Super Duty MaxForce™ Bypass Pruner

At first glance this pair of pruning shears look well made. They have a lock to keep the shears closed when not in use. There is also a toggle to switch for hand size, the handle will open slightly more when toggled to the large hand size indicator. They also have an internal spring and are geared for easy cutting. The first thing I decided to prune was my roses, cut like butter and very clean cuts. Next I moved onto some citrus trees and a hong kong orchid tree. It was able to cut through the larger branches very easily and pretty cleanly. I would recommend them over many other pairs I've tried around my garden over the years.

We always need a good pruning shear here as we are sloppy about caring for them. And the springs are usually the first thing to go, and then you need two hands to work it. So this is a nice looking and comfortable pair of shears in my hand. It has an adjustment for hand size, but not a big adjustment, still it’s a neat feature. I took for a test drive and it performed well and felt easy to use. You can lock and unlock it with one hand. Of course, if you use it on oversized branches you’ll damage it like all the others! The internal spring mechanism does provide hope that this might last a few seasons. Of course, that’s also up to us and using it properly. Pretty nice, and hopefully worth the price.

These shears are well made and easy to use. Perfect for small pruning jobs!

This is officially my new favorite pruner!

I use this tool on anything that is in my way, as far as vines and small tree limbs.

This pruners are easy for me to use even with small hands
