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?


A good pair of Corona bypass pruners is an excellent start. For twice
the money you can have Felco's and somewhere in between Okatsune's.


I use FELCO 7 and FELCO 13 pruners. The #7 has a rotating handle (Easy
on the hand) and the #13 has a longer hand grip affording more torque.
They can be taken apart and have replacement parts.
