Martha Stewart MTS-KGRP1 Handheld Pruner with Knuckle Guard

The first Martha Stewart bypass pruner I got was from her KMart days. The pruner was the best I ever used. It fit my hands, easy to use, switch to lock it so you can put it in your pocket and kept working year after year. Yes, it did wear out, I was heart broken and I have been buying pruners right and left since, all of them no good really. This pruner is the same design as the original KMart design but the handles are not metal. I expect these will work for years. I'm a very happy man now.

I am very impressed with these shears. The quality is really good and they just feel good in your hands. They cut very well.

I bought a pair of these 20 years ago. They lasted until about 3 years ago, them the spring that opens them broke, took 17 years so I'm definitely not complaining. I ordered this pair hoping they were still awesome and they ARE. Great pruners that doesn't make my arthritis in my hands go crazy.

I’ve had these for 5 months and one pair broke. The other pair sticks and doesn’t open and close with the spring anymore.

These work really well for people with hand problems, they are comfortable to use and I am on my second pair

good quality and comfortable grip

I did read the reviews expected them a little bigger but I guess for what I need them for weekly pruning at home and at the cemetary they will do.

I bought 4 sets for personal use and as gifts in 2020. They didn't stand up to moderate use. Within a month, the hook the slide latches on to broke off on at least four pairs. The screw holding them together needs constant tightening. I feel they're unsafe. Came across them taking up space among the gardening tools and felt it was past time to review and recycle.

Just after snipping just a few soft flower stems, the spring got stiff on both tools and now I have have to pry the handles open to take another snip. Not to mention, the locking mechanism looks metal, but it's chrome painted plastic. It dropped on the ground from a short distance and it broke right off. Not to mention, these are very tiny tools (about the height of your hand). I do not recommend, don't trust the brand.
