Can someone recommend a brand of pruning sheers? I've tried every kind
that Home Depot sells and they all fail in one way or the other. The
rotating mechanism made of plastic binds up and doesn't spring open.
Others lock at the drop of a hat. Some won't stay sharp. The hand
grips fall off of others. TIA.

What do you expect from a Walmart-type lawn center?

You expected plastic pruners to last? LMAO!

There's a screw to adjust the tension of the lock, dumbass.

Some won't stay sharp.

No, *none* will *stay* sharp. They *all* require regular maintainence,
dumbass.

The hand grips fall off of others.

Quit looking at the ones in the kid isle.

TIA.

I've got a set of Craftsman and a set of Fiskars, both of which I sharpen
occasionally and both of which have lasted for about 8 years. Both are
lever-action style and have provided satisfactory service.

How can there be self-help "groups"?

Good day Stubbie,
I've used Felco #13 for 8 years now with no issues. I've replaced the
blades every year, but I due lots of cutting with them. Way more than the
average gardener. My second favorites are the Corona brand. These are
generaly well built but you cannot change the blades/parts.

In the furture, it would be best for us if you listed off the brands that
you have tried.

Good day,
Timothy

Sure, you can. You can order replacement pivot bolts with nut, springs, as
well as blades.
