The blade is very sharp so it bites nearly every time. It might not bite immediately if you're trying to cut something with a very hard surface, such as some of the old bamboo I've cut with them ... but in this case just use your other hand to hold the blade and anvil tight against the stalk or branch as you squeeze and release the handles once or twice. Then the blade will bite and you can continue ratcheting through the cut with one hand.The only other issue I've had with these pruners is that sometimes the plastic locking mechanism slides into the lock position when you don't expect it to. This hasn't happened much, and if it ever becomes a real problem rather than an occasional annoyance I would just wrap a rubber band around the slide lock to keep it open while using the tool.Obviously the two issues I mentioned above are so minor that they have not influenced my decision to give these pruners a 5-start rating. The fact is, they have cut through every soft and hard woody material I've been able to fit into them, they feel good in my hands, and the red rubber grips keep them in my hands without slipping around, even when I'm wearing cloth/cotton gloves which are notorious for their lack of grip.For maintenance when I'm done using them I simply wipe them off and apply some spray oil to the moving parts and blade. If they get exceptionally dirty or sticky I scrub them with an old toothbrush and dish detergent, rinse in hot water and dry them, then apply the oil.I have every indication that these pruners will last for years. They are well built of strong metal and I would absolutely buy them again. Having said this, my next hand pruner purchase might be the Clauss 20133 8-Inch Heavy-Duty Ratchet-Action Pruner because I think they may be another excellent tool. I had a hard time deciding between the Barnel and Claus pruners when I bought the Barnel's, so I wouldn't mind comparing them if I ever need another pair. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adequate But Not Special *by M***S on July 25, 2015* I'm a 73 year old woman recovering from two carpel tunnel surgeries. So I wanted a ratcheted pair of clippers as I was clearing about a sixth of a mile of fence line so we could set up an electric fence on the refuge where I'm volunteering. The clippers do an adequate job of cutting small branches but the fastener that closes them is a bear for people with weak hands to use. I had to get out another tool to open or close the clippers. And sometimes, the close doesn't hold and I find the clippers back open. I have only had them for about a month so don't know how well they will hold up. They do feel well-made. I have had lighter clippers that cut larger stems so I took off one star for that and one star for the frustration I have in opening or closing them.Dec, 30, 2016I'm revisiting this after owning them for over almost two years. I just spent several cutting back privat and vines with my non dominate hand since I'm not allowed to use my right hand. They are getting easier to open and close and were easy to use, even though The joint at the base of my thumb is severely arthritic. I gave them another star. ### ⭐⭐⭐ won't stay closed *by A***C on May 6, 2013* I have a Florian ratchet pruner which has worked well for years. I recently misplaced it and ordered the Barnel ratchet pruner to replace it as the price was quite a bit lower and the reviews were good. This pruner works well - better at cutting thicker branches than my non-ratcheting pruners - and has very sharp blades. The reason I'm giving it only three stars is that the mechanism for keeping the blades closed when not in use is awkward to use and, more important, doesn't work. Other reviewers have mentioned this and it seems to me the manufacturer should do something about it. It bothers me to leave them with the blades wide open in the drawer. If these get lost I will spend more to replace them with the Florian ratchet pruner which stays closed easily and works just as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3797165-barnel-b888-8-inch-aluminum-straight-blade-bypass-garden-ratchet](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3797165-barnel-b888-8-inch-aluminum-straight-blade-bypass-garden-ratchet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
