Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Produced by a leader in the garden tools market, the Fiskars PowerGear bypass pruner is perfect for precise clean cutting of green growth. The pruner features Fiskars's trademarked PowerGear design, which maximizes leverage for more pruning power for your effort. As you clasp the pruner, the outside handle actually rotates with the gears, an ingenious design that minimizes strain and fatigue while providing impressive results. The replaceable ultrahardened steel blade is designed to stay sharp longer than leading blades, and the handles are made of reinforced nylon engineered for strength and lightness. Fiskars PowerGear tools have been awarded the Arthritis Foundation's ease-of-use commendation. Designed with comfort in mind, the tool fits perfectly in the hand. With its 3/4-inch cutting capacity, this is definitely a professional quality pruner, but even weekend gardeners can benefit from its fantastic design. Lifetime warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Pruner on your Hands, May 3, 2000

By A Customer

If you have sore or tender hands, or a LOT of pruning to do, this is a great tool. No blisters and a lot less hand cramps with large jobs or long hours. I was surprised it really made that much difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good, July 25, 2003

By	Amy Lin "lil-m-moses" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We just bought our first house, and along with it a few trees, a lot of shrubs, and a couple dozen rosebushes, so I needed something good and easy-to-use. After sampling the options in the local hardware store, I decided these were the most comfortable, easiest to use, and seemingly best mechanism of the bunch. I've only been working with them for a month, but they're performing well so far.

The hold-closed latch is easy and well-placed (though it is easy to pop it unlatched if you stuff the clippers in your back pocket), the grip width is adjustable with a set screw (so small hands don't have to suffer), and the blade spread is admirable for a hand-held pruner (though adjusting the grip width does take a little off the blade spread too). The spring and other critical mechanical components are well shielded, so you won't be gumming them up with debris easily. It cuts through the rose pruning like butter and even gets through thick woody dead stuff with only a little effort. The rotating handle makes a huge difference in the comfort level, especially when cutting the the thick woody stuff.

They say buy the best you can afford, and these certainly seemed like the best option to me, and they weren't even that expensive. Certainly better to buy one pair of good pruners instead of three bad ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome pruners!, August 12, 2002

By	Karen L. Vandusen "cloudpeak" (Woodinville, Washington United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These pruners are better than any other hand pruners I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of them. This tool has a smooth action and easily cuts every piece of shrubbery that I've asked it to prune!
