Kimura® 8" Pro Bypass Pruning Shears, Heavy Duty Japanese SK5 Steel Blades, 1 inch Cut Capacity, Non-Slip PVC Coated Handles, Lightweight & Ergonomic, Japanese Pruners, Professional Garden Clippers

this tool is very well made and feels great in my hand. I've been using it in the garden and around the house. It is sharp and cuts easily through stems not too thick. I like the locking feature, as it works easily with using only one hand. Seems to me that it will last a long time.

These pruning scissors are sharp, easy to use and comfortable. I have pruned both large and small plants with these scissors and am very pleased with the clean cut and ease of cutting through woody stems. Very good quality and economical price.

Kimura brand made in Taiwan. I like the SK-5 steel and the PTFE coating on the blades. The thumb operated latch works very well and is easy to release. Handles feel comfortable in the hand. The red coating on the handles is smooth to the point of slick. I think it would be better if it had some texture for better grip. Blades are sharp. Overall this tool is good quality and functions well. Durability should be good. Good value for the money.

This is a very good product. In my opinion they are equal to Felco pruners, if not better and way less expensive. The grip is good and they cut clean as the blades are very sharp. I just got them and have not done a lot of heavy pruning since this is the end of the season for pruning. Looking forward to next season when I’ll be pruning on a regular basis.

sharp and effective -- takes little effort to use. Very well constructed with a solid feel and the lock is really great. All you need to do is to press the handles together to unlock the clipper. The handles are a little slick making it seem like you don't really have a good grip on them. Also, the handles are a little short for my hands, adding to the feeling of insecurity.

These pruning shears are of GREAT QUALITY, very SHARP and well CONSTRUCTED, DURABLE and cut with ease, a COMFORTABLE and FUN TOOL

I love the ergonomic designs, sharpness, price, and smart closing/opening mechanism. I also like the fact that the handles are red, which makes it easy to see/find the shears. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. I have gone through a few dozen shears over time, but this one is in the top 4 for me. 5 deserved stars.

Great shears! Light weight a nd super sharp. Perfect for people with small hands as they are so easy to use.
