Ratings & Reviews for Fiskars 7-in Steel Multipurpose garden hand tool

Snapped-litteraly

I purchased this at my favorite garden center, I used it a few times with no problem. I was about to order one for my sister in law as a thank you. Today my son was using it to help me reorganize some things in my garden. The handle snapped right off while removing some Star of Bethlehem. Obviously I won't be replacing this one, or getting one for my sister in law. Very disappointed in the quality of this, as I've used Fiskars both in my garden and for sewing, for years.

Gardners Tool Kit

I liked how I could cut out the ground before digging up the soil for spring planting.

Root removal magic

cut through flower roots really easy. Best tool for removing old plants

Perfect for small edging

Perfect for small edging. Needed something to clear the overgrowth off of in-ground headstones. This worked very well. So well, I'm keeping it my car.

This knife pairs well with Led Zeppelin

Great for weeds!

I love this garden tool for digging weeds up! I like and trust the Fiscars brand.

Best Weeding Tool

Sturdy, comfortable grip, and works great for getting out the weeds!

I haven't found anything this tool works for.

The tool is very easy to use and hold, but it's not sharp. So all of the small chores I thought it could handle, I ended up using something else. I tried to cut/saw six small trees, maybe 1" in diameter, that were encroaching on my campfire ring. It was hopeless. I actually cut them with the pruning shears. I thought the blade side would be machete-like for cutting climbing vines, but it's a blunt edge as well. I had moderate success jamming the point in the ground and bringing up long rooted...

Great tool and good value.

This works really well at getting the roots of weeds out of my garden.

Work great for getting weeds out

Lowes stands behind what they sale!

Easy to use

Broke within the first week.

This seems to be a common issue with this tool. My wife actually liked this tool, worked well for weeding, but after just a few days of use, she was disappointed when it broke digging out a small root. I looked at it and was not at all surprised that it broke, the handle was only tack-welded to the blade with 4 small welds, only one of which had held to both pieces. Almost as if it was planned to brake. The other photos on this site show the same thing.

Nice handle

Wasn’t as sharp as I expected.

cost efficient

Price:Higher-quality pruning shears can be more expensive compared to basic models, which may not fit everyone's budget, these are not expenive

Bought it because of the name

I thought because of the name that it would be better made and heavy duty. It's ok, but I'm disappointed in the way it handles.

Bad construction.

Used it one time and it broke. It’s not made of steel.

Not tyoical Fiskars Quality

the handle is a cheap metal and broke easily after prying on a small root.

Works well, cheaply built

I used this for just over a month. It started bending where the handle and blade meet, then broke. The handle is a weak design and uses cheap metal. If you have any clay like soil it will break this knife.
