Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears, 5/8-Inch Cut Capacity Garden Clippers, Gardening Scissors with Sharp, Rust Resistant Steel Blade

These are very sharp and accurate, and work perfectly, with no tearing of the plant tissue. The handles are comfortable and a good length. I highly recommend these.

these work very well, I trim my roses and small vines with these an they have been very helpful. they have stayed sharp and seem to be durable. they are a good size for my hands and not hard to utilize.

Performs as advertised. Good quality and easy to use

Bought these shears for a good price. They did a decent show, but I noticed they started getting stuck in the close position after pruning for 20-30 mins straight. I think it's because it doesn't have the traditional coil that creates the tension to automatically reset the shears to a cutting position. If you're doing more heavy duty yard work, I would recommend something more sturdy, but you can't beat the price if you're just doing some light gardening.

One of the most important rules for safety is to use the right tool for the job. Don't cut off your shirt tag with a steak knife, don't stoke your fireplace with a broom handle, you get the idea. Not only is using the appropriate tool safer, but it is more efficient, easier, and produces better results.Cutting my flower stems with regular scissors or kitchen shears was both difficult and resulted in jagged uneven cuts. These shears worked much better, cutting through stems like butter and leaving clean cuts to help extend the lives of my flowers.

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.

These are great shears, sharp, well built, strong and good size

Good quality. Can be sharpened a lot of times. easy to use even if you have smaller hands. Cuts right through my rose canes w/ease..
