Way better than than the Fiskars I had been purchasing. Very sharp and comfy. There are cheaper but these will last, just clean them up when you are done and a drop of synthetic lubricant.

Comfortable to hold, nice and sharp ( as one would hope!) & appears and feels well made. I would recommend and may but a second one next season.

On 07/2721014, I purchased this CORONA BP 3180 Clasic Cut, 1", Forged Bypass Pruner after an extensive search at local DIY retailers and Garden Centers. In the past 10 yrs, I've gone through 8 pruners, almost 1 per years at the cost of $9-14 apiece. Each of those 8 pruners had some weak plastic part that broke or an unsecured tension spring that either failed or was lost. I was SO frustrated that prominent garden tool manufacturers employed cheap plastic on tools that by their nature, would get a heavy workout. My hunt locally was a bomb, because even $20-$30 pruners had plastic pieces in critical points. I was determined to find an ALL-METAL pair of of hand-held bypass pruners. My choice of this Corona BP3180, 1" Pruner was an AWESOME choice! The product is ALL Metal (forged steel alloy), has a simple but functional design, and has handled all sorts of pruning chores. It's now 9mo. later that I'm writing this review, and these pruners have taken me through 3 Seasons of unusually active yard work without one hiccup. The pruner blade seems to hold a sharp edge well, as I've sharpened it only once. The grip is extremely comfortable, and the spring action is smooth and tight. One particular note: I have a large hand (L-XL size glove), and I believe the grip might be too large for an avg. woman's hand or a small man's hand. I find the spring tension to be perfect, which allows for an easy repetition of quick-cuts, while remains firmly in my hand. The metal blade-locking mechanism is both simple and strong, plus very handy when tucking the pruner in my pocket. The rubber-like coating on the handle grips also lends to its secure grip. I highly recommend this Corona Bypass Prunner (BP3180) if you're needing a strong workhorse pruner, and you're tired of wasting money on cheap plastic tools. At US21, this 1" pruner is a not only an exceptional product, but also a great value...and definitely worthy of replacing your waiting-to-break, metal-plastic doo-hickey. -jRA

Growing roses are my thing and these pruners are the best I've found. I have about 40 roses in my garden and, owing to the long growing season in Central Texas, pruning is a regular chore -- the only thing I do more frequently is mow the lawn! I used to just buy a new pair of pruners every year or two from Lowe's to get me by. But I noticed how high the attrition rate became: some cheap pruners would break (especially if they have a fancy open/close mechanism, or cheap springs), others would get dull and stay dull, others just simply felt uncomfortable in the hand, and some were the wrong size or design. I finally decided to invest in a good pair of pruners that would last more than one season and these were it! I know there are more expensive ones out there, but, in my opinion, having tried the "best," I think Corona offers the best bang for the buck of any pruner on the market.The pruners are constructed of forged steel throughout, so that the handle actually extends directly from the blade in one piece of steel. The two "halves" (if you will) are connected by a very stout screw and the spring mechanism is very durable and reliable. The red rubber coating on the handles is very nice and holds up really well. Best of all, unlike many fancy pruners found at Home Depot, the blades are very easy to sharpen and seem to hold an edge much better than the competition. I had high ideas of sharpening this thing monthly, but it never happens. Truth is, it doesn't really matter! With my 40-some rose bushes, I made it through a whole season without sharpening and they still slice through rose canes with an effortless and perfectly clean cut. Overall these pruners are very comfortable and have a natural feel in the hand. The springs work reliably but are neither too strong nor too weak.Like all pruners, they require a bit of basic maintenance beyond sharpening. Oil regularly. I use Wahl clipper oil and have found it very good. You will also notice they get gummed up from plant matter and sappy substance. This is super hard to clean off with soap and water. Rubbing them down with alcohol is great to prevent the spread of disease, but does very little to prevent gummy buildup. I do two things. First, soak the blades i a bowl of vinegar. The acid will help loosen up the gunk without damaging the pruners. Secondly, clean with Fast Orange or a similar pumice-based cleaner. Pumice is the gritty, sandy stuff in the soap that really scrubs off the gunk. Fast Orange also contains copious amounts of citric acid to help clean thoroughly without the use of petro-chemicals. This gets the bulk of the gunk off and will leave your blades shiny clean!Overall I highly recommend these pruners and will return to buy more for many years. I'm very pleased with my purchase and always recommend these to my neighbors when they come to me to get advice from the "rose guy."
