I am watching this thread. I lost my pruners this year, so I need some more. I have been set up with a great distributer and I will be adding items to our line-up as I can. Pruners/saws will be coming soon. I can't get all that have been mentioned but I can get some of them.

I did a lot of research on this subject and bought a pair of Florian ratchet pruners a few years ago. They are more expensive but worth every penny!

My shoulder bag has a small pouch on the back that I carry ratchet pruners and a small folding saw in. Carry a piece of duct tape in the pouch and you can cut a sapling and make a serviceable extension saw if you're working on a tree stand. I find I use both the saw and pruners equally and it's best to get high quality on both-they'll work quicker and quieter and be a sound investment for many years.

I've had some Gerber pruners for years, still in great shape. Have to clean pine sap off once in a while, but no biggie. If I forget my saw, I can also cut bigger stuff with the pruners by squeezing and turning the blades around the limb like a tubing cutter. I make a lot of brush blinds and these are a great little light weight tool.

EZ Cut for me. Mine have been in use for 10 years now. If the blade gets bad I send them back and get a free replacement.
