Fiskars PowerGear2 Softgrip Pruner for Branches, Optimizes Cutting Power and Leverage, Rust-Resistant Low-Friction Blade Coating for Smooth Cuts, Yard & Garden Tools

Quality/Sturdy. Great Design & Very Sharp. I appreciate the safety/closed feature, too. Fit well in hands and so easy to use. Very Pleased.

These are a replacement for a previous pair that “disappeared “. I wouldn’t consider buying any other brand. I will say these are superior to my old ones,,,cutting power, ease of use, and maneuverability. They are certainly worth what you pay for them!

Fiskars makes great tools, and this is no exception. ALthough expensive, once you use them and experience the strong cutting power with their confort, they are worth the extra.

Fantastic when used for 1/2" & smaller branches, but when I used it for anything larger or dead hardwood branches, it did not cut through nicely and its plastic grip grears often slipped and even disengaged once. Whole product, with except for blades and pivot, is rugged plastic. After a few days of hard use, it felt wobbly & trying to tighten the pivot Hex did not help. Overall it is still a nice tool, but works much better if you use it for smaller branches & take time to make sure the blades are perfectly perpeticular to the branch.

I love these and order a new pair every year.

Within less than 3 months of sporadic use, the mechanism that locks & unlocks the blades froze. I have to use a hammer to lock & lock it, not able to do just w/ thumb force.

These shears rotate in your palm, leaving less wear and tear on your hands. This is my second pair (lost mine) and I'm so glad I found them on Amazon. All of my Fiskars pruning tools work great and last forever.

Increased mechanical advantage is achieved with a slick-looking gear feature. But it is plastic. On my fifth cut of a half-inch branch, something partly jumped the plastic gear, and the tool jammed. Done. Stuck. Good idea; make it in metal.

Good brand. I’ve used these for a few years and just had them sharpened by professionals. Should last me a long time.

Excellent quality, makes trimming branches easy.

So comfortable and they cut through small branches like cutting through butter

Very good pruner. Solid andc of good quality. Like the idea of an inside spring.

Great product. Can zip through ¾" fresh branches with little effort
