I'm a little ashamed to admit I wasn't into multitools at the time Tractor Supply was supposedly selling the Genus/Hybrid off for peanuts. Now, those tools are just plain nuts in price. The Bear and Son Gardener shears are more shears for heavy material, not loppers. I bought some cheapo (HB Smith) that had been at a local feed store for probably 20 years; and everything on it sucked. Good pruner MTs are simply something that doesn't exist. Nearly all on the market are el-cheapo. Stan Shaw made them in Sheffield for Ibberson, and I think Bonsa made a tool based on their fisherman's MT that had fold-out loppers instead of pliers. Like the former, those are stupid expensive as well.
