Fiskars Stainless Steel Bypass Fashion Pruner, Black [379200-1005 FSKSHR]...

Work great

I bought one of these locally before (probably Walmart), but while trimming one of my trees, I lost the middle spring rendering it useless. I even emptied my green recycle bin thinking it fell in the bin while working. Found the spring days later in the lawn. Fortunately I ordered another right away. My older one was a nicer medium pink color, this is the same model, but kind of odd shade of red.

I have small hands coupled with arthritis and these pruning shears make pruning easy and comfortable. I've had one pair of these clippers for about 5 years now and ordered several more because I don't ever want to be without them. They hold their edge well and the pink color stands out well when I set them down in the garden. They occassionally lock when the safety catch engages accidentally but I've cut far larger diameter branches than they are designed to cut without any issues. These are a great ergonomic tool and I highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a comfortable smaller clipper at a reasonable price.

I found that this straight blade pruner requires less wrist movement when positioning it around a stem or small branch than one with a curved blade. Plus its an excellent value for its cost by Fiskars which have become my go to brand for trimmers and pruners. This is the second one I purchased because I was so happy with my first purchase a month ago.

A little shorter blades than the regular Fiskars we've been using, but super sharp, tough, and comfy grip that stays well in your hand. We use them to clip branches while riding, so dropping dropping stuff would be a pain. Haven't dropped these yet! They don't cut very thick branches, but do ok up to 1/2" diameter. Awesome clippers overall, definitely would recommend. I bought 4, so everybody riding can be working on trail while in the saddle!
