The product, in the report: true living outdoors, Hedge Shear, “Prescision-Ground Blades”
I purchased a pair of “Hedge Shear” from Dollar General. The first time I went to use them on my rose bushes the handles bent together as you applied pressure to the handles. The handles close in on your thumbs. I had bruises on both thumbs. I was only trimming very small rose bushes. As I checked the handles, you could see the metal between the handle grips and the blade will bend with very little effort, which would be very dangerous if I had been using them on a branch of tree.
