average home gardener - as am I - Felcos are overkill and cost double to triple for the same model of tools. I tried my new Haus and Garten bypass pruners, here’s the verdict: Very Good to Excellent. (If Felco’s are an A+ these are easily B+ to A-). I spent a few hours filling two 95 gallon bins. Very nice, smooth and clean cuts for dry branches up to 1/2” and all the way to 1” on green branches. Twigs, stems, small bush branches, small palms and ornamentals, piece of cake, no resistance. On large queen palm fronds 7ft to 9 ft little effort up to 3/4” but I used a pruner on anything over that, you just need a bigger too. Used correctly, no fatigue factor - ergonomics are great. The blade and the hook stayed clean, but what I was cutting had very little if no sap so I can’t comment on that. After use I cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on those 1-1/2” white bandage pads I had laying around. They cleaned up, you can’t tell they were used (try that on the lesser brands). I used a drop of mineral oil to put on a thin film to protect surfaces and a drop on the hinge. A tip, save the package the pruners can in and use as their storage case. I put in a couple white gauze pads for the next cleaning. These are made of Japanese grade stainless steel with a titanium coating, far more durable than forged steel which is prone to oxidize, dull and more difficult to clean. I’m hoping for a long time before needing sharpen. A comment on my Coronas: In my opinion Coronas would be included in the top five, no doubt. Coronas last, most of my Coronas are over 35-years, and not worse-for-wear, just a nice rust patina on them. Downside, they must be sharpened regularly either with very fine tanged flat file or a 400 - 600 grit whet stone. A necessary maintenance hassle. But to make any garden tool last and keep working properly, they all must have a sharp edge, just like any knife.

I found these Haus & Garten bypass pruning shears nice and sharp and work well. The only criticism is they tend to have too much friction at the "bypass" blades, which is easily corrected with a bit of oil on the blades, but I have to apply after about 50 cuts otherwise the friction increases to the point the do not "spring" open and needs to manually pulled open.

I do a lot of pruning and finally upgraded to a good set of pruning sheers. I do not know why I waited so long! These things are great. They fit nicely in my small hands. They can be adjusted so they don't open all the way, making them easier to hold, and are super sharp. I've been using them for more than a month and they are still sharp. They can be sharpened and the blades can be replaced.

I am very pleased with my purchase. The shears were well worth the money. Very sturdy and cut up to 1 inch branches.

Excellent shears! The ergonomic handles make it easier to cut thick stems. I’m very happy with the purchase.
