What kind of ratcheting pruners do ya'll like? I had a pair of Gorilla Gears that i snapped in two last year.
I tend to lose them so I went cheapo a couple of years ago. Can't lose this flippin pair. :angry9:
Whatever kind I can scrap out of my wife;s gardening stuff.
I got the set from bass pro. There redhead brand ones that are orange and black. I've had them 2 years and they have done some cuttin. They were cheap too

Well.. I went to look for mine because they were good pruners but apparently my little boy "relocated" them for me. Guess I'm in the market too!
I am a landscaper to earn a living and use the Felco brand of pruning tools. Hand loppers (No. 2), folding saws and the long handle pruners. They are fantastic but expensive. I have yet to lose a pair on a hunt (maybe because my livelihood depends upon having them) . They remain sharp and the hand pruners will cut up to 1" hardwood and down to wispy grasses. I hunt with a bow and spend a bit of time clearing enough space for the bow to track a target so having good and efficient pruning devices is imperative for a successful hunt.
My wife's garden set came with a pair of bypass pruners and a pair of anvil pruners. I stole the anvil ones since they do a better job on larger branches and they aren't a good choice for gardening anyway because of how they crush the stem (not a concern when cutting brush).
Corona bypass pruner.

Thanks. Great info!
Gerber saw and ratchet pruner combo. :OGturkeyhead:
I've had a pair of ratchet pruners from Florian for about 15 years now. They work quick and easy, even on limbs that look way too big! They make different colors but I bought yellow so they'd be easy to find if I drop them.
They are still in business and they've got a website where you can purchase them.

I have Florian pruners too, except mine are bright orange. They're sharp, lightweight, and small enough where they don't take up much space in my vest. I also have a Florian 8" folding saw that works great, though I keep it in a fanny pack in my truck & don't carry it all the time. Florian makes some great products!

I broke my Gorrila Gear ones in a week too.
I used to use the Leatherman pruners. I ended up cutting my thumb wide open(my fault) when a twig got caught in between the pruner. I just bought the Hooeyman pruner this year. It also has a small detachable saw. Looks neat but haven't tried it yet.

Another vote here for the EZ KUT. There is always a pair in my vest and as others have said they sell replacement blades for them if you need one. I have never had to replace the blade yet and it has cut many twigs and saplings.
