Best Pruning Shears
Pruning shear picks split between bypass (live wood, clean cuts), anvil (dead wood, splitting), and ratchet (low-grip-strength users). Felco dominates the premium tier; Fiskars and Corona fill the homeowner. Differentiators: blade type, cut capacity, grip ergonomics, and rebuildability. Synthesized from gardening publications and r/Gardening verdicts.
Each top-5 pick gets a distinct “Best For” classification so a single list serves multiple buyer profiles. Expected categories for pruning shears:
Best overall (Felco)Best bypassBest anvilBest ratchet (low grip strength)Best left-handedBest premiumBest budget
