These are the best pruners I've ever used. The rotating outer handle is actually very ergonomic and comfortable. I used to get aches in my wrist from pruning with the "anvil" style pruners until these. I read a good review about them in Mother Earth News a few years ago and it convinced me to spend a little extra money on the really good pruners and they're the only ones I'll ever use from now on.
