These pruning shears are the only ones you'll ever need. They are so strong, so fantastic, work on all plants and palms and small trees. Highly recommend these for all gardeners and home owners! -- Strong Shears!

I needed these pruning shears. They work great. I am very happy with them and this purchase. -- Fiskars Traditional Bypass Pruning Shears #9109

I've owned about a half dozen pruning shears over the years. I've never worn any out. Mostly I lose or misplace them and then I buy a replacement. About 2 1/2 years ago I was picking up some new tools in a garden shop and I bought a pair of Fiskars pruning shears. I'd never heard of the brand, but the clerk assured me that Fiskars made good garden tools. (I might add that Fiskars was about the only brand the shop sold.) Well, I purchased the Fiskars pruning shears and a Fiskars lopper and I've been very satisfied with these particular garden tools, much more so than other brands I've owned.

The Fiskars Pruning Shears are somewhat crude in appearance but they're ruggedly built and maintain a sharp cutting edge. I've put these shears to a lot of use and they've yet to be sharpened. Plus, the blades seem to be absolutely stiff and don't bend under forceful use. I can cut green limbs up to about 3/4" with these. I'd say this is the best pruning shears I can remember using, certainly much better than the last two brands. I can't help notice "Made in U S A" stamped on one side of the tool. I hope this is still true.

This is a very simple product but fiskars for some reason always ends up with better products. the blades on the shears have stayed sharper longer than any other brand i have tried. and the locking mechanism on the side is very no nonsense. -- Fiskars Pruning shears

I like these a lot -- I bought them last May to cut back our lilac and forsythia bushes which hadn't been pruned in several years. The shears cut easily through both thick and thin stems, you can even cut several thin branches at once. I've since used them on average of once a week to cut and trim back tree branches and saplings as well as roses and other bushes. Fwiw, they do tend to do better on green or growing wood than on dead branches. As another reviewer noted, the foam handle covers can slide off but I glued mine back on and haven't had any problems since. The blades are easy to keep clean and the lock keeps them locked even if you say, toss them on the grass or a chair. Note, these aren't for pruning large tree branches or tough, thick bushes but they're great for basic pruning. -- great pruners for bushes
