Hey everyone! I'm on a mission to find my wife a good pair of pruning shears. She's been using some old, rusty $10 ones that really hurt her hands. Can I find something significantly better within a $100 budget? I'd love to hear your recommendations! Thanks in advance!

Definitely go for the Felco pruners! They’re super durable, and mine have lasted nearly 30 years. They’re a bit pricier, but worth every penny for the quality you get.
Okatsune pruners are pretty great too! That said, I still use my old Fiskars because they’ve served me well. Just a heads up that she might do the same!
If your wife has smaller hands, the Felco #6 pruners are a great choice. They fit comfortably and are really efficient for smaller tasks!
I’ve got a pair similar to this model: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/gardening-tools/pruning-tools/71410. They’ve lasted ages, clean easily, and can be sharpened. You might even find something a bit fancier for your budget!
