These are the ideal weight and size with virtually no stickiness. So far very durable and the grips is very utilitarian.

Great pair of bypass cutters, I also own the competition to this one, and the Fiskars are better for me and wife likes these better also. Lock works great, easy cutting and pruning, cleans up well. They seem to be well made, but only time will tell.The competition still works fine but not quite as easy to use says the wife.

First off it arrived in a padded envelope and when I opened it up and grabbed the top of the packaging, all that came out was the cardboard. Next was the plastic. Then the shears. I don’t know if it was used or somehow came completely apart during shipping. Maybe that’s why it was on sale for thirteen bucks. Dunno. But it seems to be decent quality for the price.It has a strong spring and handles open very wide. If you have small hands these won’t work for you. Men’s large size or greater hands will be able to use them comfortably. Otherwise you’ll be fighting the strong spring the entire time.The blades are fairly sharp bypass design. They cut through green stems very easily and plastic packaging too without any marks or damage. I haven’t tried dead branches or tougher stuff yet but I think they’ll hold up okay.Overall for the price and if you have large hands, I’d give them five stars. But I’m docking one for the problems listed. They aren’t as refined as Felco or some Japanese brands but they are solid and the spring will last forever it seems! Oh and a benefit of the spring and wide opening is extra leverage. Very easy to cut through stuff!

La construction semble solide , mais le système de verrouillage se bloque lors de l utilisation. L usage est du fait compliqué

I already own a pair of Fiskars PowerArc scissors that have performed consistently well for me throughout the years so when my pruners broke I decided to try the brand. I bought this pair simply because as it turns out, they were the #1 best seller and the price. I couldn’t be happier!I’ve been using them for a few weeks now and have been cutting through a variety of woody, and non-woody stems measuring maybe an 1 inch or less diameter with ease: small/underdeveloped tree branches (elm, bougainvillea & crape myrtle), vines (smilax/greenbriar/wisteria/morning glory) and any other undesirable growths that have sprung up. I have small hands and weak wrists so I appreciate the light weight and not having to apply a great amount of force when cutting. Other things I like:1. The blades are super sharp and the handles are comfortable enough for better maneuverability when working in hard-to-reach or tight spots.2. The cuts have all been consistently clean & sharp so less chance of disease from a torn/shredded/ragged improper cut and better chances of a faster healing time.3. There is better edge retention with high quality steel blades so it requires less frequency to sharpen your blades and less chance of working with dull blades during the season. Granted, it’s based on volume but I hope to sharpen only once during a season. I admit it. I hate sharpening blades and that makes me guilty of using a dull blade longer than I should. Time will tell on this pair.4. The locking mechanism works as it should and is bright orange which makes it easy to see, store & operate.5. Nice touch having the self-cleaning sap groove that in addition to stopping the blades from sticking, will aid in the prevention of bacteria transmission from plant to plant.6. Coil/spring failure has been my biggest issue with pruners in the past. - They rust, spring out, lock in place, don’t have pressure etc. They are a fix and repair daily while pruning project. They have turned a simple task into one of the most frustrating projects on the planet. The Fiskars has no visible coils or springs, they’re housed inside the unit and function smoothly like shock absorbers on a car. So far, working without malfunctions has allowed me to develop a rhythm and get more accomplished without straining my wrist.Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the performance, quality, and price. Getting rid of all the other pairs. I also noticed that these are the only pruners I have with their name etched on it. Definitely 5 stars!!! -P.S. These come with a lifetime guarantee.

> Just about the perfect pruning shears.> Cuts cleanly through branches up to about 1/2", albeit that takes a strong grip.> If your grip is weak, or you want to cut thicker branches I suggest short loppers such as or ratcheting pruning shears such as > For easiest and longest use, keep the blades dry and oiled. WD-40 spray is the easiest method -- it not only oils the shears, it also displaces any moisture.> Eventually (years or hundreds of uses) the (top) blade will get loose and the pruner will not cut so well. Just tighten the upper bolt, test, tighten some more, etc. until the blades close tightly, but the blades will still open when you release your grip> CONS: I find only one shortcoming I can find is that there is no easy way to attach a lanyard---so, no easy way to hang the pruning shears from a hook---or with a carabineer from a belt loop.PRUNERS vs LOPPERS> Normally, pruners are best for stems and branches up to ⅜" diameter, and loppers are best for branches greater than ¾" diameter. In between, other consideration come into play.> Pruners are used 1-handed, loppers are used 2-handed. If you need to hold a stem or branch while you cut, or you want to collect the cut stems as you work, a pruner is your best choice. Loppers are less tiring if you are cutting alot of thick stems, particularly if you have a weak grip for some reason. Loppers (particularly extendable handle loppers) give you far more reach, so that you don’t have to bend over, or resort to a ladder. The reach can also help protect you from the thorns of roses, etc.OTHER DESIGN OPTIONS: Unless you have a specific reason to choose another design, pruning shears should be simple and bypass in design. The choices are more complex for loppers.BYPASS vs ANVIL: Bypass pruners are analogous to scissors, with two blades which move past one another. Anvil pruners are analogous to a cleaver and cutting board, with 1 blade and an anvil to which the blade cuts. Bypass pruners usually cut more cleanly with less crushing, which is usually better for the plant. Anvil loppers may not easily cut completely through very fibrous stems. Anvil pruners are less likely to jam and flex, and do not require adjustment.SIMPLE vs COMPOUND, GEARED, or RACHET: Geared, compound, and rachet designs give you more leverage, but that usually is not desirable in pruning shears—but either requiring you to open the shears wider, or squeeze them multiple times to cut through a stem. For small or easily-cut stems, simple pruning shears are easier and less tiring to use.Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my reviews of loppers for details on how to choose among lopper designs.
