What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent on size and capacity: the title says 8.5 inches, dimensions state 8.46 inches, and blade length is listed as 8 inches. Cutting capacity is given as about 20 mm / 0.8 inch and elsewhere as up to 3/4 inch. Confirm the selected listing's measurements and intended branch limit. The listed high-carbon steel and feature copy naming SK5 are not fully reconciled. Customer feedback also reports mixed experiences with size and blade sticking shut, so consider fit and operation for your tasks.

Frequently asked questions

What branch size does the listing say these shears can cut?

It states about 20 mm / 0.8 inch maximum in one feature description and up to 3/4 inch when used properly elsewhere. Treat those as inconsistent claims and verify the capacity for the listing you select.

Are the shears suitable for left-handed use?

The listing describes the thumb-slide lock and shears as suitable for both left- and right-handed users, including gloved use.

What pruning jobs are they intended for?

The listed uses include roses, flowers, bonsai, fresh stems, plants, and small branches. The stated capacity is limited and inconsistent, so these claims do not establish suitability for larger limbs.
