I have been using these sheers now for the last couple of month. I also own the cheaper 30mm sheers which go for around A$100 compared to AU$167 for these sheers. The main differences of these sheers to the cheaper sheer are: The more expensive has torque control, that is, if the cutting force is too great the sheers stop cutting where the cheaper sheers continue cutting until gears start crunching. The cutting force on the blades is a little more but not significantly more than the cheaper sheer. I found the limit to be about 25mm on green apple trees branches before the torque limit started activating These sheer are a heavier than the cheaper sheers and it would have been a good idea to have a belt type battery holder to reduce the weight. (0.924kg without battery to 0.747kg) and with battery (Makita 5.0Ah) 1.56kg to 1.38kg The gear that drives the blade is made of solid brass whereas the cheaper sheer is made of an alloy that tends to jump teeth under very heavy loads. The cutting speed of both sheers is about the same The battery life of both sheers it about the same and will cut all day on one charge Both cutting blades quality seem to be similar although blade in the more expensive sheer the is about 25% thicker and wider. I have accidently 2.5mm fencing wire on both sheers without damaging the blades The manual is written in Chinese and you need to use Google translate on your phone to read it. I found it a little vague on how to properly adjust the blade. The finger protection on this sheers does not work and there is no reference in the manual on this feature. Overall, these sheers are better made than then the cheaper cutter at the cost of additional weight. It also has protection to stop damage to the cutter when trying to cut material that is too thick or hard. I find these sheers fine but the wife likes the lighter sheers
