Corona Snippers at Home Depot

5 years ago

Hi fellow rose pruners, are these Corona snippers useful for rose pruning? They're on sale today and I'm on the fence about ordering. If you're interested they are item number AG 4930SS on the Home Depot website. They are 5 for $15 today on sale. I usually use bypass pruners, do these do something that bypass pruners can't do? Thanks, Matt

    Thanks both of you, I ordered them!

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks for the tip, Matt! I find them very useful for detail work on roses, cut flowers and snipping herbs. I grabbed 5 of them too, they would make a great gift for a few gardening friends.

    I just ordered some too. Thanks very much for the heads up!

    I have no idea that I need these but $3/each is too good a deal to pass, lol. I ordered 5, too. Thanks for the tip, Matt. Helen

    Thanks Matt! I’ve used them before for deadheading and they were decent but I seem to lose snips all the time and so I‘m sure I will be able to use all 5.

    Thanks for the shopping news! I bought 10! :-)

  • 5 years ago

    $15 for 5 is such a good deal! Thanks for sharing with us.👍

    Bought 5 more, just in case if I have friends over pick grapes in the fall. Thanks again!

    I just bought 5 too. What a deal!

    This item is currently out of stock. How can HD make money with free shipping? 5 in a package won’t be light.

  • 5 years ago

    I don't know, Summers. Maybe it was a mistake. We had to order them before all the hoarders got them.

  • 5 years ago

    Lol, I might be the last one who was hugging the deal at 11:57pm. The sale on this item could be a mistake, HD won't make any profit after shipping cost. I have one more small orchard added to my care. This new (old) place has hundreds of grape vines all over the place, I am not sure if I'd have any grapes though, vines are old, maybe over 100 years old like this place. This sale could be a sign of getting ready for helpers. But If it's not, I am one of the hoarders to buy 15 snippers. Lol

    Our grape wood is so hard I needed bigger pruners for the wood. All the trimming needed, these would be perfect.

    Sheila, I bought a battery operated saw for grape wood and small trees. Do you think I need to cut grape wood down to 2’-3’ this year? Will I have grapes this year if I cut them cut too much? No one had done anything to the land for at least 18 years per next door neighbors. Here are a couple photos of grape vines.

    Used them yesterday to groom my small bed of Vinca major. These pruners are great for deadheading and other tasks involving accurate snipping of thin stems.

  • 5 years ago

    My best little deadheading clippers came from the Dollar Store. I know, crazy. I have had one pair for 4 years and they are still sharp . I grab a couple of pairs each year and I dont know why because the original pair still work. But they are perfect for deadheading


  • 5 years ago

    Summers, you could cut them to 3 ft and still get grapes.

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks Sheila! :-)

  • 5 years ago

    Did anyone receive the snips? The estimate pick up date is today but my order still shows being processed.

    last modified: 5 years ago

    No, not yet. Calling HD right now. Just found out they are on back order.

  • 5 years ago

    I got a delay notice email too from Home Depot.

  • 5 years ago

    I received delay notice emails this afternoon too.

  • 5 years ago

    I got a delay notice too. Hope it’s not an inventory mistake and we’ll still get our pruners.

  • 5 years ago

    Anyone get another update? i’m afraid our corona pruners are still stuck on that barge in the Suez Canal or in the Lost Ark of the Covenant.

  • 5 years ago

    No kidding me Ben. I haven’t even received the delay notice. I’m sure they are sitting off the west coast with all of the boba.

  • 5 years ago

    No, nothing yet.

  • 5 years ago

    I wonder if the hoarders got them.

  • 5 years ago

    I got the delay notice on 4/21 and not update on my order status. It still shows ‘being processed’ and estimate date is 4/21🤦‍♀️

  • 5 years ago

    I just received 3 emails from HD, they have shipped out my orders!! :-)

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks Summers! I got an email from them too, with an estimated arrival of 5/4. Woohoo!

  • 5 years ago

    I also got an email from them with est. arrival date 5/1 😊. Helen

  • 5 years ago

    I got them 😂. Helen

  • 5 years ago

    Yes they finally arrived today! And much better quality than I expected, hope everyone who ordered enjoy using yours!

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks Matt! They're beautiful!

    Looks great summers! That color on the roses is stunning, is it florist?

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks. Yes, they are from Wegmans.



  • 5 years ago


    They are really pretty!

  • 5 years ago

    Aren't they Sheila? I've just used them to prune some baby Loderi rhododendrons that just arrived. They are more useful than I thought! I'll probably use them for the tomato suckers this summer as well, if this spring's cold nights ever improve.
