fulfills its function correctly

good manufacturing mill blades; perfect for small branches and foliage (unlike roller mills); only minus the blade dulls quickly enough but easy to remove and sharpen if necessary; easy to open in case of jam (a knob to turn), mix leaves with branches to avoid the jam. Pruning Uses result laurels size of an almond tree and very satisfied, chips used for compost.

So a good buy for use in a small garden at a very competitive price Amazon.
