The Corona story started in 1928, in the orange groves around the city of Corona, California, during the expanding citrus industry. At the time, the fruit was simply pulled from the tree during harvesting. The fruit was transported to the east coast by rail, taking 15 days, and it often arrived in poor condition.
A local school teacher noted that harvesting by cutting would be less damaging to the fruit and designed a hand tool, asking a local blacksmith to forge it. The result was a small, precise and durable orange shear that proved to be an ideal solution and Corona was born. Changing the harvesting process, the citrus fruit was not damaged during transportation and the blacksmith became a supplier to the California citrus industry.
The blacksmith became a supplier to the industry – and Corona® was born.
Today, Corona is America’s leading tool innovator, offering reliable tools of outstanding strength and comfort, lasting durability and delivering maximum productivity.

Snips & Shears
The Orange Anvil Shears are where it all began for Corona. First designed and produced in the 1920s, the AG5050 was one of the first tools introduced by Corona in the citrus industry. It was designed specifically for rapid, high-volume orange, grapefruit, and apple harvesting, and has since been proven to be one of the most efficient and reliable tools on the market.
For more precise cutting on delicate plants, the compact Corona Long Straight Snips are made with fully heat-treated steel to effortlessly cut flowers, stems and other plant material.
Saws and Machetes
We have the RazorTooth saw with a whopping 30cm for pruning thicker branches. The blade has 3 sided razor teeth to cut through more material per pull stroke than conventional blades, and finish cutting up to 2x faster. Each blade is made from Japanese SK5 steel for long-lasting sharpness and chrome plated to reduce friction and improve tree trimming efficiency. You can purchase the AC7360 scabbard for the RazorTooth saw. It has its own scabbard for safe storage and carrying around the garden.
We also stock the Corona Machete MA60061. Crafted from tough tempered steel, the blade is durable and has greater strength which retains maximum sharpness. The handle is ergonomically balanced with the blade length and is made with an anti-slip material. A built-in hand stop and lanyard attachment hole means that you can trust that this tool will always be by your side when you need it most.
