Corona BP 3180D Forged Classic Bypass Pruner with 1" Cutting Capacity, 1", Red

Coronas are a great product because they're sharp and they work really well. These make a great gift for anybody that likes to garden or if you need to get a gift for your mom or your husband and they already have everything I guarantee that a new set of Coronas will be well received because over time everybody needs a new pair of Coronas. Corona is a really good brand and whenever you hand these out as a gift everybody smiles I don't know why because I guess it's because there's so many cheap brands out there that when they receive a premium quality product that has a locking mechanism a great red handles - good blade length and they're very sharp They seemed to always be a great gift. So if you're looking for the perfect Christmas gift for your sister or your mom or your husband or even your gardener it's this is a cost-effective and well received item.

Growing roses are my thing and these pruners are the best I've found. I have about 40 roses in my garden and, owing to the long growing season in Central Texas, pruning is a regular chore -- the only thing I do more frequently is mow the lawn! I used to just buy a new pair of pruners every year or two from Lowe's to get me by. But I noticed how high the attrition rate became: some cheap pruners would break (especially if they have a fancy open/close mechanism, or cheap springs), others would get dull and stay dull, others just simply felt uncomfortable in the hand, and some were the wrong size or design. I finally decided to invest in a good pair of pruners that would last more than one season and these were it! I know there are more expensive ones out there, but, in my opinion, having tried the "best," I think Corona offers the best bang for the buck of any pruner on the market. The pruners are constructed of forged steel throughout, so that the handle actually extends directly from the blade in one piece of steel. The two "halves" (if you will) are connected by a very stout screw and the spring mechanism is very durable and reliable. The red rubber coating on the handles is very nice and holds up really well. Best of all, unlike many fancy pruners found at Home Depot, the blades are very easy to sharpen and seem to hold an edge much better than the competition. I had high ideas of sharpening this thing monthly, but it never happens. Truth is, it doesn't really matter! With my 40-some rose bushes, I made it through a whole season without sharpening and they still slice through rose canes with an effortless and perfectly clean cut. Overall these pruners are very comfortable and have a natural feel in the hand. The springs work reliably but are neither too strong nor too weak. Like all pruners, they require a bit of basic maintenance beyond sharpening. Oil regularly. I use Wahl clipper oil and have found it very good. You will also notice they get gummed up from plant matter and sappy substance. This is super hard to clean off with soap and water. Rubbing them down with alcohol is great to prevent the spread of disease, but does very little to prevent gummy buildup. I do two things. First, soak the blades i a bowl of vinegar. The acid will help loosen up the gunk without damaging the pruners. Secondly, clean with Fast Orange or a similar pumice-based cleaner. Pumice is the gritty, sandy stuff in the soap that really scrubs off the gunk. Fast Orange also contains copious amounts of citric acid to help clean thoroughly without the use of petro-chemicals. This gets the bulk of the gunk off and will leave your blades shiny clean! Overall I highly recommend these pruners and will return to buy more for many years. I'm very pleased with my purchase and always recommend these to my neighbors when they come to me to get advice from the "rose guy."

After leaving my favorite Corona Pruner at an unknown location, I was extremely pleased to find the same pruner and sheath available at a very reasonable price. This pruner is high quality, sharp and easy to use, cutting through branches easily & the locking device is simple to use as well.

Gets the job done

Fits my hand Very sharp.

A great, inexpensive pruner. Will dull soon if used everyday (which I do). But easy to sharpen. A good weight, easy to open and close with one hand.

I've purchased a bunch of different pruners to cut flowers with but these are the nicest ones that I've ever used. Sharp and easy to get nice clean cuts with. Highly recommended.

I've used a lot of pruners in my life, but none have ever surpassed Corona. If you take care of them, its very likely your Corona pruners will outlive you. They do what they do, and they do it well. No frills, no fuss, just durability. The fact alone that the locking mechanism is tied to the handle and not the blade is enough to rule out the others. I've had others where the locking mechanism gets "loose" and locks after every cut.

Corte todo mi jardín con estas tijeras y realmente me sorprendió el filo, incluso pequeños troncos los cortó como si nada.

Good quality product! Cuts with ease, the spring actively bounces back encouraging you to prune. All in all a great product!

Great wuality

Ottimi materiali e ben costruito. Il peso non è proprio piuma, va bene per mani medie.
