I'm in love!
Is it possible to have a love affair with new pruners? Mine just arrived and I ran around the yard trimming all sorts of things to try them out. They are terrific. My hands are on the small side and not very strong but these pruners fit nicely and cut everything with ease. I had another ratcheting pruner that was not successful and I hated it. Why didn't I buy these sooner? -
Double edge cutting
This pruner double edge blade that that enters a sheath allowing it to cut on both sides of the blade. The ratchet feature results in more consistent clean cuts. The product description talks about an oil pad (which did not come with mine). It looks practical but I do not see it as an essential item for maintenance. I would like to see a hand trimmer with with longer straight scissor tips designed like this for tight cutting areas.
Response By: Garrett Wade Tech Department
Thank you for your review on the Ratcheting Hand Pruner. The oil pad should be there. If you look at the very last photo in the series of images on the page for the pruner, you will see a demonstration of how the pad slides out. It's a little tricky to remove. If you are having some trouble with it, please feel free to call our technician at 1-800-221-2942. He'll be happy to help.

Best Pruner I've used!
The product was very sharp and easy to handle and use. The product was everything advertised. I purchased one for my son as well, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. -
Great Pruner
It just looked like it would fit a woman's hand. Plus I was intrigued by all the bells & whistles!! -
A Great Pruner
A great pruner! While most people can use a regular pruner the ratcheting ability allows even people with less hand strength to groom their plants -
Reliable pruners with good grip and ease of hard cutting.
Many fine features in this pruner. Good hand grip allows users with large hands but still good for smaller hands, also. Ratcheting takes out the hard work out of cutting tough limbs, like dried maple and oak. Rubberized grip cover keeps grip certaint even when wet or muddy. -
great tool
These are replacing a well used from a Canadian company about 10 years age. Great improvement especially the ease of blade changing and handle texture. Did most jobs my pruner used to do and gets into tight areas to cut -
Fine Tool
Excellent tool at a fine price point -- low. Cuts reliably, good color to help find tool if dropped in the forest. I bought two tools and am glad I did. The tool does have a thumb pinch point so watch where you put thumb. -
Works Good, Built Great
I’ve had a very inexpensive ratcheting pruner for some time, so I knew that, unlike ratcheting loppers like the ones Garrett Wade sells and which work heroically, the performance of ratcheting hand pruners can be disappointing. They’re still worth having at the right price though, and since my old set suffered considerable corrosion in a water-leakage incident, this set caught my eye. Construction is every bit as impressive as it looks in photos, so adding a spare blade to my order was a good decision. And the blade lock is one of the best-placed and easiest-to-use there is. But what I like best is the color. The bright-yellow color of the handles looks especially durable, and is important to me because of the amount of time I spend crawling around the bottoms of my shrubbery while using shears like these. They tend to get left on the ground a lot, and plain or dark colors tend to disappear, sometimes for days. -
Best pruner EVER
Great tool. Had a hand pruner from Garrett Wade, wanted a second one and oh what a gem. You will NOT regret purchasing these. Best pruner I've ever owned.....and less than half the price I've paid before! -
Safe Pruning!
These pruners are amazing. I am taking on the project of reviving a long neglected garden. I hurt my arm last year using a lopers for the same project. As a musician, taking care of my arms is a top priority. I saw these pruners recommended in a magazine article and thought they might be a little more ergonomically friendly. I've used them several times and am delighted by them. The ratcheting mechanism kicks in automatically making thicker branches much easier to prune. My small hands can operate these easily and without strain.

Ratcheting Hand Pruner
Works very well. I am quite pleased. -
So easy to use!
I could easily cut through branches up to about an inch in diameter. My hands are mildly arthritic and no pain after hours of pruning! My husband loves them as well even though his hands are very strong. They're just so easy to use! -
Great Pruners (after some practice)
When I first opened the package, I was disappointed to find that the ratcheting hand pruners were a bit big for my small hands, but decided to try them anyway. Now, I think they will become my favorite hand pruners. It is a delight to be pruning on various trees and not have to go get loppers for the larger branches. Once I figured out how to adjust my grip on the pruners, they worked really well. I also like the attached oiled wool eraser to help keep them clean. Note that directions on the package read as if they were translated directly from the original Chinese and are rather amusing, if not all that clear. I went back to the Garrett & Wade site to review my understanding of the operation of these pruners.) -
Back to beautiful flowers
Very easy to use. My hands are not strong and these allow me to do my yard work with out being in pain and I can work longer to get the job done. Blade is sharp ,light weight and the color makes it easy to find if you lay it down.
