easy to use [Posted on 2007-05-13] this pruner is easy to use and sharp. glad i bought it.
Easily Jammed, Week Sping Action, Not Versatile [Posted on 2007-09-23] This was one of the first cutters I bought for the garden and has been the least successful. The blades easily jam, this is particularly frustrating when trimming suckers at the base of a tree and I pick up a stray wood chip. Part of the problem maybe due to defective workmanship or faulty design because the blades don't make a tight pass and can become easily clogged. It only worked trouble free for a month before I had to replace it with the Power Gear design from Fiskars, a dramatically better product!
This might be good for medium duty branch trimming and nothing else, but otherwise I would look at the other Fiskar designs for a more trouble-free and versatile trimmer.
Sharp pruner. [Posted on 2007-10-23] Great deal for around $8. Very useful aroung the yard. Even trims large diameter branches. Impress with its ability to snap those large branches.
Great Pruner! [Posted on 2007-11-11] These are the best pruners I have ever had. Very solid, with nice cut and strength. Highly recommended.
A so-so pruner [Posted on 2008-07-18] Jams closed frequently as described by another reviewer.
After several years of moderate use the slide button became ineffective and unadjustable. It drove me nuts latching open or closed depending on the angle the pruner was at. Finally I replaced the slide button with a "Nylock" nut and bolt. Latches ok now.
It fits comfortably in my hand.
