Dramm 18025 with Heavy Duty Blade and Easy Grip Handle ColorPoint Stainless Steel Compact Garden Pruning Shears, Blue...

Unlike the lock on other small pruners I have had, the lock on this pruner is substantial and I feel will last a long time. The pruner feels hefty and well made without being overly heavy. I have retired my other small pruners, all of which remain open with sharp blades exposed because of the slide lock failure. Buy this pruner, you will not be disappointed!

I just love this tool. I lost my first one and had to replace it immediately. It's perfect for houseplants and vegetable plants.

These shears are perfect for making cuts in places where larger shears wont fit. Fruit and flowers will often grow tightly together, which makes it difficult to make a precise cut with regular size shears and pruners. The DRAMM 18024 shears can fit into narrow gaps and make the cut you want without harming the surrounding fruit or flowers. I have been using these shears for months now without any major problems. When cutting sticky plants, such as okra, the blades would sometimes stick together between cuts until I cleaned the plant sap off the blades. I also made the mistake of pruning a branch that I should have used a larger pruner on, which led to pinching my finger between the shear grips. The shears seem to be made well. So far they have stayed sharp after a full summer of use in the garden. I also like the little sheath that was provided to cover the pointy blades. I will update if I have any problems with the shears in the future.

These are the best straighthead trimmers that I have ever used. They are light and very comfortable to use in your hand. They do not make your hands cramp up like most

I got these for trimming tomatoes after my kids lost my pair like this by Fiskars. These shears are SOOO much better than the Fiskars. They are a bit larger so they fit my larger male hands better and they have a really nice heft to them. For pruning our indeterminate tomatoes, they glided through everything I needed to cut with very little effort. I trimmed a whole row of plants in very short order! I think I am going to buy another pair so my eldest son can help me with trimming. Good tools are a must! I removed one star because the minimal plastic sheath for the cutting tip, when the shears are together, come off WAY too easy and is basically disposable. Which means storing them there is a very pointy tool out. Certainly not ideal. I'd definitely still buy them and I will just make a nice leather sheath that fit the entire shear in.
