The Felco 2 bypass pruners are an industry standard and are the #1 pick for most professional landscapers and orchardists. Overall, this no-frills pruner offers solid performance and likely years of reliable use. The ¾ inch model is their mid-sized pruner of this design, with a ½” and 1” cutting diameter also available.

The tool also features a built-in sap groove in the bottom blade to help prevent the shears from gumming-up when working with evergreens or other sappy plants. The spring of the tool is strong and held firmly in place. The Corona ClassicCut ¾” seemed to fit the medium-large range for hand size.

The tool locking mechanism was the only real area of frustration as it was difficult to use with gloves on and difficult to engage single-handedly. For under $20, it is definitely in the realm of “budget pruners,” however, it was able to perform as well as other heavy-duty professional pruners several times more expensive. The simple design of the Corona ClassicCUT allows it to be used in both the right and left hand. The MAXFORGED high-carbon steel blade showed no visible signs of wear and kept an incredibly sharp edge after repeated use on both live and dry branches. While lacking in some ergonomic features such as wide, curved handles or a traditional thumb lock, the ClassicCut was surprisingly comfortable to use and maintained its smooth, tight action well after over 100 cuts. It has a very simple yet rugged design with only a few parts. The Corona ClassicCUT ¾” is a great pruner and a pleasure to use.
