Title: doesn't live up to the Corona name
Review: I bought this ratcheting lopper expecting it to perform well given the Corona brand name, but it's a disappointment. The problem is that the ratcheting mechanism frequently does not kick in. I have used other larger ratcheting loppers before and even the cheap ones work better than this mini one. Here is what it does: The lopper makes a bite into a very thick branch and it doesn't have enough leverage to make the cut all the way through. This is perfectly normal for a ratcheting lopper. What is not normal is that when I open the lopper handles again, the ratchet frequently does not advance to the next step. The result is the leverage does not increase as it should and the lopper just gets stuck on a branch that it can't cut through. Sometimes it works, but often it doesn't.
