Not as bulky as so many rotating-handled pruners - cuts perfectly Dec 18, 2008
By Gen of North Coast Gardening
I can't stress enough how much I love this line of Bahco pruners. I have the non-rotating handled one, and gave up my previously-beloved Felcos in favor of the Orange Menace as I call it. The blade stays sharp a long time, and the ergonomic design really and truly cuts down on wrist pain, and also cuts down on trips to my truck to get my loppers, as it cuts very thick branches that no other handheld shear can touch.
I'm a pro, so a year of use is probably like ten years of home use.
Now to this model specifically: I thought that the rotating handle might help reduce pain for the upcoming pruning season, but I'd had problems gripping other brands of rotating handled-pruners in the past because they are so big and bulky, and the rotating handle makes it easy to drop them. Not a problem here. The handle is the slimmest I've ever seen and is easy to pick up and grip, and really is better designed for ergonomics.
Highly recommended. I'd get the stationary handle for regular garden work, and the rotating handle if you regularly hold the pruners in your hand for more than an hour at a time, like for serious fruit tree work or propagation.

Great! Oct 17, 2010

After researching the web for a new pair of pruning shears, I came across the North Coast Gardening blog written by Genevieve in which she rates many different brands of pruners. In addition she has also included a review on this site as well.
Whenever I purchase anything, I practically research it to death using sources from throughout the web. Because of the above article, as well as other reviews, I decided to try the Bahco PX-M2 pruning shears. However, I was still a little apprehensive about trying a brand I'd never heard of, so I ordered an additional pair of Felco No. 2's, as well.
After using both, I've got to say that the Bahcos are now my favorite pair. They cut easily and are very comfortable to use. I'm no spring chicken and have arthritis in my hands, so I appreciate how easy these are to use.
I recommend these highly and hope that others will not hesitate to try this brand. I'm glad I made the change.
Just a quick tip: Aside from the usual maintenance of cleaning & oiling, I have found that running an emery board over the cutting edge maintains just the right amount of "catch" on the edge. You can purchase good ones at Sally beauty supply stores, or whatever is similar in your area. I find them indispensable for working on curved edges that need a slight touch-up.

Move over Felco Mar 15, 2011
By Eileen
If you love to prune your garden, or maybe you use pruners as apart of your job as a landscaper. Get rid of those Felco's and move over to the easier side with Bahco. No more hand, wrist, forearm or elbow strain. I love these and will NEVER go back to the "old way".

I have owned and used many of the top-of-the-line hand pruners from Fiskars, Corona, Felco, Toro, Stihl -- and I feel none are in league with the Ergo style design of Bahco. Very strong, long-lasting blades and grips, and the ergo-nomic design that saves the user 40% exertion energy. I have searched for a better product; there is none.

Bahco accept no substiutes... Apr 16, 2012
By Hillhikerz
I am a pro since 71' and complained to my garden vender about carpel aches and pains many years ago... they turned me on to the Bahcos and I have never looked back... and no more wrist spasms... the steel they use for the blade is the best; an edge really holds but is easy to touch up... do your self a favor, you will not regret it...
