Superb quality and workmanship! Customer service is extraordinary. Lost the spring after a yara and a half of use. Contacted manufacturer, who sent me a new pair of shears and a replacement spring. Really impressive customer service.
I love this pruner, it’s a bit pricey but worth every dollar. It’s lighter than the steel professional ones and the blade stays sharp. It also comes with an extra tension spring that you never get with any other pruner you buy on the market.
Been looking for this quality pruner for a long time.
Excellent value. This is an amazing tool. The quality is evident from the moment you open the package. The mechanism is smooth, and with a razor sharp (that hold an edge) blade the cut is smooth and clean. Don’t have the bite and stop problems that less expensive clippers have. I also bought a pair of Gonicc (?) clippers for roughly the same price, and by comparison they were cheap looking and squeaked to a halt mid-cut. I will definitely get another pair if needed, and will probably get several more for gifts.
These tools are fine and do the job. They handled deadheading also tough vines. They feel good in the hand. I had wondered about bare metal being cold but have not been a problem. I will definitely buy more from them.
I was struggling with various secateurs that I bought over the years and never really thought about the quality. Then someone menioned Japanese garden tools and I started looking around. This is the first thing I have ordered from my search: sharp, quality metal and construction. Seem to work quicky and easily. I noticed the some of the other reviews mentioned that the spring comes undone. I was provided with an extra spring, which tells me the company pays attention, always a good sig
After over a year and a half of hard use the spring that held the two blades of my pruning shears sprung off and got lost in the garden. A couple of days ago I decided to get a new pair and discovered that they had a life time warranty. A day after sending an email expelling what happened and requesting a replacement spring the company responded that they would send me a new set of shears. Amazing customer service. Highly recommend the shears and the company!!!!
Bolt/nut adjustment for accurate cut. Can also take apart to sharpen blade (rarely). Highly recommended, in fact, just bought another just to have around.
These are nice clippers. I haven’t had a chance to use them too much, but they seem well worth the money. That said, the ARS VS-8 seems to be better built and probably worth the difference. The ARS have aluminum frames. The Tonma clippers probably aluminum too, but they have a speckled finish that covers the metal. The blades of the ARS clippers are held with a nut/bolt while the Tonma has a bolt into a threaded frame. I really like the “squeeze to release” lock on the ARS, the Tonma has a sliding lock that works fine, just not as cool as the ARS. The Tonma clippers have a telescoping spring (like Felco), the ARS have a coil spring. Don’t know that one is better than the other, but Felco is pretty much the standard for commercial clippers. In terms of cutting, the Tonma clippers are sharp and make a clean cut. Don’t know how long they last before they need sharpening. In summary, the Tonma’s are nice clippers, but with Felco F2’s on sale for $48.56 I think I probably should have bought them instead.
It says made in Japan but doesn’t look or feel like it. The spring loses easily
Great pair of secateurs that cut through the garden bushes like a knife through butter. Very sharp and strong blade unlike cheaper pairs I’ve had which have either chipped or deformed cutting harder wood.
Very sharp blade with no blade distortion with larger branch diameter (3/4″). Good hand feel.
These shears were received promptly. They are very well made and work nicely. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend.
pruning dead hard black berry bush stalks up to 3/8 inch in diameter.
Excellent value. Treat yourself. For a few extra dollars, you get a much better product that will last for years. Get them sharpened every now and again. Clean and dry them and they’re good to go!
The shears are sharp easy to use and will cut through some pretty thick branches!
Very well built!
Fantastic tool, feels good in the hand, smooth action, cuts are clean and perfect.
Have nothing negative to say at all.
If you are looking for long-lasting products with precision cut performance in this field, this is the product you need.
My gardner liked mine so much he wanted me to order one for him. He complained that Home Depot was expensive and not good quality.
They are as described and as good as other 5 star reviewers say.
The quality of this tool is excellent. There is so much junk made in china because they copy all legitimate brands to put excellent companies out of business It has all become a race to the bottom for quality. I was so tired of wasting money I found “Cultivate”, a Mark Cuban development, that tells me where products were really made. It is a Chrome extension or an IOS App. In fact Cultivate is the only reason I ever use Chrome as a browser. It immediately identified the country of origin for this product as Japan. That alone made me want to buy it. It should last for many decades, with far better quality then any I have ever used or seen before. Buy it.
This is the finest pruning shear I’ve ever owned! Sharp, comfortable grip, and easy to use. I am amazed at the great quality!
Excellent secateurs for garden pruning. I use these for my fine pruning and grafting. I use my other pruners for landscape pruning , although you could use these for all your pruning needs . They arrived razor sharp . The blade is removable for sharpening. Heavy duty release button .8 inches large with looks like a grey enamel finish on the handles. The grip is comfortable and ergonomic. They came with a extra spring, I followed another reviewers advice and epoxied the spring in place at the bottom. Have not lost the spring yet. You should buy your pruners from Tonma fulfilled by Amazon so you are sure to get genuine secateurs made in Japan. Seller Tonma is responsive to your inquiries, mine was answered within 24 hours.
Very high quality. I’ve used this a lot already, and you could still shave with these.
Wonderful sharp and well designed Smooth function Best tool I’ve purchased in years
I’d always bought fairly cheap shears and knew I wanted better ones. But I didn’t want to spend too much. These are perfect and I use them all the time. Very sharp and handy!
These are one of the best pruners I have purchased. Quality pruners
We saw some YouTube videos where these specifically were recommended so we tried one. These are worth the money and deserve the reviews and referrals! Best hand-held gardening shears we have or have ever had. Does everything you’d expect shears to do (comfortable, locking, etc.). And more! They are very sharp and the cutting action is smooth. If you need good shears, these will be hard to beat.
I’ve had a lot of pruners in my garden area and these are by far one of the best ones I’ve ever had. They are well made, sturdy, very sharp and cuts like a razor through butter.
I like that it can be adjusted and easily sharpened.
I would be nice to have a few just in case I misplaced or loose it like I do with the others.
Best clippers yet. Cuts through branches that none of my other have. Can deadhead delicate flowers. Love them
I am a fan of both Felco and Corona gardening tools. Both are high quality, Felco being better IMO.
These shears are every bit as good as similar Felco shears, but at a much better price. Japanese steel is strong and stays sharp. These are clean cuts and smooth. I really enjoy their ergonomics and they ease and security of the latching mechanism. Flawless. I’m buying 2 more as gifts for my gardening adult children.
So yeah, I recommend them. 😉
I really enjoying using these in my garden, Very good quality product, Honestly don’t have much to complain about. The item that I got works perfect, sharp and sturdy. Would recommend to anyone looking for good quality Shears.
I finally decided to throw away my old junky tools and replace them with quality. These are beautifully crafted and sharp, a real pleasure to use!
Super sharp and very well made. These are my first true “pro quality” shears. I have Fiskars and some nice “pro” stainless, and Corona BP7200. None stack up to these, especially at the price. Never tried a Felco, but I’d find it hard to believe they would be superior to these and at half the price.
Love the SK5 steel. Makes me feel like Doug Marcaida when I use these. I keep saying “it will cut!” In my head when using.
The silver is slightly larger than the red/black handle and has a different spring. They are very comfortable and I have med-large hands.
These are big shears! I am small but can easily handle most shears–so I didn’t pay attention to the size description. I can handle these and like them so much that I am also ordering the smaller size for work in smaller spaces.
Completely satisfied with this shear. Super sharp and cuts through branches without damaging it.
I have severe osteoarthritis in my hands and have had a few surgeries on them. I am still compelled to work in and enjoy my garden.
I’ve learned as I developed this hand crippling condition that good tools can help level the playing field. Especially now when hand strength and dexterity is simply not an option.
This tool is one of those. What makes it especially useful is that I can afford to buy it. Since crippled hands have devastated my earning capacity. Thank you very much for an excellent and affordable tool.
Most precise pair I’ve ever used. Easy to clean And ergonomic
Really nice quality, well made pruning shears. I have only been pruning roses, grape vines and shrubs, so not used on really thick wood yet. They are easy to hold and take very little pressure to cut the thicker vines. I feel these will be used a lot for hopefully a lot of years.
Great product, it’s much better than some two times more expensive. Perfect cut and locking. Don’t wonder but buy that one!!!
Love these scissors. They were able to cut through my palm tree leaves and stems. Handle is comfortable and very easy to use.
Item had been slightly damaged during transit and after contacting Tonma they shipped me a replacement immediately. Shears are excellent quality and work grea
It’s basically magical how sharp and wonderful it is to use something this well made.
These are really high quality. I was surprised by the price but I love them and use them all the time. They cut smoothly and easily
I’ve had other shears that lock up while cutting and were so annoying. Unlock easily.
Smooth surface helps to keep it clean. Once the release button that opens the scissors is adjusted to the center, it is ready to quick release and operation. Seems rust-proof, which is necessary to keep end of grafting cutting more hygienic. Cuts precisely how you wanted without causing much cracking or damage to scion shaft. Very ergonomic, fits contour of ones palm more naturally, so that there is no need for fingers maneuver uncomfortably during cutting process. Overall pretty comfortable. You should not be dissatisfied with the results.
These shears live up to their reputation – they are sharp and easy on the hand cutting even the larger branches. I’ll be throwing away several older, lesser quality shears now.
I use them to clip a branch up to 7/16 of an inch but I wouldn’t recommend it for any size higher than that.
These feel and look very well made. I pruned a lemon tree with them and they cut the branches cleanly, without crushing them. The value for these pruners is phenomenal as well. I bought these pruners as an alternative to the big name brand and am very happy I did.
Excellent pruning tool.Sturdily made and of a high quality and standard.Recommended.
Another quality Japanese tool, Very nicely made, worth the money.
I have owned a lot of decent pruning shears but this one blows them all away! sharpest pair I ever owned. comfortable and ergonomic. cuts thru 3/4″ branches like a lopper would.
I have been trying to find good quality pruning shears for a while and tried products from several very popular bands but I have been very disappointed in the build quality and usability of their shears. I tried these lesser known Tonma shears because they were made in Japan and seemed high quality. Using them in the garden today, I am very impressed! Very attractive in appearance, they fit well in my hand (a medium male hand), and are very sharp. I had no difficulty in cutting either small or moderate sized branches.
Received the pruning shears today, and I am impressed with how beautiful, balanced and precise these shears are, for the price. Very impressed.
We struggled with a decades old pruner at home, and finally decided to look for alternatives. I’m sure the high $$ pruners do a great job, but at too high a price. Very pleased with the TONMA pruner, and the price was right.
Using it to prune my backyard grape vines. Works absolutely nicely! Much better than the previous one from the local Home Depot which broke in 2 after one season…
This purning shears is fantastic. Excellent product and very good quality. Easy to handle and very sharp. Comfortable for the hands. I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for one. This shears is made in Japan. I have no complaints.
good sturdy secateurs – high quality and excellent value for money – very pleased with this purchase
I work in my yard quite a bit and these are the best I’ve bought in a long time. The sharpness is there and they’re very well mademuch better than my Fiskars that only lasted one season before needing to be sharpened again! I like the silver too!
I bought these to replace a pair that I lost in the yard somewhere. They are very sharp and easy to use and so far have cut everything I asked them to.
I think the quality of these secateurs is superb and they are extremely sharp. I have only given 4 stars for easy to use because I find the lock mechanism a bit of a fiddle but otherwise excellent.
Thoughtful design. No grip on handle to wear out, I like the feel in my hand. Came with a spare spring, thoughtful as this is the most likely piece to wear out on pruning shears. So far so good.
I’ve been using the 8″ pruning shears for 4 months now. They are excellent, razor sharp and they hold their edge. They’re also very ergonomic, comfortable to use for hours at a time. I like them more than the other “big” name brands. A crack developed on one of the handles, I contacted Tonma through the Amazon message service on the Tonma store site; they got back to me the next day to inform me they indeed had a lifetime warranty as stated in the product description and they would be sending out a new pair of shears with no need to send the original ones back. I received the replacement shears two days later! Customer service really doesn’t get better than this. Tonma is an excellent company and stand behind their product.
No problem with the spring. The latch, that holds the clippers closed, works well. They feel good in the hand and cut nicely.
I’ve always had name brand pruners most of my gardening years (Bahco, Felco, etc) but this one is by far the most well designed pair I’ve used in recent memory. I volunteer in an Arboretum and am usually tasked with pruning chores. Although I’ve seldom had an issue with my secateurs, these are now my go to pair. Came sharpened and ready to work.
These pruning shears are incredible. The cutting action is smooth, precise, and very clean. I used them to trim 2 inch thick branches on the bushes and they were awesome. There was no fatigue from using them at all. I was so impressed with these pruning shears that I ordered two more for some friends.
I recommend this it is well made and easy to use
Came incredibly sharp, they handle ” branches easily with a bit of persuasion. The steel is holding up nicely, I’ve not had to sharpen them after a few weeks decent use.
A long session will see them sticking from accumulated sap, but a quick rinse sees them performing nicely again.
A good value purchase.
I ended up buying two pairs of these. First set was initially for my mother, who has weak hands. She found these very easy to use and appreciated the very precise cuts that could be made. These are of all metal construction, look likely to last a lifetime, which is remarkable for the price. They are marked Made in Japan, and come with a spare spring.
Brilliant really sharp and excellent quality. Good value. Need to be kept oiled otherwise will go rusty. Made from good quality carbon steel
I was really impressed with these pruning shears. I usually use Felco 12 but I wanted a backup pair of shears and these fit the bill. Very clean cuts and comfortable.
What a joy to use and is the old adage, you pay for what you get.
Hefty, sturdy, handsome, sharp and easy to use. Happy with the purchase.
These are well executed and cut superb. The only issue that will arise sooner or later, is that you will lose the spring in the heat of battle. An extra spring is provided, but so what, you will eventually lose that too. I lost the spring on mine the first day when tossing them into my garden cart and they hit the side and fell to the ground. I simply put a dab of 5 minute epoxy on both ends of the spring and reinserted it. Problem was solved!. I can’t believe this wasn’t done at the factory. Otherwise a nice working (and looking) tool from Japan.
Sharp enough to cut hair. Like the sliding lock instead of cheap metal loop on others. Cuts like butter on most branches within the specified range.
Only quip is the lack of a carrying case. I would have paid extra for one from the company but no option on Amazon.
It seemed that this gardening scissors/shear will last longer. Looks heavy duty. I haven’t tried it, but I think it will work well.
I didn’t get to use them. My wife tells me they are fantastic! Only thing I will caution folks, the blades are extremely sharp. Feel like a very well made tool.

Actually, great value for any price! Since it is so easy to lose pruning shears, I am thinking of buying two more sets rather than pay triple for one supposedly really good quality one.
ecently joined Costco and the have great deals on flowers. bought a couple bunches and it was a nightmare to prune with scissors. with this tool it felt like cutting butter. 10/10 would give as gif
It is as advertised : seems to be made of good steel, fit and finish is very good , is worth the price. It is a little hard to hold due to smooth covering on handles but my hands are on the smaller side. They work very nicely !
Sharp blades, smooth movement, very comfortable to hold and use and they look great too! I’m a professional horticulturist and these pruners are always in my holster.
hese are some of the best I have owned, very sharp and quite light to hold
Nice, sharp, and solid. Yet that doesn’t matter when the spring shot off somewhere I couldn’t locate on second use and now I’m down 2 pairs of pruners in 2 weeks. More wasted money. Should of used a better part for your spring force. Another shot in the behind
The best Pruning shears I have come across in a long time, great value for the price too.
Very easy to use. Sharp and sturdy in the hand. Has given my gardening confidence a huge boost!!!
It’s a great tool for gardening but the spring get loose easy. I bought two because I loved the concept and maneuverability of it.
If the seller read my message, please let me know from where I can buy another spring, I lost them both. I give 4 start because of spring but the pruning shears is well made.
Thank you.
It cut straight through hardened 1 inch thick boxwood wood. Amazing. Such a quality tool. I think it will last me a lifetime.
Brilliant, top quality product, very pleased, this is the best pair of secateurs I have ever owned!! Being a very keen gardener, they will be serving me for years to come!’
I love these shears and want to use them for everything. Although they are made for flora, stems, etc, I open the blade and use it for many other things, like opening up the tape on cardboard packages and boxes.
I ordered the product to trim trees and shrubs. It arrived in 3 days. It fits my hand perfect. It’s light weight aluminum handles and stainless steel blade are cool looking. The blade is super sharp and cuts fast and clean. Came with an extra spring too.
It is such a well designed and made piece of pruner using high grade cutting steel on top of that. As you expect for new, the blade (about 1/8″ thick) is sharp, makes an easy, smooth clean cut. As the blade and opposing steel are not stainless, user must maintain it accordingly to prevent rust. The handle has nice bump and operates smoothly with no play. It appears aluminum handles are bead blasted and look metallic and has a clear vinyl coating on entire aluminum handles which is superior to typical partial coating on most other pruners as this vinyl coating is usually the first to go. Nice touch !. Locking mechanism is easy one hand operation. If there is any short coming, it is that the opposing steel thickness should be more like 5/16″ to prevent crushing the bark (more contact area) when cutting hardwood of large diameter branches. Nevertheless, it should serve most applications perfectly for many years. High quality piece. Highly recommended.
These arrived in a nice heavy duty cotton bag with a booklet. They feel good and they look good and have a spare spring in the package. They have all the right Japanese credentials in the booklet, but, to be honest, they are for a Christmas present so I haven’t tried them out. I can say I would have picked these out in a shop for looks, weight and feel.
I really like these secateurs. They are strong and quite sharp. They are slightly on the larger side and open a little wider than others but are comfortable to use. I like the colour too. They feel sturdy to use, rugged but precise. However the spring came out once as it’s just held in by opposing force. I popped it back in and will just hope it doesn’t happen again. Still going strong. Best kept clean and oiled (rapeseed).
The only thing I don’t like is the counter-blade tip extends slightly further than the sharp blade tip. This is a little less than ideal when cutting Ivy against a fence for example and I want the tips to cut flush with the surface. (One star off for that otherwise would be five). Other than that I’m happy with my purchase and would buy another.
These are good quality for the price. I would recommend them.
For the money, these seem like excellent, sharp, well made pruning shears that look like they should last a long time with proper care. The only possible issue I see is the locking mechanism, which seems to come unlocked too easily and might possibly pose a danger if not handled carefully.
I deducted one star because, as pictured, the product card is printed “MADE IN JAPAN”, but the barcode sticker right above this clearly says “MADE IN CHINA”. Very confusing… perhaps Tonma can clarify???
