Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears, 5/8-Inch Cut Capacity Garden Clippers, Gardening Scissors with Sharp, Rust Resistant Steel Blade

I bought these Fiskars bypass pruning shears after my off-brand garden clippers snapped after just one use, and the difference is huge. These feel sturdy, solid, and comfortable in the hand, even after a good amount of trimming. I usually cut wilted hydrangea blooms toward the end of the fall season to prep for next year’s flowers, and this made the whole job so much easier. The blades are sharp and cut through stems and smaller branches cleanly with very little effort, which I really appreciate when I am squeezing yard work in between kid activities. No crushing, no tearing, just neat cuts. For the quality and how well they perform, this feels worth every penny and like a tool that will last more than just one season.

I absolutely love these pruning shears! They cut cleanly and effortlessly, even through thicker stems, and the blades stay sharp much longer than I expected. The grip makes them super comfortable to use, even during longer yard-work sessions. I also appreciate the easy locking mechanism for safe storage. If you want a reliable, durable pair of pruning shears that make gardening feel easier and more enjoyable, Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears are a perfect choice!

These are Fantastic! I have a huge indoor trees and without these I’d be completely lost. They are sharp they cut great and saved my one tree. It needed to be trimmed well.

First off, I want to say I'd give it a solid "5" star rating if it didn't sometimes have difficulty springing back open. Other than that, I love this thing. It has very smooth and precise action. It is lightweight, strong, comfortable to use, and easily cuts twigs up to 3/8" with a simple squeeze. It is great for trimming back various "intruders" that come though my chain link fence from the neighbor's yard, and takes no prisoners when it comes to honeysuckle vines-- I can gather them like rope and cut large amounts at one time. And, it fits nicely in my overalls' side pocket. A quality tool, indeed.

I’ve been using the Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears for a few weeks now, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. The blades are extremely sharp and make clean, precise cuts through branches and stems without crushing them. I’ve used them on roses, shrubs, and small tree branches, and they handle everything with ease. What really stands out is how comfortable and well-balanced they are. The grip feels secure, even during longer pruning sessions, and my hand doesn’t get tired or sore. The bypass design is perfect for live plants, leaving clean cuts that help plants heal faster. They also feel durable and well-made, not flimsy like cheaper pruners. The locking mechanism works smoothly and keeps the blades safely closed when not in use. Overall, these are high-quality pruning shears at a great price. If you’re a homeowner, gardener, or anyone who does regular yard work, these are a must-have. I’d absolutely buy them again and highly recommend them

These are great shears. They stay pretty sharp even after many uses. They have not rusted and they work great with my hands ergonomically. They are very durable so far.

My hydrangea bush is my pride and joy. I bought my second pair of Fiskars in order to properly trim it. They last the longest, they are sturdy, they always make a clean and sharp cut. The size is just perfect for me, as well. Just a great shear all the way around.

I already own a pair of Fiskars PowerArc scissors that have performed consistently well for me throughout the years so when my pruners broke I decided to try the brand. I bought this pair simply because as it turns out, they were the #1 best seller and the price. I couldn’t be happier! I’ve been using them for a few weeks now and have been cutting through a variety of woody, and non-woody stems measuring maybe an 1 inch or less diameter with ease: small/underdeveloped tree branches (elm, bougainvillea & crape myrtle), vines (smilax/greenbriar/wisteria/morning glory) and any other undesirable growths that have sprung up. I have small hands and weak wrists so I appreciate the light weight and not having to apply a great amount of force when cutting. Other things I like: 1. The blades are super sharp and the handles are comfortable enough for better maneuverability when working in hard-to-reach or tight spots. 2. The cuts have all been consistently clean & sharp so less chance of disease from a torn/shredded/ragged improper cut and better chances of a faster healing time. 3. There is better edge retention with high quality steel blades so it requires less frequency to sharpen your blades and less chance of working with dull blades during the season. Granted, it’s based on volume but I hope to sharpen only once during a season. I admit it. I hate sharpening blades and that makes me guilty of using a dull blade longer than I should. Time will tell on this pair. 4. The locking mechanism works as it should and is bright orange which makes it easy to see, store & operate. 5. Nice touch having the self-cleaning sap groove that in addition to stopping the blades from sticking, will aid in the prevention of bacteria transmission from plant to plant. 6. Coil/spring failure has been my biggest issue with pruners in the past. - They rust, spring out, lock in place, don’t have pressure etc. They are a fix and repair daily while pruning project. They have turned a simple task into one of the most frustrating projects on the planet. The Fiskars has no visible coils or springs, they’re housed inside the unit and function smoothly like shock absorbers on a car. So far, working without malfunctions has allowed me to develop a rhythm and get more accomplished without straining my wrist. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the performance, quality, and price. Getting rid of all the other pairs. I also noticed that these are the only pruners I have with their name etched on it. Definitely 5 stars!!! -P.S. These come with a lifetime guarantee.
