It is weird, but I have a 25 years old pruner which cost me only $10 at the time. Since then, I have been given as gifts some expensive ones (about $50) but none survived after being used a few times.
But isn't that weird to you the way that no name pruner lasts longer than the brand (& more expensive) ones?
Do you have any favorite tool which you are a bit worried that you wouldn't be able to replace it easily? (My current laptop is another one

When I read that you had a 25 year old pruner I thought you'd hired some young man to prune things for you. (I am thinking he might cost more than $10, though. 
) I am sure he'd have a name, even if you didn't call him anything except "honey" or "handsome".

@YrNemo A lot of the time non-branded tools last better than name-brand ones. The non-branded ones are trying to get and keep your business where the branded ones don't think they need to. They believe people will keep buying them on the basis of their brand alone.

@DaddyEvil Didn't think of that, but you are completely right there.

That is the way it usually works with some things.
Glad that the rpruner works for you still.

I do not have any garden tools due to no garden.
My little chromebook I could not easily replace.

@RebeccasFarm That is the attraction, the price . (How long have you had that one?)

Most of my gardening tools are older. I have also used a pruner like you have pictured to trim the goat hooves. It did as good of a job as the actual hoof nippers I bought later

Oh yeah, I have gotten a lot of use out of this laptop. It is the best one I have ever had.

My current one is secondhand from the store (as in, someone bought it and returned due to some problem) so I had it marked down in price by almost 50%, yet it has been serving me well for the last 7 yrs (knock on wood).

Sometimes those no-name brands will last compared to the branded ones. I have this desk fan that I bought back in 2012. It lasted until 2019.
