Great quality and great price. If you need a comfortable and easy to use hedge shear, purchase this one. The man in the family, says was the best purchase I have made in a long time. He liked this one and says is of exceptional quality

Unfortunately the handle on my shears shattered after 1 month. Until that that they cut very well, but I'm not so sure about the wooden handles. My suggestion is to get the shears below which have steel handles. They are also less expensive! Fiskars Power-Lever 10-Inch Hedge Shears #9177

I purchased the Fiskars 9180 hedge shears to do some clean up of vines in my back yard. The shears worked quite well at first, even taking down 1/4" soft tree limbs. Within the third hour of my project, I noticed the blades not closing all the way, the handles not meeting at the rubber stops. A metal pin that holds the two blades together had moved, causing the blades to become uneven. Thinking this was just a minor issue, I pushed the pin back into place, which aligned the blades. One or two vines later, the pin fell out into my lap in two pieces. Needless to say, it was totally out of commission.

The label on the handle clearly said Lifetime Warranty. However, the life of these trimmers was about 3 hours. I called the toll free number on the label and spoke with a Fiskars rep. They were pleasant but didn't seem very concerned about my disappointment in their product. They advised me to return them to the store in which I purchased them. I did so, and bought another brand, better quality.
