cool tool Apr 21, 2010 These clippers are great. Easy to grip and sharp enough to really get the job done. I like the locking hook that keeps them closed when not being used. Also, the red handles are a big help to spot them when you've laid them down among your clippings.

Handle Failure After One Year of Light Use Apr 12, 2010 It looks so elegantly designed, and worked great when it was first used. However, after making several 3/4" cuts I first noticed that the handles were bent inward. So I straightened them and continued using them on smaller tasks. But alas the handles were still rebending, even on 1/2" branches and stems. Then after restraightening it for about the 3rd or 4th time, one of the handles snapped about 3/4" from the center (axle) of rotation; right where the cross-sectional area of steel is smallest.
Perhaps the steel was never heat treated, or was heat treated incorrectly. The quality of the steel could have also been of inferior composition. Regardless, I will not purchase another of these.
Great pruner. Mar 28, 2010 I recently purchased these pruners in a package that contains a second pruner that also cuts string and opens boxes. Lifetime guarantee, and both at the local Costco cost the same as the one on Amazon.

work horse of my year round pruning Jan 09, 2010 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.
Last forever Dec 24, 2009 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.
