Gonicc 8" Professional Pruning Shears with Ratcheting Mechanism and Anvil Groove Design (GPPS-1011)

Paula L Anderson: I love the easy grip and strength of these pruners. As a “senior woman” I appreciate the ease of buying from my home and receiving reliable tools!

rc1010: I love tools. I've used garden shears for 70+ years. These shears are top performing over all the others that I've seen. The tool will cut amazingly thick branches with little effort. The tool has an excellent design, but the locking device was a bit difficult to engage. That problem disappered after using it more. This tool gets a smile on my face when I use it.

Jan Kaluza: Really happy with this purchase. Have found my hands aren’t as strong as they used to be and I have issues pruning etc in the garden. The ratchet on these secateurs have made a huge difference to what I can do. Very impressed
Liked them so much I got a second pair for a friend who loves them too

Maryon Jeane: My Am-Tech ratchet pruners (two pairs) finally gave up the ghost after many years' hard use (unfortunately both at the same time as I'd bought them at the same time) and I needed to replace them immediately, before it became too late in the year to do some final essential pruning. Unfortunately the Am-Techs don't seem to be the same beasts any more (how often does this happen?...) so it was back onto Amazon to look at the reviews of other ratchet pruners.

Impressed with the reviews for these Gonicc (who?) pruners I sent for a pair - fully intending to return them if they didn't do the job because, having previously bought pairs from garden centres and thrown them across the lawn in frustration, this time I was not going to end up with more duds.

I'm back here to buy a third pair of these pruners (so I can keep a pair to hand at all key locations in the garden)...

What pruners need to do is cut (and so many of the damned things just don't - they chew) - and these cut like a hot knife through butter. They cut through pretty slim twigs (not all ratchet pruners do) and they cut through amazingly thick branches (for pruners, obviously) using the ratchet mechanism....

Amazon Customer: Not bad but I prefer the other snips just a little bit more.

Melissa WattsMelissa Watts: These little shears work quite well at what they're supposed to do. The blade is very sharp and it has a nice size jaw for cutting thicker branches. The ratcheting mechanism performs as advertised.

Here's my problem with these shears...
I have small hands and therefore have a horrible time handling them. As you can see in the photos they're OK when they are closed or slightly open but if I want them open more than 1/2 inch I have to let go of one side of the shears so they will open wide enough to fit the branch in its jaw. Then I have to use two hands to close it like you would large pruning shears.

Other shears I have owned in the past the handle curved inward more so I could open it and still have my fingers on both sides. I bought two pair of these. I returned one pair but no longer have the package for the second pair or I would have returned those as well.

Jill Brown: I liked the overall design, except the way the secateurs were unlocked. The slider was not clearly denoted and was quite stiff at first for arthritic fingers to operate. However once unlocked they were excellent in operation - sharp, and good for woody lavender stems.
I would recommend them highly to seasoned gardeners.

ET: Love the way it cuts and the ergonomics for the hand are good. Latch very stiff—sometimes can’t even open or close with both hands. I just store it with blades open now.
