I'll look into that next time.
Instead, I bought a cheap non-ratchet hand pruner. It should stand up to more use before failing and it costs less.
The boundary in limb strength, at which I can't use the hand pruner and must instead shift to full size two hand pruner, obviously is lower because of this choice. A ratchet pruner can be pumped a few times to cut any branch that fits into it at all, while a simpler pruner easily fits around branches that either it can't cut at all or require so much turning while cutting that it isn't worth it.
