Ratings & Reviews for Fiskars Large Softgrip Steel Bypass Hand Pruner with Standard handle
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these pruners for sharp bypass blades that cut smoothly through branches up to 3/4 inch without crushing stems, ergonomic softgrip handles that reduce hand fatigue, and a secure one-handed locking mechanism. Many highlight how the tool makes pruning accessible for those with limited hand strength or arthritis. The blades retain sharpness over repeated use on tough vines and woody stems. A small number report locking mechanism failures or handles too large for smaller hands, but most consider the pruners reliable and effective for routine gardening.

Look for other products for doing your pruning
Would Not Recommendthe product worked well at first for trimming small wood branches but after trimming about 20 branches now the hand pruner will not close and lock without some assistance and at a risk of cutting my fingers while trying to get it to close. BAD DESIGN/BAD QUALITY I would not recommend this product

We’re sorry to hear the pruner didn’t hold up as expected. With a maximum cut capacity of up to ¾ in., it’s possible that something thicker or toughe...
Worthless
Would Not RecommendI bought these pruners 6 days ago and have used them only a few times, or tried to use them. As stated by another reviewer, the pruners now will not close all the way making them useless to prune. Of course, they will also not lock. A total waste of money.
We regret to hear the pruners are not closing properly so soon after purchase. This is not the experience we aim to provide. If you feel this was cau...
Hand Pruner Tool
Would RecommendComfortable to handle, good mechanical advantage, and quite reliable to hold onto to avoid dropping. Like any cutting tool, it must be sharpened periodically, just like your kitchen knives. Tools like this would best be sold with a file to remind users to file the cutting blade before each use, just as you would steel a kitchen knife before each use. Very handy for pruning rose bush deadheads.

Blade unusably soft
Would Not RecommendFirst cut out of the box on a small branch bent the edge of the blade and made it unusable. Used a file to fix it, immediately bent again.
That’s not the experience we want you to have. The blade should handle small branches without issue, so what you described isn’t typical. If you fee...
