Title: Disappointing
Review: Given the high reputation of these pruners (and the great reviews they got on Amazon) I decided to invest in them. But as much as I wanted to like them, after six months of use I have to admit I'm disappointed. The blade has already dulled and shows signs of rust, and the pruners now often stick (i.e., do not snap back open after a cut and need to be nudged open). I have oiled them regularly and sharpened as well. It's possible I'm missing something on the maintenance front. But after only six months one would expect a quality product to work well even with less-than-perfect maintenance, no? In short, in my experience these have been no better, and actually a bit worse, than the "regular" pruners you can buy for 1/3 the price.
Is the review positive or negative?
