Fiskars Bypass 修枝剪，5/8 英寸切割能力园艺剪刀，带锋利防锈钢刀片的园艺剪刀

I give this product a high 3 stars (3.75), but naturally I have to round.

Here is why:

1) Excellent: Lemon tree’s fast growing green branches with stickers but no leaves. You can actually hear the quiet “snnpp!” sound as you cut away the branch. This is clearly the kind of cutting this product was made for.

2) Pretty-Very good: penny to nickle diameter sized branches, both old growth and new. Some of the reviews indicated there might be problems with older hard wooden branches. These were, obviously, a little harder to cut, but the shears cut with little to no problems. There is such satifaction when the branches come off easily, and the tree limb inches higher, or suddenly there is light where there was dense bush growth before.

3) Doable, but not good: palm fronds. Cutting through old and falling over dying palm leaves/fronds is hard. So hard in fact that it required 3 or 4 tries coming from different sides of the frond, and much effort to get through th middle. Plus, while cutting and twisting for this frond, I bent the shears, (didn’t know you could do that) such that the blades did not close all the way (??!!!??). Fortunately, I had to do some more cutting, and that pretty much bend them back. The blades close now, but there is a little catch. While the width of the fronds are still within an acceptable size, these shears are clearly limited for this purpose.

4) 6 in one hand, 1/2 dozen in other: The grips, while quite comfortable, do not necessarily stay on the handles. My very first use (the lemon tree, the bushes, the pine tree branches, the palm fronds) lasted about 20 minutes. Within this time, the grip on one of the handle started sliding off. I pulled it back up, and it stayed attached (for now). I don’t know if there needs to be more adhesive appied, or whether this is a sign of more problems to come, but if you need a product whose “fit and finish” are beyond reproach, keep this tidbit in mind.

Conclusion: Not bad, but these are not top of the line shears, nor are they intended to be. They can do small jobs very well, but “small” can be a relative term, and in this case, does not apply to palm fronds. They CAN cut quickly, completely, and comfortably on things that do fall within its scope.

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.

When I got these in the mail, I was a bit disheartened by the feel of them. They didn’t open and close smoothly out of the package, and they were pretty light which concerned me as far as quality for the price.

I took them out for a test drive on the rise bush and hurricane-damaged plants. Surprisingly, they were incredibly effective. It took very little pressure to get them to close and they fit in between the rose vines so I didn’t end up getting stabbed everywhere.

They’re excellent for small shrubs, younger rose bushes, etc. The grin is comfortable and gave my arthritic hands no trouble.

Hopefully they can stand up to moisture, but that will be on me as much as the metal. I’m lazy when i store things.

Overall, good shears.
