I buy the cheapest one . . I think they are $4 @ Walmart . I've bought many of them . Often enough they won't completely close when cutting. But they will cut a 1/2 to 3/4 inch branch but prehaps not a clean cut on a 1/8 to 3/8 inch branch. But they are cheap enough to be an actual bargin and sometimes they work perfectly
The Walmart prunning shears long handle are absolutely the best of any shear. The steel tube handles never slide off the shank as they do in a $30 high quality shear . The $7 Walmart shears ( yellow handle ) can cut through a one inch or larger branch with one handle braced against the ground while I use my body weight on the other handle. Cuts refrigeration copper tubing very nicely with one handle braced against the floor. The cutting steel doesnt deform or snap. The handles stay on . . They cut aluminum cable easily up to say 3/8 inch thick . They are great for yard clearing, and scrap metal applications and I highly recommend then.
I should add I use a cheap hand pruner in clearing land rendering long branches to small pieces. A precision cut is not my goal.

I bought Felco F-2 pruners this year and love them. Amazon has them listed at $52 right now. My Corona shears I now refer to as my "Dirt shears". I actually use the dirt shears more as I reserve my Felco's for actual tree pruning. Over on Plant Abundance's channel he did a video showing where he received counter-fit pruner when he ordered Felco. Amazon made it right and he shows them side by side, pointing out the differences. Hard to tell apart if you don't know what you are looking for. Stay busy!

I usually use my felco's. I bought some smaller ARS for pruning veggies and harvesting fruit. Definitely worth considering these as an slightly cheaper alternative. Have used fiskars and coronas and they're not really worth discussing. I also have a pair of felco loppers. They go through everything like butter. $$$. But...I happen to like premium tools. Most of my pruning saws are also pretty pricey.

I have had my felco's for 33 years. they are well worth the investment if you use them regularly. I have had coronas... I wouldn't buy another pair. these are the ones I allow people to borrow. never allow my felcos to leave my possession.

The great thing about Felcos is that all parts are replaceable. One set, for life. They also carry dozens of models for every application and also carry different sizes to accommodate those whose hand size is larger or smaller to ensure ease of use. I have tiny hands and found that on some cheap brands, I can barely reach the far side of the grips!! That results in hand fatigue, quick. You only get what you pay for definitely applies here!

In 2018 Amazon sold me a pair of Ganchun 8" Bypass Pruning Shears in 2018 for $3.98, with free Prime shipping; at the same time I purchased a pair of expensive ( $36.95) Secateur clippers for my wife, but I much prefer the Ganchun Shears and would buy more for gifts if Amazon still carried them. They were an amazing bargain.

I bought a branded clone of the Felco 13. I thought they'd be OK but not as good as Felco. They are in fact bad, really bad. Dimensionally similar but the hardening isn't as good as Felco. The blades separate and the material being cut jams between the blades on about 75% of thinner cuts so I have to swap between them and my Genuine Felco 2 when doing mixed size pruning. It's worth paying for Felcos - they are pleasant to use.
I have one regret with Felcos, that I didn't buy my dad a pair as a present when he was alive - I never knew about them.

I worked as a gardener for over 35 years and I used a cheap set of anvil pruners that I got in my local hardware store. Same with my loppers... anvil with wooden handles. I kept them well-maintained and sharp and if I lost them, I knew that I wouldn't have to mortgage my house to buy a new pair.

Those were the days before everything was made in China and anything that wasn't cost a fortune. The quality was good and I still have them and use them on my own property now that I'm retired.

I have a pair of Felco, Stihl and Blue Hawk clippers that I picked up in yard sales over the years. They all work well for me for the price that I paid for them, since I keep them sharp and never use them on branches that would be beyond their capability to handle. Same with the loppers with the wood handles. If the branch is too large for them to handle, I take the time to go get my pruning saw....also bought in the hardware store.

"Pruning Shears" vs Felco is like "Gimbal" (that is visible in shots) vs DJI OM5. LOL. Thanks for the review. I totally relate to contractor quality vs Harbor Freight - sometimes that HF tool is all you need, sometimes you pay extra for the best.

I actually love my okatsune with 61hrc Rockwell hard Japanese steel you only get this type of hardness in absolut high end knifes. This hardness leads to long lasting sharpness and in my home garden I only sharpen them twice a year. So I get them back to ridiculous sharpness it's addictive now in November to check the sharpness on the thumb nail because the garden is now ready for winter.

I used Felco’s for 13 years as a professional landscaper , they are rock solid absolute best in the industry benchmark, my pair that was well worn was stolen from my truck, I no longer work in the field. but recently for home use I tried the haus and garten brand they have titanium blades. run from 40 to 50 dollars and I have to say i’m impressed. the mechanism you were unsure of is how you take it apart to change blades and tighten it back down. Felcos are definitely the industry standard. and will last a lifetime if there is no thievery. 👍🏻
