Landscaper rant

Okay, Random thing here that nobody will care about but this particular set of hand pruners is the very best you can possibly get.

They're superior to every other set of hand pruners I've ever used in my decade long career, and everyone should have a set for general non-metallic shearing activities.

The safety closure doesn't jam and it's hard to trip by accident, the blade can handle stuff you'd have to bust out the Loppers for, and the anvil is articulated, which doesn't sound like much, but it's goddamn crucial.

And the mostly plastic construction means they're just the right weight and almost unbreakable. And they don't misalign like snap cuts, don't flex like bypass pruners, and the blade is made of proper steel. As long as you're not an idiot and snip a bunch of steel wire with them, they'll last for years.
