I need to cut dead branches more than anything. You explained everything so well. I didn’t know the difference between anvil, bypass and ratchet. I have arthritis in my hands so I would like a softer grip and pruners that help with the pressure. It was also very helpful to hear about the different blade materials. I don’t use mine in the rain and store them in a water tight storage container. Thank you for a very thorough video.

Excellent comparison of main pruner types, as well as very good information on when you would use each. By far THE BEST, most concise information and examples I've seen in videos and read in articles- without unnecessary fluff or sponsor opinion. Always love watching your videos. I can tell how much education, knowledge, and experience you bring to your videos! I would love to see more on different garden tools; comparisons, reviews, examples of when and how one might use them. Thank you! God bless!👩🌾🌹🌿😊

For pruning trees, it's usually more effective to use bypass shears. They provide cleaner cuts and are great for precision when dealing with branches. from personal experience:)

I’ve had my steel Fiskars bypass pruners since abt 1997-98. They are still in fantastic shape as I make sure to clean and sharpen them after every season’s use. I also have had my Fiskars Micro-Tip snips for about 10-11 yrs now and they still cut like hot butter. And those poor souls have been left outside accidentally several times. 💚. Also, can you show us which veggies would be best to prune? I prune basil, tomatoes and peppers but I’ve never touched cucumbers or others.

I have used and still have quite a few other brands and types of garden, I call them Clippers. These are my go-to. Corona FL 3420 loppers 💞 Felco 903 sharpening stone Corona 3/4" bypass Pruners # 3160 Also Corona 1" bypass # 3180D For Snippers, I call the fine point Horticultural shears, I have several Japanese manufactured, great little work horses and use them far outside of their predicted range. BTW I have no affiliation with Corona. I simply have found them to be the best overtime and for me. All of those listed above have been in continual use for 10 years or more. Also by the way the pictured brand above as I right, I have a pair of the bottom black handle cushion grip clipper. I liked it quite a lot but for several reasons prefer the corona design. Have also had the small snippers, worked great loved them, until the latching mechanism breaks.

I don't know how I pick what I use. My first choice is going to be my newest bypass followed by a ratchet pruner. I don't so much like anvil but I use them when trimming small trees. I have small hands and not that strong so I work with what will do the job with the less effort.

I'm not a professional landscaper but if I were I would use nothing other than Felco, that's what I use. Swiss made and they are not cheap however, if you don't abuse them, you'll hand them down to your next generation. Cheap tools need to be replaced and make your task difficult, fine tools make your task enjoyable. I love my Felco.

great video.... however, I must say that if you have rust on your stainless blade, there are two possibilities. Either it ain't stainless, or that ain't rust. The ONLY time I've seen rust on stainless was on a boat anchor after years in the salty ocean. Stainless simply doesn't rust in other conditions.

The latching mechanism on some wears quite quickly and stops functioning. Some also will cease to stop the pruner from spreading so far that the spring will become unhooked and fall to the ground and possibly be lost. I've found it difficult to find one that will last in those two areas.
