VIVOSUN 6.5 Inch Gardening Scissors Hand Pruner Pruning Shear with Straight Stainless Steel Blades Orange 1-Pack

These gardening scissors are really razor SHARP (like seriously, I almost cut myself taking them out of the package). They come in a three-pack which is pretty convenient since you can keep one pair by your computer for opening boxes and stuff. Speaking of keeping them everywhere, they're light enough to carry around without being too heavy or bulky. The blades are curved which makes it easy to get into tight spots and make precise cuts, and the spring-loaded action means less hand fatigue when you're using them for a long time. I can see why people with arthritis would like these snips. I really don't have any complaints about these shears. The locking mechanism is simple and effective, and they seem pretty durable. They do their job well, whether I'm trimming my bonsai or cutting open some packaging. Plus, they look nice too - not that looks matter much for gardening tools (but it's a bonus anyway). All in all, these are great quality snips at a reasonable price. If you need a pair of gardening shears, you should definitely consider getting these.

Small sharp blade perfect for snipping back dried leaves or directing growth in your house plants. Nice grip with good locking button and tip cover for safety. The green color is great not too bright but not dull either. Too early to address your ability but for the price point and ease of use I would definitely buy again.

Feels good in the hand, and is larger (5-10%?) in all dimensions than the comparable Fiskars trimmer, which costs about 2x this price. The blades bear against each other perfectly, and, on testing, I find I can even cut the thinnest piece of tissue paper with them, as a test of the blades' nesting together. If this matching or proximity of the blades should change, it's easy to tighten the Philips-head screw at the fulcrum of the tool. Handles are inlaid with non-slip rubber, a nice feature in case there's perspiration or precipitation when you're working. A great tool! Hats off, VivoSun!, and thanks. A minor quibble: I've become used to the action of the Fiskars. The VivoSun has a spring that's a bit stronger than Fiskars' spring. I'll either get "used to" this higher (greater) restoring-force that impels the blades apart, or I'll change the spring tension: How can I do that? Well, it's easy to remove the spring, and if I heat it in a gas flame on the stove, holding it with kitchen tongs or a pliers, and let it cool s-l-o-w-l-y, the tension of the hard spring may soften (this is "annealing"). IF I overdo the softening, I can heat it cherry-red again and plunge it into water to re-harden it. Simple. No hurry! Maybe I'll just get used to this stronger spring, and maybe it will also become a little weaker in force as I use it over months and years (yes, the construction of this trimmer is up to lasting years and decades, I'd say). The lock is very positive and easy to employ. Kudos! Again, a great tool, and it's a bargain. I'll use this on tomatoes, and other garden plants, for pruning and trimming of tender stems, and leaves. --Joe / Tucson AZ / USA UPDATE: May 29. 2021 >>>----> I've annealed (softened) the spring in the way I mention above, and it's just right now to my way of feeling and working. Another reviewer mentioned that he "shortened" the spring to reduce its tension, but, no need to cut it if you do the simple annealing of its hardness as I've outlined. Thus far, I've pruned six or seven cherry-tomato plants, and, oh yes, some of the larger fan-leaves from other plants that are now about 4 weeks into flowering. Excellent action of the pruner, and they are extremely precise. (BTW, laughable account by the reviewer who claims the stainless metal blades dissolved in isopropyl alcohol! Had a good chuckle... ). --JLM p.s. To protect the sharp ends and straightness of the precision-ground blade tips, I use a half of a wine-cork as a protector (you could trim the cork down further to make it more compact). This saves pockets from being punctured and perforated, too. ;-) I'll include a photo of the cork in place on the pruner tips, here with this edit. "Safety First!" A nice alternative to a cork would be to dip the tips into a can of the liquid "tool-handle" dip coating, like the "Plasti-Dip" which Amazon sells, and let that deposit harden-up until it's cured in a few hours (the Fiskars trimmer comes with a tip-protector like that). Best wishes trimming. -J.

These gardening scissors work great and make clean, precise cuts. They’re sharp, comfortable to hold, and perfect for trimming plants and light pruning. The only downside is that the blades tend to get sticky and can start to stick if you don’t clean them fairly often, especially after cutting sap-heavy plants. A quick wipe-down fixes the issue, but it does require a little upkeep. Think of them as high-maintenance, but totally worth it. Overall, a solid pair of scissors that get the job done really well.

Sharp and cuts effortlessly.

Initially received only one of the garden scissors in this 2-pack order. After contacting customer service, Vivosun immediately reached out to correct my order. A+ service! I received the second pair the next business day. Great garden scissors, sharp and perfect for working with dahlias!

These gardening scissors work pretty decent. The problem with these are the locking safety keeps sliding into the lock position whilst using them. If the sliding lock mechanism was not so loose it would work but as is the design is not for me. I broke the slider off and will use them like this until I buy a different brand next time.
