These Corona knock-offs are well made, sharp and durable. Notably, the blades on these are angled making them much easier to use than straight-line Corona pruners. Unlike other pruners in this price range, they don't loosen, come apart or quickly become dull after a month's worth of use. These pruners are a bit heavy and the handles open wide for cutting 1 thick branches. Bahco pruners are supposed to be the best but they cost 6X as much. I suppose Bahco is the professional's choice but I'm usually pruning for an hour or two at a time, not throughout an entire day's work, day after day. I've used these G&F pruners for a few months and am completely satisfied. I routinely use them to cut branches requiring two hands to cut and the pruners keep working well.I suggest DMT D2K 2.5-inch Dia-Sharp Diamond Mini-Hone Kit, $20.27 currently, or DMT Diamond Mini Sharp, Coarse, $8.79 currently, to keep these pruners sharp; no water or oil required.  Read Less
