What's your favorite quality hand pruner?

I'm cutting a few thousand cuttings to clone and need a good hand pruner.

I have a pair of these
https://www.stihlusa.com/products/g...0/?aqid=a38dadf0dab13865af90b1dc830af5fa
they are decent

and a pair of these
https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/302805-fiskars-powergear-2-bypass-pruner.html
they are more ergonomic but bulkier and I with my big hands and strong grip strength can make them flex if I try and go too big on the branch.

I like them both , I don't spend 8 hours a day pruining , if I did I might go better yet

but an hour here hour there these work

if I was sitting stationary cutting thousands I might opt for the power option stihl , or the milwakee option

I bought a French made Bahco for pruning roses. Highly rated by the rose folks, it's a bypass pruner. It works fine and is comfortable to use, I only ever had cheap anvil pruners before...I have no other experience with pruners but I believe Fiskars makes one and their products are always good. Maybe see what the commercial grape guys use, they do a lot of pruning.

For a hand held pruning shears, Felco #2.

For loppers, Fiskars.

For hand saw (pruning and trimming) Silky Big Boy (red handle).

For bigger limbs, Stihl chainsaw.

Felco is what is in my hunting backpack, to trim for blinds, shooting windows.

Thanks everyone. I'll go with Felco or Fiskars. I think they will be worth the money. I do wish the pruners were a little cheaper though.
