Corona RP 4224D RatchetCUT ComfortGEL Bypass Pruner, 3/4-Inch, Black

Cuts really well - didn't realise how poor my old ones were!

As with others, I went to use these today to find the nut had fallen out. Impossible to find in the garden! Very angry as only purchased on 13/3/2022 with money given as a present.

I bought these secateurs because they were recommended by Which but I wish I had read other people’s reviews. They were expensive but they were just what I wanted. When they arrived, I was delighted. They did their job really well and then, just like other people’s, a nut dropped out along with the spring and they were useless. I found the spring but the small nut was lost in the soilWhile they worked they were splendid but that is not enough.

The pruners will not fully cut through anything especially stems. Even worse the closer you get to the blade front (pointed end)It looks to me that the blade does not fully close to touch the anvil and they are even more apart the closer to the blade front.Given brand would expect refund (poor quality within a few months) but past date for Amazon.

Returned this on 3rd Feb as a screw was missing making the pruner useless. It is now 16th March and I have received nothing back. No refund so far

I have used this 3 times. Today when pruning a pyracanthus with not particularly thick branches the black connecting part between handles came apart. It looks as if a screw or bolt may have come loose or snapped. My last pair cost around £4 and has lasted 15+years. This cost a fortune and lasted less than a month. I will be returning them.

I bought this for my elderly mother who struggles with managing her garden. The other day, I called her to find that the pruners are no longer working. She said she found one of the big screw in the mud after wondering why it no longer cuts. The smaller screw is too small for her to find. Very disappointing.

TERRIBLE - this broke after 10 minutes of light pruning of Roses.
