This looks identical to the ACE ratchet pruner that is available for $11.99. Is it in fact the same tool?

Not sure if its the same. But I love this pruner. The blade is very sharp and I find it very easy to cut branches. I have very small hands but still find it easy to use. The support is also very helpful. I have emailed them through their website and they were quick to help.

I do not know for sure. The web image of "Ace® 8in Ratchet Pruning Shears Item no: 7262058 | 082901254355 $13.99" appears to be the same with a red plastic handle.

I don't know. Sometimes that look the same are very deceiving. I like these prunners for the money and so far they haven't failed.

Today I checked at my local ACE Hardware store to compare them. They are not the same. Though similar these are in my opinion a much better quality tool than the one at Ace. The all metal pruner is super easy and efficient and comfortable to use. Well worth the price. Good Luck

Well, it certainly looks the same. Since I've never handled the ACE one, it's a bit hard for me to say. This one is very heavy and sturdy, and it works fine, though I was equally happy with a less expensive one I ordered some years ago that was starting to wear out due to heavy use. I was annoyed at the price of this when I bought it, but decided that I'd give it a try hoping for top quality. I think it might have been a bit cheaper at that point, too, but I'm very pleased with it. In any event, good luck.

Unsure if the same, but to the person who thought these weren't sharp, I have cut large suckers up to 1/2 in diameter with them, and am certain I could amputate my own finger in one simple motion with these. They are easy to use and make quick work of pruning.

I do not know if this is the same tool as the Ace one, but this ratchet pruner is absolutely worth every penny. We have used it on bamboo and it just cuts right through it.

They look like the same machine. Make sure your drive belt is tight before you use this. I chewed up a belt, bought a replacement, then a year later chewed up another one. I'm hard on my sander, I use it almost every day.

Not sure of the motivation on that. That is the specific tool I got. My motivation for getting that tool is the ratcheting wrench. The other model has a non ratcheting wrench. It is easy to find the regular wrench but a little tougher to get a hold of the ratcheting wrench. I have VERY pleased with the purchase. Hope it works well for you too!

Actually the one listed has a smiths matt, that shows the detailed breakdown of an AR, set of punches, and some sort of aerosol of cleaner or maybe lube.As to the difference between the actual tool I couldn't tell a difference

Using the right blade for its intended purpose will prolong blade life. There are universal adapters available from several competitors as well as universal fitting blades. Cost is not necessary a guide to quality. You will find quality of these vary from excellent to less than average based on effectiveness to what they were designed to do and longevity. Remember that this tool was designed for specific uses that other tools did poorly. It is not a replacement for a circular saw, jig saw or a sawzall. However as a plunge cutter for trimming or limited access areas, tile repair, limited scraping or grinding, opening access in a wall,detail and profile sanding, cutting of pipe for repairs and more uses than I can note here it is has been an irreplaceable tool to me having owned the original and this newer model for over twenty years. It had paid for itself many times over doing tasks that otherwise would be difficult or impossible making it extremely cost effective. I also buy blades in multi packs which saves a lot of money. Disregard any TV info-commercials that gives you the impression that this is the only tool you need for remodeling. However, I don't go to a job without it and recommend it for serious DIYers that I work with.

Original is an ambiguous term. I know companies like Home Depot will pay a fee, to Dewalt, to build a lot, or run, of tools, with different internal parts. These tools will look the same but have a different model number. If the model number is the same the till is the same. As for this tool, which I purchased through Amazon, it has worked splendidly. I've been cutting flagstone, with a diamond blade, for a very large patio. I love it. What a great value!

More than likely the eBay one is a knockoff, I say that because it does not come with a battery, the packaging looks the same as the one I received from amazon, but mine came WITH a battery (that was dead and causing the tool to function erratically.

LMAO . . . I wonder how someone snuck that in. They are great ratcheting pruners . . . I love mine.

The crimping tool is a "basic" tool. It does not have the ratchet capability that a professional tool would have. The handle is spring loaded and stays in the open position and closes with a smooth rather than ratchet lock. It's basic and works just fine but you do have to be careful since the spring open aspect of the handles can pinch you pretty good. If you need a tool that you'll be using frequently, day in and day out then this is not the tool you want. It is fine for repairing a connector here and there but I wouldn't recommend it for heavy usage. Dick B

Connie c thanks for the update and product feedback. This kit is about the same price as just the groom tool so know that I know it is the same tool I will take a chance and order it!

I get a purple ratchet pruner by Florian and it has a steel blade. I have 2 other Florian ratchet pruners and have been very satisfied with them.

Hi, I thought there was only the one made, I have searched to see if any others and I can't locate another model. The one the was shipped to me is authentic and a great tool and very versatile for its compact size. Haven't spent enough time with it to see its durability, but if it's like all the other gerber gear I have, I'm sure it will take a beating. Thank out for your question, if anything I can do, feel free. Regards, ken

Not sure if it is exactly the same but I know it works well on my saw. I purchased two of them and they fit perfectly on my saw.

I don't know but I ordered the same one that was recommended by Amazon so I guess I will be screwed also. Maybe Amazon is just trying to get rid of what they have. Haven't unpacked the saw yet.

If your pruner uses a 10" chain it should fit. These are all generic replacements

I read somewhere that this one was the same but a newer version, it also has the needle felting attachment. I wasn't interested in that but the price was better. I notice the price has gone up since I purchased mine.

Hello! R. Miller. Just looked at the 6 or 7 Felco Pruners and Swiss Made is stamped on each one. I have a Felco 310 Snipper that is still in the package (for a gift) and the printed info says "FELCO, the world-leading manufacturer of professional pruning shears and cable cutters since 1945." I've been a gardener all my life and used several good brands of pruners but I've strictly used Felco since the '60's as they make gardening easier and I know they are the best. For further info: http//www.felco.ch Happy Gardening! J.R.
