The Highly Rated Harbor Freight Tool Gardeners Should Know About

It's a rare thing to find a reliable, well-made tool that is also affordable. And no matter your occupation or hobby, once you've found that unicorn of a tool, it makes sense that you would want to let other people know about it. That's why, when we saw that the Doyle 7-1/2 inch Micro-Tip Pruning Shears at Harbor Freight had a majority of 5-star reviews, we had to find out what made people want to talk about this tool. After all, the majority of consumers leave bad reviews when they've had less than great experiences — but not many of us are moved to leave great reviews.

These days, many of us buy items through Amazon simply because it's easier, and you don't have to get out of your jammies. But when a good deal comes along, that's also highly rated, it can have you making that trip into the store without a second thought. While we might still be wondering who has the better deals on tools, Amazon or Harbor Freight, the reviews on the Doyle Micro-Tip Pruning Shears say it's a steal at only $12.99. This shouldn't come as a surprise to regular Harbor Freight shoppers, considering how many of their tools under $50 are touted as "worth buying." In many of the reviews for this tool, customers repeatedly stated how great a price they were for the quality. This could mean these pruning shears are about to be added to that list by many a gardener this year.

If you're a gardener, you most likely have a set of preferred tools you use. For turning soil, some use a broad fork, while others use a pitchfork. When it comes to tools to tackle stubborn weeds, some use a Hori Hori while others use a simple weed puller. But no matter the preferred tool, once a gardener finds the one they like, they usually stick with it. That's why the comments on the Doyle Micro-Tip Pruning Shears being the perfect small size pruner hold so much weight. One reviewer said, "Use these daily in the garden to harvest vegetables and flowers. They fit in tight places and make harvesting much easier!" Another commented on the shears' durability, "Very solid, high quality. Much better than the cheapo ones from Amazon. The locking mechanism is great and doesn't move while using."

It's clear from the reviews on the Harbor Freight website that many customers found these shears to be high-quality, easy-to-use, sturdy, well-designed, and affordable. Many customers found them perfect to use indoors on their houseplants as well. At $12.99, the quality seems to hold up against the competition, and many gardeners might find these worth the buy. One customer summed up their experience best, "I use these in the veggie garden. They are comfortable and easy to use and cut through stuff like butter. One-inch sunflower stalks? Not a problem. I would definitely recommend these."
