ClassicPRO 8.5" Professional Premium Titanium Bypass Pruning Shears - Use As Pruners, Garden Shears, Heavy Duty Handheld Pruning Shears For Gardening, Clippers, Pruner Scissor Tool

Just as good as Felcos & much more affordable. Sharp &’even have replacement blades. Good 😌 alternative for garden clippers.

First time with the Haus and Garten bypass pruner brand. My brand loyalty goes to Corona forged steel and their entire line of garden tools. My drool-worthy choice would be Felco pruners. However for the average home gardener - as am I - Felcos are overkill and cost double to triple for the same model of tools.I tried my new Haus and Garten bypass pruners, here’s the verdict: Very Good to Excellent. (If Felco’s are an A+ these are easily B+ to A-).I spent a few hours filling two 95 gallon bins. Very nice, smooth and clean cuts for dry branches up to 1/2” and all the way to 1” on green branches. Twigs, stems, small bush branches, small palms and ornamentals, piece of cake, no resistance. On large queen palm fronds 7ft to 9 ft little effort up to 3/4” but I used a pruner on anything over that, you just need a bigger too. Used correctly, no fatigue factor - ergonomics are great. The blade and the hook stayed clean, but what I was cutting had very little if no sap so I can’t comment on that.After use I cleaned with isopropyl alcohol on those 1-1/2” white bandage pads I had laying around. They cleaned up, you can’t tell they were used (try that on the lesser brands). I used a drop of mineral oil to put on a thin film to protect surfaces and a drop on the hinge. A tip, save the package the pruners can in and use as their storage case. I put in a couple white gauze pads for the next cleaning.These are made of Japanese grade stainless steel with a titanium coating, far more durable than forged steel which is prone to oxidize, dull and more difficult to clean. I’m hoping for a long time before needing sharpen.A comment on my Coronas: In my opinion Coronas would be included in the top five, no doubt. Coronas last, most of my Coronas are over 35-years, and not worse-for-wear, just a nice rust patina on them. Downside, they must be sharpened regularly either with very fine tanged flat file or a 400 - 600 grit whet stone. A necessary maintenance hassle. But to make any garden tool last and keep working properly, they all must have a sharp edge, just like any knife.

It is sharp, easy to use, light weight and very sturdy and high wuality

Nice pruning shears. They are good quality and the construction is excellent. I have given 4 stars instead of 5 because they are not as sharp as I expected. Still do a good job, though.

I recently purchased the Haus & Garten ClassicPRO 8.5" Professional Titanium Bypass Pruning Shears, and they’ve quickly become my go-to tool for all of my gardening needs. These shears are exceptionally well-made, and the titanium blades provide sharp, precise cuts every time, making pruning a breeze.The ergonomic design is one of the standout features—these shears are comfortable to hold, even during extended use. The handle has a non-slip grip that gives me full control, reducing hand fatigue while trimming branches, shrubs, or flowers. The 8.5-inch size is perfect for getting into tight spaces and making clean cuts without damaging plants.I’ve used these pruning shears on a variety of plants, from roses to thicker stems, and the titanium blades cut through everything effortlessly, leaving smooth, clean cuts that promote healthy regrowth. They feel solid and sturdy, handling tough tasks without any strain on the blades or mechanisms. The bypass design ensures a clean cut every time, without crushing or tearing the plant.Another feature I appreciate is the safety lock mechanism, which works smoothly and keeps the blades secure when not in use. It’s a nice touch for safe storage, especially when you have other tools around.Overall, the Haus & Garten ClassicPRO Pruning Shears are a professional-grade tool that every serious gardener should own. The combination of durability, sharpness, and comfort makes them well worth the investment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality garden shears that can handle heavy-duty pruning tasks!

I love pruning my trees, shrubs and plants. I like to do the pruning by hand and prefer to smaller hand tool vs the larger clippers. I like the easy portability of the hand tool.These clippers are very well made with solid steel for cutting both the delicate plants as well as thicker tree or bush limbs. I have a yucca plant that has a stubborn 1 inch diameter limb and these clippers were able to cut right through with ease.The blades are sharp. The handle is easy to grip and use. They lock and open easily.

Best pruning shears I ever purchased. Very comfortable on the hands with adjustable cutting sizes.

So glad I bought them, they work great. It’s easier to put in my back pocket, while I’m working in the yard, than carrying my big tree pruners. They are sharp too!
