"25"" Easy Reach Bypass Pruner"  Product Reviews

"For those of you who are tired of being stuck and cut by your rose bushes this is the greatest pruner ever. I did two complete rose gardens and was not hurt once. Enabled me to get to hard to reach areas easily. They cut quickly and sharply. My hand was not fatigued despite having carpal tunnel. Bought another pair as a gift for family. I highly recommend this item."

"I didn't mean to buy these, but they came in a bundled set a few years ago at Costco and I thought it would end up collecting dust. I thought it was interesting, but hardly something I would bother purchasing separately. Little did I know that it would end up as my favorite garden cutter. As the reviewers have mentioned, it allows you to reach into shrubs and trees to reach difficult branches. The narrow profile and small cutting head allows you to get up to the joint of a branch to make a clean cut from a safe distance (Roses, Barberry, Spireas, etc.). It also extends your reach when cutting branches in lower growing fruit trees. The handle is almost entirely plastic, but it's light and rugged with a claps that keeps it shut when not in use. My only gripe is the nature of the collapsing handle which pinches when cutting through thicker branches. You may want to wear gloves while using these, but otherwise it's not a major issue and I don't find it to be bothersome."

"This pruner is great! It's light as a feather. You can choose to squeeze it at the very end or any place along the tool that you find convenient. Very sharp and cuts easily. I bought it primarily to trim branches from a very thorny bush. This tool allows me to reach in without constantly impaling myself with the incredibly sharp thorns. It allows me to reach branches over my head without resorting to my pole lopper. Overall a wonderful tool and I highly recommend it."

"I first saw our gardening tv personality using this shear. A little web research and I found it. It is great. The power of this particular design is outstanding. And the ergonomics are superb. As an Industrial Designer myself I can attest to it's excellence."
