Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears 5/8” Garden Clippers – Plant Cutting Scissors with Sharp Precision-Ground Steel Blade

Great for trimming cut flowers. I’m replacing an old pair I had for many years that was lost in a move. I love having fresh flowers in the house and these shears make easy work of trimming cut flowers for arrangements. They’re easy to hold, and sharp enough to cut even the toughest stems – even with small, weak hands like mine. Also, very durable.

Having larger hands would help but even my very average hands work well with this great tool. Fisker is my garden tool of choice (I’m a 80yr old gardener since childhood.) These are heavier that I expected but they tackle everything I put them to do. I never go off the porch without my bag of “well loved” tools and I added this pair of pruners!They are strong, heavy duty, and exactly what I needed! I couldn’t garden without them!I would buy them for my daughter (and will for the holidays) and recommend them to any real gardeners!

A good quality tool if you want reliable performance. 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.

Large hands needed, poor packaging but good quality. 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!

Fiskars Pruning Shears Make Trimming a Breeze. These shears are not only sharp but incredibly comfortable to hold during lengthy pruning sessions. The ergonomic grip fits naturally in the hand, reducing strain and making it easy to get through thick branches and dense bushes with precision. They are easy to maneuver even when I’m working on overgrown areas, and they slice through stubborn stems without a problem. Fiskars has made trimming and shaping bushes a truly enjoyable task—highly recommend these if you want a durable, efficient, and comfortable tool.

Sharp and strong. The media could not be loaded. I was trying to use scissors to cut all my flower stems but they just weren’t strong enough, so I found these and this is exactly what I needed.Sharp, super strong and can cut the thickest of stems with no problem.Design is great, good grip and perfect size. They get the job done!

Excellent Garden Clippers. Excellent pruning shears. Easy to handle and cuts very well. Works on small and medium branches of numerous plants. Pruning ferns, hosta and arborvitaes. Fiskar brand products are well made. In my opinion the product should be in any gardeners tool box.

Ez cuts. 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.
