Ratings & Reviews for Fiskars UltraSharp PowerGear2 Steel Bypass Hand Pruner with Standard handle

Ultra Sharp

This bad boy is very sharp and has 3 times cutting power. It will cut branches up to 3/4 inches thick. The blades are coated with a non stick cover which will make cutting a whole lot easier. It has a spring loaded handle that is lockable . It also comes with a life time warranty.

Very sharp, not ideal for people with small hands

These pruners are extremely sharp and were able to clip through small branches very easily. One handle rotates - the handles start out wide and come closer as the handles are squeezed, but I wasn't really sure of the purpose of the rotation. Maybe it's to provide more leverage? When the handles are extended out (blades open), my hands are almost too small to grip them and I need two hands to get started. For reference, I'm a female who wears size small or medium gloves. As the handles rotate tog...

Hand Pruner

This tool is good for small branches and trimming of soft plant material, it doesn't seem to have the feel of a great tool, just an average run of the mill pruner.

Great trimmer

I used this to trim my Bougainville out in my front yard. Generally have trouble cutting through the thick branches but it was absolutely no problem with these pruners. It cuts my work time in half. It also has a safety on it to keep the blade closed. Definitely recommending this to all my friends.

Very neat rolling handle ,comfortable!

I really like these pruners. At first I was worried that they might be too large for my small hands. But these are designed with a rolling lower handle. It made it so much easier to close and cut through branches with one hand. It really seemed to be more powerful with cutting. I pruned a few branches about 3/4” and smaller on a tree and some shrubs. They kept sharp, felt smooth with cutting and I had no hand fatigue. I was surprised with that part. I will definitely use these often with my ...

Nice but hard to use

The looks and concept of these clippers are nice. Here's the but, with the twisting handle and my small hands it's really hard to control. It opens pretty wide and if you look at the pictures my fingers don't grasp it very well. Very sturdy, nicely made.

Great pruners!!

These are nice solid pruners with one rolling handle, which helps reduce strain on your hand when cutting. The lock is strong and keeps the blades closed when engaged. The blades are strong, and I was able to cut 3/8 inch branch with no problem. All in all a strong cutting power in a small and easy to use pruner.

Cut very nice

These cut limbs and roots with ease. Ultra sharp is an understatement. They go through the limbs like hot butter. The gear design took a moment to get used to though. The bottom handle rolls as you cut or open the cutters. If the branch fits it will cut it. I have oak and maples that I tried them on. These will get a good workout this fall trimming items around the yard.

Very Durable Tool

I have a few dull clippers, so this was a must to add to the gardening tools. We have bushes around our home and decks that need constant trimming/pruning… and these made a nice clean cut at each snip.

Very powerful

The fiskars ultra sharp bypass pruner is a really great tool, very sharp and really powerful, I cut a 3/4” branch with ease, they feel good in your hands and they actually roll together instead of just pulling up like most pruners, they have a lock system on top to keep them together for safety and they work really great, easy clean up and easy to care for, highly recommend them

A professional-grade tool!

This pruner will easily replace the two-hands required pruner you have. The handle mechanism is a little difficult to explain. The bottom lever angles out at 90 degrees when opened and realigns when you squeeze the handle. What I realized is that this design provides more torque without requiring more effort from your hand. When you prune a thicker branch, it still feels like you’re just cutting through straw. Please don’t test the blade sharpness by rubbing your thumb over it. If you do, you’ll...

Very sharp.

Very sharp pruner. Used it to trim small branches from a tree. Fits my hand and I have small hands. Didnt have to use alot of pressure to cut. Would recommend it .
