Look at Youtube for Ozito pruning Shears - very likely the same internals as both will likely be based on Einhell designs.

I'd also avoid Ryobi as I've found their batteries to be very poor. I now use DeWalts dating back to 2014 with a $20 adaptor for our Ryobi…

Yes, but not 365. If you need a new battery "today" then Ozito is your only option at this price point.

Reciprocating saw with a 200mm+ blade might be a better bet? Pruning shears do look useful though for my wife.

You must have OnePass, make sure you're logged in and then should see that price at checkout - worked for me.

It happens. Samsung are known for it but I'm sure it would happen to other brands too, indeed as witnessed here.
