In the language of todays kids, These pruners ROCK! I have used several lesser pruners from the usual sources Walmart etc., and have not been satisfied til now. These are typically well constructed and sharp. I have dispatched several annoying small trees (up to about 5/8 inch dia.) and numerous vines and other garbage around the home. I love the weed toot cutter and the handy screwdrivers in the hadles as well. I think Leatherman hit a home run with this product.Leatherman 830555 Hybrid Gardening Multitool with Nylon Sheath
