What Customers Are Saying
The Fiskars hand pruners are a mixed-performance product. Many users praise their sharpness, ease of use, and effectiveness for cutting small to medium-sized branches and stems. The pruners are also noted for their sturdy construction, comfortable grip, and convenient locking mechanism. However, some users report issues with blade misalignment, poor durability, and the inability to handle thicker branches, leading to dissatisfaction and the need for returns or repairs. Overall, the pruners seem suitable for light to medium-duty gardening tasks, but may not be reliable for more demanding applications.

Extremely disappointed. There’s nothing soft about this pruner.

Try a different one
Would Not RecommendDue basically to a design flaw, the pruner frequently does not fully close, therefore it doesn't cut all the way through, and you often can't move the switch to lock it closed.

Would Not RecommendWe ended up having to go back twice! When they came to install it was not correct size! So the third time we went to Grand Appliance! Both times at Lowe’s (twice different people) no one was qualified to assist us! Won’t go back! Lowe’s used to be so much better!!!

Sharp edge, but they stick
Would Not RecommendAs with most of the other hand pruners sold at Lowes, these are poor quality. Right from the outset, they had a habit of sticking when the blades have almost closed (right before they cut the branch), so you have to apply a LOT of extra pressure (two hands required) to "snap" them past whatever they're getting caught on. My suspicion is that the locking mechanism is broken, causing the pruners to snag on the lock as they're closing, but it's just frustrating that nobody seems to be able to make ...

Good for outside work!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these for helping cutting down over grown in my backyard. Only worry is the lock on it doesn’t seem to stay shut. They are very easy to use & cuts exactly where I need.
