Gilmour Mid-Size Anvil Hand Pruner 1/2-Inch Cutting Capacity Teal #18T
I was sent the 1/4 chinese model and promptly returned it. If there was something less than one star that would have been my choice for rating this item. Another American company bites the dust!
The description claims “bypass anvil pruner.” It is an anvil pruner, not a bypass.
The 18T is my favorite pruner. It aims easily so you can cut in areas where you can’t see well, as in thick brush, grapevines, or spring perennial cleanup. It’s handier than the bigger 19T, and has better leverage because your are closer to your work.
Unfortunately, it’s not the quality of the old 18T by SnapCut, before Gilmour bought it. But still hard to beat.
