gonicc8" Professional Secateurs Sharp Bypass Pruning Shears (GPPS-1002), Tree Trimmers Secateurs,Hand Pruner, Garden Pruner, Gardening Scissors, Bonsai Tools

These are strong and sturdy, I'm not the strongest of women but I found pruning even larger branches of my bay tree very easy to do. Their sharp and have a safety catch while not using. I would highly recommend these secateurs.

Excellent, very hardy and sharp

I recently got my hands on the Gonicc 8" Professional Secateurs, and for a budget-friendly pair of pruners, they’ve impressed me so far. They seem to do the job pretty well, whether I’m tidying up rose bushes or trimming back lighter branches, they cut through with ease. The blades are sharp, giving clean snips without much effort, and the build feels sturdy in hand, with a solid weight that doesn’t scream “cheap.”Visually, they’ve got a strong resemblance to Felcos, same sleek, ergonomic vibe with a red handle that looks the part. Now, Felcos are the ultimate in my book, nothing beats their precision and durability for serious gardening. But at a fraction of the price, these Goniccs hold their own for casual use. I’ve been using them for pruning tasks around the garden, and they’re decent enough, no complaints about performance on small / medium stems or green wood.That said, I’m not sure how they’ll fare in the long run. The jury’s out on durability, will they stay sharp and solid after a few seasons? Hard to tell yet, but for now, they’re not showing any signs of weakness. For the casual gardener who isn’t hacking through thick branches daily, they’re a steal. They won’t dethrone Felcos as the gold standard, but they don’t need to, at this price, they’re a practical pick that gets the job done without breaking the bank. Not bad at all!

These are brilliant cut through some thick storks

First impressions are favourable, comfortable in the hand and sharp

Great quality used as soon as delivered would recommend very sturdy and sharp

These are 5 times cheaper than a premium brand like Felco, so you would expect the quality to be lower. This is of course the case, but used sensibly they seem to be fine.If you deal with stems which are the size which cut with one hand without undue pressure you'll find the cutters sharp and efficient.With premium secateurs you can abuse them without ill effect. For example you might attempt a branch which you know is a little too big. You end up using two hands to squeeze them shut, or squeeze and rock up down left and right to get through the thick branch. You probably won't get away with that with these. The casting of the body, judging by the photos on the negative reviews here, is not premium grade aluminum. Therefore use a saw or loppers for branches which are too thick for easy cutting. Otherwise the casting may break.I purchased these as a second pair as sometimes my wife and I both need secateurs at the same time. These have been fine for light to medium duty pruning. They come extremely sharp and used as intended have remained that way. If they start requiring extra pressure this will mean they need sharpening. They are perfectly comfortable to use and thus far nothing has come loose. I'll keep an eye on tightness and adjust if necessary.Don't expect a premium product for bargain price and be sensible with them. Recommended.

These are great for pruning. Easy to handle and give a sharp clean cut.
