Fair price, works nicely, very sharp, shipped quickly, very pleased!

First off, I want to say I'd give it a solid "5" star rating if it didn't sometimes have difficulty springing back open. Other than that, I love this thing. It has very smooth and precise action. It is lightweight, strong, comfortable to use, and easily cuts twigs up to 3/8" with a simple squeeze. It is great for trimming back various "intruders" that come though my chain link fence from the neighbor's yard, and takes no prisoners when it comes to honeysuckle vines-- I can gather them like rope and cut large amounts at one time. And, it fits nicely in my overalls' side pocket. A quality tool, indeed.

Excellent pruners. Stay sharp, easy to use. Especially like locking mechanism. Another pair I tried would lock themselves periodically in where these do not. Only suggestion I would make would be to change color to a bright color. Loaned mine to a friend who lost them in a pile of brush.

very good pruners, cuts perfectly and easy to use

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.
