CoronaStainless Steel Bypass Pruner

works well and fits my hand. Its very sharp so was able to cut up to 5/8 inch without too much trouble and if kept sharp I expect they will perform very well over time. My only issue was that the little loop that keeps the tool in the closed position, must have become pinched during use so that the hook no longer fits in it, preventing me from closing the tool. I am sure I will be able to adjust that with pliers, but a minor annoyance in the field.

Exactly as described work great .

I love d feel in my hands. Heavy-ish feels sturdy. I love corona quality pruners.

These clippers rusted all over after only a few uses. The hinge for the blades barely opens. They are NOT sharp. They were not wet; and stored indoors. I would not recommend them. I've bought many pairs of Corona clippers over the years, but this is the last pair for me.

The 1/2" size works perfect for light to medium pruning. The "Classic" is exactly that for a good reason, it works well and lasts for decades. I also have some articulated - ergonomic Fiskars but will always reach for the Coronas first. If your pruning involves hard wood or thicker branches, I'd recommend going with the 3/4" or 1" size for extra leverage, but they also weigh more and need a larger hand.
