I agree Arlene. At that price you can afford to have several sharp pair around and not worry about maintenance year after year. I think they are meant to be disposed of as cheap as they are and as cheaply made as they are, don't you? I am still getting a grip on this Disposable Society of ours. I've spent spend years and lots of money looking for a good pair of pruners that will last and can't find them? Then I think they are making them disposable, no?
