I bought the Genus as a birthday present to my father, who’s a farmer in Israel. He spends lots of hours in the field or working in our yard, and usually uses a regular pruner, occasionally going to the car to grab a knife hand saw. The genus is the perfect tool for him – The pruner is strong, sharp and steady (It’s a Leatherman after all), the added tools are easily accessible on one hand and secured on the other, the included Sheath is perfect, comfortable and keeps the tool very secured. The Sharpening opening tool is comfortable, and serves it’s purpose well. The knife Saw are well built, long enough to use and easily handled even with wet hands gloves (the locking mechanism is big enough). My father uses the genus a lot, and since i gave it to him – his normal pruner is almost never used

Hands down one of the best tools I have ever purchased, and worth every penny! Yes it is costly but you MUST see the quality and durability of this American made product which I think is Made in Portland, OR if I am not mistaken. I am tired of having to buy a new set of pruners every year, and this is heavy like a Craftsman, or SNAP-ON product. Yes it is heavy compared to most, but personally thats a PLUS for me, means its made well! The Sheath is very sturdy and heavy grade poly fiber that would probably cost $30 at Lowes for a comparable product, and has a metal belt clip. This is perfect gift for a serious gerdener, or someone who just enjoy high quality tools and gardening. Im think about getting one for my father for his birthday. Happy gardening this fall and trimming those rose bushes back! Eastern,Virginia

Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

Had recently changed career’s from machanicing to the nursery industry after 27 years and decided to invest in a high quality set of pruner’s. Have had using and owning some of the best tool’s on the market like snap-on and other top of the line brand’s,I decided to look into the leatherman brand and located these little jewel’s. after giving them some time for use I can safely say that anyone else searching for a nice set of pruner’s should look into these. And for the weight issue with some other people, Come On! Give me a break!
