work horse of my year round pruning Jan 09, 2010
By JD I am a life time gardener, (fairly long one at this point!) and a Master Gardener. Good pruning is the secret to a beautiful and mostly disease free garden. These by-pass pruners are the best I have ever used for the smaller jobs. I am on my 3 or 4th pair simply because these smaller tools have a way of jumping into the recycle bag or disappear in the garden. If you care for these tools and keep an eye on them so they don't disappear into the yard they will last for years. Some simple guidelines for maintenance of pruners is to always clean them with rubbing alcohol after use so as not to spread disease and sharpen them before putting them away. To sharpen the pruners run the sharpening stone one way only from the base of the cutting blade to its tip. When in the garden carry a small sharpening stone and be sure to sharpen the pruners often. If they are not cleaned, and do not use water as it will ruin the blade and does not kill any disease that may have gotten on the blade, the blade will get gummy with sap and not open properly. It also helps to not drop them too often or use them for any other purpose but pruning.

Tough, heavy and reliable...made in USA Dec 20, 2008
By Rob Fletcher
"Fletch"
I only bought this pruner because my Swiss-made Felco pruners cost so much I'm not comfortable using them for rough work. But it turns out that these pruners are every bit the match for the pricey ones. And they are even heavier duty than any pruner at any price that I've found. USA all the way, baby.

Blades stick Aug 23, 2009
By Mark P
"Mark"
We bought 2 Corona Clipper 1-inch capacity Bypass Pruners #BP 3180, and at first were very happy with the pruners. The problem with both of the pruners is that after a bit of use the blades get somewhat sticky and the spring is not strong enough to automatically re-open the blades. This becomes quite time consuming to have to either manually re-open the blades or to constantly have to remove the sticky from the blades and re-oil them. This greatly increases the maintenance required for the pruners compared to other pruners we have used. I will probably try to return both pruners.

Great pruner! Jul 08, 2009
By GNY
"GNY"
This is a great, reasonably priced pruner. The swiss Felco's are really nice, but not 2x nicer IMO.
They have a nice heft with plenty of cutting power and the coated handles are a nice touch.

Last forever Dec 24, 2009
By Mike B
"Mike"
I've had Corona Clippers for over 20 years and they still work great, these essentially last forever if you treat them with routine care for garden tools.
