So far, I am very impressed with the Wallace bypass pruner. It is a great value for the price, as substantial a landscape tools I have purchased for 3-4x as much.
I forgot exactly how it had been described when I took it out in my yard (along with a pair of fiskars pruners) and given the heft, used it when the other pair seemed a bit small. It took out woody branches around 1" diameter with no trouble (their description says green live growth up to 3/4")...so in the future I won't push it... or maybe I will just get a back up set (at that's a reasonable thing to do).
Having had it just a week or 2 I can not say how well it will hold up to the elements (and it will surely get a test here). Rust proof? I haven't seen it yet (note this was from another review, not the company's description, so I will not hold it against them if it rusts). All that said, I would guess the most vulnerable part would be that little spring in the middle; also where the "watch those fingers" remark comes from. The design is very similar to a pair of Henckels poultry shears I have. The little spring thing on those does rust and pretty quickly, indoors....but it also makes for greater leverage and ease of use. (In another review I recommended them for arthritis sufferers). These work very well, but that resemblance gives me pause. I can see someone easily removing a digit with these.
It pays to be careful with any tool; the more effective, the more so.
In sum, these are a powerful garden tool, well worth what amazon charges for them, so much so you may want multiples.
