EZ-Kut Products Heavy Duty Ratchet Pruner, Pink

Love love love these pruners! They easily cut through some large branches without taking much wrist strength. I do a lot of trail cleaning and these are absolutely perfect!

I now have two pair of these pruners. Great for all pruning. I like the fact that they will cut the heavier branches and then can be used on the finer branches. The color is great - they don't get lost when you put them down!! Been using these for a couple of years and will keep using as long as I can. Makes it much easier on the arms and hands than the traditional pruners. I had to get a second pair for our time in California !! Back in Canada they will cut the juniper dead branches with ease - and junipers are a hard wood especially when the branches are dead.

I bought these cutters for my girlfriend who likes to tinker in the gardens a lot. The ratchet feature, allows slightly larger branches to be cut easily by ratcheting a little bit at a time. The pink color goes with the pink gardening kit I bought for her - so as to not confuse "her" tools with my more "manly" tools. (LOL). I have a set of these cutters (similar) for years and they really do work well and keep a lot of the stress off the hands and wrists. Certainly do recommend them for anyone who is serious about their gardens and gardening.

I am not a gardener, so I don't have much to compare it to. But it was an easy fit in my typically smaller than most hands and easily cut through overgrown rose bush stems. I have arthritis in my fingers, and was suprised how little grip strength this required. My one star off is because the ratcheting system was awkward to figure out, and I had to use two hands to get it set up to cut the larger pieces because I could not get it all the way open with just one hand. The pink is nice - stands out and will be less likely to get lost in my garage shelves.

This is extremely annoying for me, because o have chronic pain and I don’t want to waste my time cutting branches. I expect them to cut the first time, but these are SO DULL, I have used them hoping I was wrong when I wrote the first review, but I would not recommend these at all. It’s too bad, because I have very tiny hands, and these fit very well. But that doesn’t do any good if they don’t cut. Also, the clasp is very hard to work and get open and closed. I like them, because they fit and are cute, but it’s probably too late to return these. 🥲 Update: Ivtried to sharpen these with a grinder, but they were just as bad as the first few times I use them. Obviously, it’s too late to return them, so I’m hoping to help you not make the same mistake I did. The chronic pain thing makes it very difficult to return things, so I have a lot of things lined up that I can’t use. What happened to Amazon picking up the packages at your house?
