OK, here is a beginner question to get you guys amused: What is the
difference between various pruner types, e.g., Anvil and Bypass? What
kind does a serious beginner want, which is not an overkill but also
won't need replacing next year?
Fiskars. I bought this one at Home Depot. The thing I like about it is
that it has gears on the jaws which multiply the action, making it a lot
easier to cut with. They are stout, and I've had this one for about five
years. I've cut some pretty hard and large stuff with it. The gearing is
where it's at, because the others just use leverage, and if you are stronger
than the shears, they will break.
