2.0 out of 5 stars Fiskars Ratcheting Anvil Pruner, July 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Fiskars 7685 Ratchet Anvil Pruner (Lawn & Patio)

Works fine on branches 1/2 inch or less. It is rated to 3/4 inch, but branches much over 1/2 inch it became hard to get it to ratchet and the blades tended to bend. My pruner handle gave out after one summer of use. Fiskars has yet to respond to my request regarding weather they will be replacing it under its "life time warranty."

After only a couple of months of use, the flimsy handle broke.
It didn't always ratchet either!

2.0 out of 5 stars broke the first time out, February 1, 2006

I got about 20 minutes of use out of this and I was just thinking that it was doing really well for the price, when it broke in two going through a 1/2" piece of ivy.

On closer inspection, the middle is made of plastic. It should really be metal. It turns out the ratcheting mechanism gives more torque than the handle can take.

It might be good for cutting flowers or something, but don't rely on it for bigger jobs even though it says it is good up to 3/4".
