 The best ratcher pruner I've ever had! Sep 28, 2009
By xFlyer
These are sturdy, reliable, high-quality pruners and, by far, the best ratcher pruners I have ever used. I have a large mature yard with at least a hundred bushes, shrubs, and trees and I do all the trimming/pruning with these Barnel pruners, a small saw, and a Fiskars 15-Inch PowerGear Anvil Lopper #7972(an incredibly useful tool also available at Amazon). With my heavy use, these pruners last about 2 years before they need to be replaced. I have been happily using the Barnel pruners for about 5 years.

Afraid of Losing this Gem!! Feb 19, 2011
By Robin Bedell-waite
I bought these somewhere and then couldn't find another pair in local stores. I took a class where we had to bring our own pruners and was totally afraid of losing these!!! Our teacher said ratcheting pruners are not very good, but when he tried these he was impressed. I have arthritis in my hands and really need these as they require less strength. I believe if you look at the reviews for the Toro 29206 Ratcheting Pruners (that are no longer sold) they really are this product. I'm buying two of these! I'm also going to buy the other Barnel pruners (B575) to check them out.

take it easy on me Oct 19, 2010
By kiss
Why you can't purchase a rachet pruner in a Lowes or Home Depot is beyond me...why wouldn't they sell this amazing pruner to the general public. I want to enjoy working out in the yard not kill myself. Saturday my yard man tried it and now he'll be buying one for himself from Amazon. You can prune anything without effort making the job go smoothly and enjoying the satisfaction of belonging to the secret club of "rachet pruners".

 Like It, Mostly Nov 19, 2011
By sts
This is my first ratcheting pruner and I like it alot. A minor flaw concerns the handle locking mechanism which tends to "lock" unexpectedly. This mechanism is riveted, so I cannot tighten it easily. I haven't tried "peening" the rivet to tighten yet. Also the blade is a little more flexible than other pruners (too thin?). I really like the ratcheting feature, which takes less effort to cut thicker branches than a non-ratcheting pruner.

was Toro Sep 07, 2011
By William
"Bill"
these were 'Toro 29206 Ratcheting Pruner' which i would give 3 stars, but dont want to be unfair if they've been improved.
The release mechanism on the Toro doesn't stay in place and u have to keep re-opening them. i dont know if Barnel has improved the defect.
