The Gardener's Friend ratchet pruners have been recognized by NBC News Select as the top choice for efficient gardening with reduced hand strain.
-- NBC News Select has named The Gardener's Friend ratchet pruners the best in their category, recognizing their ability to reduce hand strain through a user-friendly, ergonomic design. The feature emphasized the pruners' appeal to gardeners with conditions such as arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or limited grip strength.

Research highlights that ratcheting mechanisms, unlike traditional shears, allow cuts to be made in incremental stages. This staged cutting motion reduces joint and muscle strain, enabling users to prune thicker branches—up to one inch in diameter—without exerting significant force.
The Gardener's Friend pruners feature a lightweight aluminum frame, a detachable oiled sponge grip, and a three-step ratcheting system designed for ease and precision. NBC's review commended these elements, while the brand notes that the mechanism reduces resistance and cutting effort—particularly beneficial for users with smaller hands or limited mobility.
By prioritizing both comfort and accessibility, the tool enables extended pruning sessions without fatigue. The Gardener's Friend meets the rising demand for adaptive equipment that allows individuals with physical limitations to continue engaging in everyday activities such as gardening.
NBC's endorsement reinforces a broader shift toward inclusive design in consumer tools. Products like these serve not only functional needs but also support autonomy and well-being, especially for older adults and those with disabilities who want to maintain their independence and hobbies.
The Gardener's Friend is a gardening tool brand founded by Paul and Nancy Grimm, who developed their first ratchet pruners after experiencing personal hand mobility issues.
A customer shared: "Just got these. Spent all day pruning a long hedge in the front yard. My hand is not tired at all. The bushes had both small and larger branches that needed trimming and these handled it all. Love the little included oiling pads."
