Crenova Garden Scissors SH-01 Professional Bypass Pruning Shears/Hand Pruner- Heavy Duty Metal Blade - Ergonomic Rubber Coated Handle - Desinged for Gardening Trimming Work

I received a sample product at no cost for evaluation and review. We already have something like seven or eight pruning shears, ranging from heavy-duty and expensive to cheap and cheerful, and we try to keep them professionally sharpened. With over a hundred roses (some huge climbers), they get a lot of use.When these secateurs arrived, I thought they looked small, but in use they perform like my heaviest, sturdiest ones. The light weight and ergonomic profile are noticeable advantages after hours of continuous use. The blade is extremely sharp and capable. I was surprised at the size of cane they can handle, both living wood and harder dead branches (easily 1 cm in diameter), although I will keep these strictly for fresh wood to avoid dulling the blade. Also they cut cleanly instead of crushing. The blade metal seems to resist dirt and it's easy to wash the sap off it before storing. I find the handle really comfortable to hold, the spring is strong and the locking catch works, although the design didn't look terribly secure at first.I also love the bright orange and black colour, I wish the handles were all orange. I have lost sight of my green shears several times, and even my black ones can be difficult to spot if carelessly dropped on the ground. But orange does stand out and the rubber stays fairly clean. I am delighted with these secateurs and now they are the first ones I reach for when I have some serious pruning to do.

Does the job quite well, for light pruning and trimming.Like the yellow color!

These seem sturdy enough for the salmonberry and thimbleberry bushes I've been cutting. Easy to find (orange handles) when I lay them down. I do wish the cutting blades were just a little bit longer, but all in all they are good little clippers. They fit my hand and seem well built

it cuts well, but the safety lock is too loose, and once you keep cutting branches it closes by itself and locks. it also can hurt your hand.

These are a nice pair of shears. I like the feel and they did not immediately discolor as many do with use. I am left-handed and these work fine for me. I have used these for roses, dahlias, and general trimming.

These are not very comfortable. They are fine for basic pruning in the flowerbed, but they are not very sturdy, and the weight does not feel good in the hand (cheap, lightweight plastic.) I will not try to use them for my heavy ornamental grasses, because they will probably break. Would not buy again.

The safety latch was constantly slipping and locking them while I used them. It is VERY frustrating because I had to keep unlocking them all the time. They are junk so I just threw them away.

Works great. Cuts easily even through thick blackberry vines and fits well in my hand.
