RYOBI rechargeable pruning shears BSH-120 import JPN

So my Wifey has some problems with her hands, but we’ve got lots of work to do in the garden and she loves it - so these seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately, even with the UK adapter to allow us to charge it, they didn’t work so well- and I think this is actually our fault. When you try to cut something that’s a bit too thick, you can force it, jump on it, kick it but eventually it’ll cut - and with long handled loppers or the extending ones, you can do exactly that. Unfortunately with these, you can’t. It’ll either cut or it doesn’t. Secretly, as well, by the time you’ve got through the manual and all the little warning stickers you do think that these are the most deadly gardening tool on earth and - disappointingly - they’re not.

A very good quality products (as one would expect from Ryobi) but let down by being a Japanese import (110 volts) and needing the additional expense of a voltage converter which drops it 2 stars. Otherwise, works well and is a boon to my wife with arthritic hands (light to use too)

I need electric pruners as I have osteoarthritis in my hands. My previous electric pruners were half the price but they stopped working after 2-3 months, as did the replacement pair. These are easy to use, recharge quickly and the charge lasts much longer than my old pair. I gave them 4stars because the blade broke after a month of almost daily use, maybe I was just unlucky, but a new blade is £24!

WOW - is this the most helpful tool in my arsenal. Yes! Carpal tunnel wrist and elbow surgery meant the hand was better but still difficult to do a lot of pruning and cutting without some numbness or pain. But this is a piece of cake to use. Cuts larger branches or larger sized objects by doing smaller cuts til you are done. Nice light on the front when you use it and has a protective blade cover. Yes, directions are not in English but it ain't rocket science - plug it in to charge and the light in the handle glows red. It glows green when it's fully charged. Every hour or so of use, plug it in and charge it. Well worth waiting for from overseas. No idea why Home Depot doesn't sell it in the US. My favorite yard tool ever! UPDATE- December 2016 - Broke my last blade and couldn't find a replacement blade for a Ryobi shear. I noticed the Teho Company sells a very similar (identical!) rechargeable shear (for less than $40). Anyway, I called them at the number below and ordered a replacement blade hoping it would work. It's identical! It was $5 plus S&H $15. I should have ordered 2 blades. The listed phone number for Teho customer service: 1-877-769-8346. I have no affiliation with any body mentioned here - just a consumer. Still love my shears!

this we have had ours for several years. This is a well made tool. Battery still holds charge allowing us to use it for at least an hour of steady pruning. Often doing larger diameter limbs that it was meant to cut. makes tedious pruning much easier and quicker. An excellent pruner and recommend it to all.

3年前に購入した。今でも日常的に小枝などの剪定に支障なく使っている。手入れなどは特にしないが、汚れた時だけ拭き取る程度だ。もし壊れた場合は同じ物を購入したい。

Light and easy to use. Gets into tight spaces. Battery life is reasonable. Not suitable for branches over 12 mm

HI-It is well made, nice size, well balance to hold. fast charging, nice to have a light on the front, like the protected coving on the blades, like the charging light that tells you when it is fully charge and the like on charging plug. The only thing that could make it better is a bigger battery to make it cut faster and easier. It last a long time depending on what you are cutting. I tried some of the products in the picture to cut and PCV took a few times to cut through,a bigger battery would make it faster. Over a great product will keep for cutting small tree branches, etc. If they come out with one with double or more battery power, at the same price I would buy it. Great product over all for the price. PS they need to send product info sheet in English.
