User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Good for Light Duty Cutting
These work fine on green wood up to 1/2″ in diameter, but anything larger needs more leverage. The lock is easy to use and very accessable, making one hand operations a breeze. The best thing about these is that they’ll fit in your back pocket and stay locked. I also have a ratcheting, anvil style clipper that works much better on slightly larger twigs with much less effort.
5 Stars Fiskars Pruning shears
This is a very simple product but fiskars for some reason always ends up with better products. the blades on the shears have stayed sharper longer than any other brand i have tried. and the locking mechanism on the side is very no nonsense.
3 Stars Average shears
The blades are sharp, the capacity is good, but the handle covers have a way of sliding off the handles in frequent use.
2 Stars Not The FISKARS You Expect
Not what I expected…FISKARS are supposed to be high quality stainless made in Finland. These are ordinary steel, ordinary pruners, made in the USA for Fiskars. I returned them. Fiskars Garden Shears Model 9637 are the real thing. But now that these pruners are reduced in price, as long as you know what you are getting, they aren’t a bad buy.
5 Stars great pruners for bushes
I like these a lot — I bought them last May to cut back our lilac and forsythia bushes which hadn’t been pruned in several years. The shears cut easily through both thick and thin stems, you can even cut several thin branches at once. I’ve since used them on average of once a week to cut and trim back tree branches and saplings as well as roses and other bushes. Fwiw, they do tend to do better on green or growing wood than on dead branches. As another reviewer noted, the foam handle covers can slide off but I glued mine back on and haven’t had any problems since. The blades are easy to keep clean and the lock keeps them locked even if you say, toss them on the grass or a chair. Note, these aren’t for pruning large tree branches or tough, thick bushes but they’re great for basic pruning.
