x2 on the Coronas. I've pruned a lot of trees in my life, and Corona makes some of the best loppers, pole pruners, and hand pruners on the market. I also love Vortex glass, but I've only got scopes so far, so I won't weigh in on the binoculars.
P.S.
On a somewhat related subject: If you're looking for a hand saw for pruning trees and clearing shooting lanes, check out Silky saws. You can't go wrong with anything they make. I think they are literally the best saws in the world. I've carried a LOT of saws; nothing compares. (Silky Zubat is my personal favorite. Been carrying the same one for 6 years, and still doesn't need sharpened.)
