I had my doubts about this after trying out the Fiskars version, but am happy to report that this is a simply outstanding tool to have at hand. It's light, well made and sharp - basically, everything you want to have in a pruner/snips.
It will slice through live, non-woody stalks up to about the diameter of a pencil without any problem at all. Perfect for cutting flowers or touch-up pruning. It can also handle woody stalks, but only to about 1/4 inch. Much more robust than the Fiskars. Really easy to maneuver into tight spots - it's replaced my regular pruner for a lot of work. It has a clip on the base to keep it shut, so you can easily slip it into your pocket without any worries about damage (to you, that is, not the pruner).
It's a breeze to sharpen. I recommend the Istor sharpener, but any good sharpener (or stone) will do the trick.
I thought Bahco made everything in Sweden, but according to the placard that came with the clipper, this model is made in France.
Excellent! Highly recommend.
