very good April 8, 2010 Russell L. Vance (Bozeman Montana) This is the 2nd pair of these I have purchased. After extended use, the ratcheting mechanism sort of wears out & doesnt' work quite right. I tried lubricating the mechanism but it didn't seem to help much. Maybe when brand new you should lubricate with a non sticky type lube regularly, WD 40 or Teflon spray, NOT oil.
Toro Ratcheting Pruners February 6, 2009 Theodore R. Spinning (Southern California) Have not used these new pruning shears for very long, but they appear to work as well or better than the other brand that I had been purchasing. The reason for trying these, was to see if their ratcheting mechanism held-up any better; they are about the same in strength, good for branches up to one-half inch in diameter. One other item of note: these shears are made of aluminum, while the others are made of a composite material; don't know which is better as yet. Generally, I used these pruners to cut-up the small twigs and branches, the residue from my pruning trees with loppers, to put in the trash barrel; many thousands of cuts each year, and these pruners usually last about two-three years of this useage.
toro ratcheting pruners #29206 December 12, 2008 Jay Oberlander (Flordia) Works very good and the frist time I used used it little pin came out and then it wouldn't work. I called toro and they said they didn't have any repair parts but they would send me a new pair,thought that was very fair. Thanks Jay O
great little pruners November 23, 2008 Rebecca S. Meyer (Vail, AZ United States) this tool is dependable and although I have only used it on small project it performs well.
Good quality, good warranty November 9, 2008 SoCal Gal (CA, United States) My pruners arrived with a missing nut but the customer service rep at Toro happily mailed me a new pair. They work very well for someone with little hand strength. They're great for cuts on branches of trees and shrubs, especially the ones that have died and I need to cut them back. They do not, however, replace bypass pruners for delicate stems like roses or hydrangeas. They can crush some stems, not always, but it is worth mentioning. Compared to other ratcheting pruners, these are light, comfortable and the holes in the handle make it possible to hang on a nail.
