 Great performance and control, perfect for a lefty Feb 08, 2010
By austin_Larry
I have a number of pruners including a Felco and a Fisker power gear pruner. Both are fine pruners, but the powergear really is intended to be used by a righty. Which my wife is.
I am a lefty and short of buying the Felco lefty pruner I thought I would give this a shot. I am glad I did. First the handles are very comfortable. Excellent shape to them. The most comfortable handles I have ever used on a pruner. Second it is very maunervable. You can get to branches from any angle and direction. And I do want to point out that is really hand-neutral. My wife likes it just as much as I do. Of much less importance it looks cool. All black.
But bottom-line is you get an excellent performing pruner with extremely comfortable handles at a very good price. Great choic for a lefty or righty.

 Like a hot knife through butter Nov 01, 2010
By Yarii
This is my first-ever pair of pruning shears so I have no way to compare them with other pruners. Having never used a pruner before, I wished it would have come with more directions than it did; for instance, I had no idea which side of the blade to hold "upwards" for the best cutting leverage, and it says the blade tension is adjustable, but I have no idea how to adjust it. It does have a diagram on blade replacement on the card (but no part number listed for the replacement blades).
I ordered this to help with trimming down a burning bush that had grown all the way up to the soffit and gutters and had grown completely out of control. Then for cutting the branches up so they would fit in my trash cart. It worked great for that.
Kind of hard to tell the size here from the picture, they are about 11" long. The description says they are good for up to 1 inch in diameter. Maybe I'm just not strong enough, but I had to use a small hand saw to cut through the wooden branches that were an inch thick. I tried at first using the pruners with a two-handed method for more cutting strength, however I was afraid I'd break the pruner. Even though these come with a great full lifetime warranty, I didn't want to chance breaking them by stressing them out too much. Maybe I would have done better with a ratcheting pruner, but as long as these made my job easier, I'm happy.
So I used the hand saw on my large branches that were basically old wood and for anything more green and soft, ¾" and under, the pruners worked fine. Being ergonomically correct, they are comfortable in the hand, and went through the smaller branches like a hot knife cuts through butter.
After pricing some locally, you can't go wrong buying your pruners here at Amazon.

High Quality Shears Apr 06, 2011
By D. Baldwin

I don't have a lot of experience buying pruning shears, which is why I went strait to Fiskars. I have yet to purchase a yard tool from Fiskars that I haven't been absolutely pleased with. In my opinion, if it has the Fiskars name on it, it will be sharp, quality, and will have a long life of heavy use.
I went with these particular shears over other Fiskars shears because they seemed to be higher build quality. These shears cut large branches with no problem. My strength is the limiting factor.
The lock mechanism was difficult to dis-engage when I pulled the shears out of the package, and I have yet to be able to re-engage the lock. However, that doesn't affect the cutting ability, so I'm giving this product 5 stars.
