Pruning Shears, PowerGear2 Technology Multiplies Power, Rolling Handle for Ease of Use, 3/4-Inch Cut Capacity Bypass Pruner, UltraBlade Coating and SoftGrip, Garden and Yard Tools

These are very easy to use! The handle is very comfortable, and the mechanism sort of swivels, with a very smooth action. And of course it has the usual sharp Fiskars blades. It cuts branches up to about 3/4th of an inch. I mislaid mine, and was so upset I bought another one! Then I found the first one, so now I have two, and I can cut with both hands if I need to. (The first one was outside in the weather for a couple of weeks until I found it, but it still works smoothly. The orange handle is a little faded, but that's all the damage I can see.)

Now what I’m gonna tell you I used these for is going to be surprising but just know that I used them for an entire week and squeezed them over 75-100 times each night. Worked like a charm. We used them to cut Christmas light strands out of trees we decorated (we do it commercially) and needed something that was going to be sharp and not hurt our hands doing it over and over. The way one side of the grip pivots when you squeeze, TOTALLY saves your hand. Highly recommend

This is my second pair of these Fiskar's Clippers. The first pair lasted 20 years until I dropped them on the concrete and they busted. This pair appears to be just as durable and hopefully they will last just as long as my original ones. The ratcheting handle does take a little getting used to, but doesn't bother me at all

Fiskar put a hard plastic gear in between the handles, which has a tendency to bind, especially when pruning a limb that negates the purpose of having pruning shears to begin with. I've always had good luck with Fiskar products, but I'm a little disappointed in these pruning shears.

I bought this Fiskar pruners based on reputation and past experience with some of their products. Key words “past reputation “. However this not inexpensive product is not worth the money. The gimmicky handle rotation on compression actually makes it more difficult to hold and control and I see absolutely no improvement over a standard handle closure design. There is no extra cutting power at all and with the rotating handle it slips in your hand therefore actually making it dangerous! Because of this slipping and rotation you are very likely to get blisters just as I did, even with gloves. Next and probably most important for a shears is that after the first use pruning branches no more 1/4-1/2 inches thick ( they specifically 3/4 inch cut capacity) the cutting blade is out of alignment, bent, and folded over in multiple places, blade no longer straight and won’t even cut cleanly. Did I mention that this was the first and only time I’ve used it. At this point I am completely disappointed and annoyed and this will likely be the last time I trust or rely on a Fiskars product. PS: Been months and still no reply from Fiskars. Amazon hasn’t posted the review either. Unbiased hmm?

Unique handle grip is comfortable and very user-friendly. I was surprised that I did not have to exert excessive force to cut through small branches and pithy shrubs. This is a simple case of “you get what you pay for.” I already feel confident that these clippers are built to last and will get me through several seasons.

This is my favorite pair of clippers, so much so, I bought this pair as a gift for another who can surely use them

I wanted to love these pruners. I have a pair of Fiskars that are ar least 15 years old that are still one of my go-to pruners, but are getting dull and damaged edges. These new ones don't compare although they look the same. To start with, they are too big for my hand, so that I can't open them fully and still be able to get a grip. This severely limits the size of branch I can cut without using both hands, at which point I might as well use loppers or a saw. More importantly, the spring isn't strong enough to re-open the blades most of the time, again requiring the use of the other hand, severely slowing me down. To top it off, the locking mechanism just quit functioning, so the blades are open and exposed to rummaging fingers in the drawer. I might as well have gotten the $8 knock offs.

They are well made and finished and are easy to use requiring less force than normal. You could say that, compared to standard secateurs, they're a cut above.

Uma tesoura de poda com muita qualidade! Bem afiada, muito confortável de usar em razão do seu sistema de rolagem dos cabos, boa capacidade de corte, lâminas com proteção para reduzir o processo de oxidação, e bem ergonômica. Recomendo a Fiskars P552!

Fantastic secateurs - easy to operate and well worth asking price.

Weird geared design seriously makes for easy cutting. Uses so much less strength to snip off plant stems. Worth the extra spend especially if using it a lot, or hand doesn't have as much strength

Son muy cómodas y con su sistema de engranes facilitan el trabajo. Se requiere mucho menos fuerza para cortar ramas que con otras tijeras del mismo tipo. El metal de las hojas de corte es de buena calidad y conserva el filo. Personas con manos débiles o artritis lo beben tener.
