Pruning Snips

Can't go wrong with Fiskars. Quality is good. Great for picking peppers and herbs.

Should have purchased a long time ago. It's that pruning scissors you didn't know you would use as much you do. Use them for gardening vegatables and for flowers. Great value for the money. Excellent precision and grip. The sturdiness get a 5 star rating. Fits comfortable in my hand with no issues. Great value for the money.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these clippers!! I have never gotten crazy over a review before but I like these seemingly little nothings of a clipper are just so easy to use, so sharp and so versatile; so much that I would give them 10 stars if I could. I have 2 pair and my husband now wants one. I keep one pair with the obvious, my gardening tools, where they are so useful for trimming spent flowers and dead leaves. They are small and compact; the short blades make it easy to reach a specific stem. I keep my second pair in the kitchen where these clippers have come in handy for numerous jobs from cutting and chopping fresh basil to, opening packages, trimming loose threads, trimming houseplants and removing tags from new garments. As you can see these small, sharp, easy to hold and use clippers are a very useful item to have whether for the garden, kitchen or sewing box. I am considering buying a third pair for my sewing machine gear.

Good quality, sharp and works great.

Feels good in the hand, and is larger (5-10%?) in all dimensions than the comparable Fiskars trimmer, which costs about 2x this price. The blades bear against each other perfectly, and, on testing, I find I can even cut the thinnest piece of tissue paper with them, as a test of the blades' nesting together. If this matching or proximity of the blades should change, it's easy to tighten the Philips-head screw at the fulcrum of the tool. Handles are inlaid with non-slip rubber, a nice feature in case there's perspiration or precipitation when you're working. A great tool! Hats off, VivoSun!, and thanks. A minor quibble: I've become used to the action of the Fiskars. The VivoSun has a spring that's a bit stronger than Fiskars' spring. I'll either get "used to" this higher (greater) restoring-force that impels the blades apart, or I'll change the spring tension: How can I do that? Well, it's easy to remove the spring, and if I heat it in a gas flame on the stove, holding it with kitchen tongs or a pliers, and let it cool s-l-o-w-l-y, the tension of the hard spring may soften (this is "annealing"). IF I overdo the softening, I can heat it cherry-red again and plunge it into water to re-harden it. Simple. No hurry! Maybe I'll just get used to this stronger spring, and maybe it will also become a little weaker in force as I use it over months and years (yes, the construction of this trimmer is up to lasting years and decades, I'd say). The lock is very positive and easy to employ. Kudos! Again, a great tool, and it's a bargain. I'll use this on tomatoes, and other garden plants, for pruning and trimming of tender stems, and leaves. --Joe / Tucson AZ / USA UPDATE: May 29. 2021 >>>----> I've annealed (softened) the spring in the way I mention above, and it's just right now to my way of feeling and working. Another reviewer mentioned that he "shortened" the spring to reduce its tension, but, no need to cut it if you do the simple annealing of its hardness as I've outlined. Thus far, I've pruned six or seven cherry-tomato plants, and, oh yes, some of the larger fan-leaves from other plants that are now about 4 weeks into flowering. Excellent action of the pruner, and they are extremely precise. (BTW, laughable account by the reviewer who claims the stainless metal blades dissolved in isopropyl alcohol! Had a good chuckle... ). --JLM p.s. To protect the sharp ends and straightness of the precision-ground blade tips, I use a half of a wine-cork as a protector (you could trim the cork down further to make it more compact). This saves pockets from being punctured and perforated, too. ;-) I'll include a photo of the cork in place on the pruner tips, here with this edit. "Safety First!" A nice alternative to a cork would be to dip the tips into a can of the liquid "tool-handle" dip coating, like the "Plasti-Dip" which Amazon sells, and let that deposit harden-up until it's cured in a few hours (the Fiskars trimmer comes with a tip-protector like that). Best wishes trimming. -J.

Good sharp trimmers for my garden

In a world where overgrown roses threatened to overtake the garden, the hero emerged: the Fiskars Micro-Tip Rose Pruning Shears. With a gleaming blade and an ergonomic design, these shears were no ordinary gardening tool; they were a weapon forged for the epic battle against unruly foliage. As dawn broke, casting golden rays over the verdant landscape, I prepared for the daunting task ahead. Towering sunflowers stood proudly, their heads turning like sentinels, while hummingbirds darted from a trumpet vine to a salvia bush, curious spectators of my every move. The rose bushes stood tall beside them, a riot of color and thorns, their beauty matched only by their ferocity. Armed with the Fiskars shears, I ventured into the heart of the floral fray, ready to restore order to my garden realm. With a swift motion, the shears flashed bright, Slicing through chaos, turning wrongs to right. Each thorny branch met its swift demise, As I danced through the garden, a warrior wise. Steel met stem with a whispering grace, Cutting through tangles, leaving no trace. A symphony of snips, a battle so sweet, As petals and leaves fell, retreating in defeat. “Victory is mine!” I proclaimed with each snip, My confidence soaring on this daring trip. The ergonomic handle fit snug in my hand, Guiding my quest through this overgrown land. As the afternoon sun bathed the yard in warmth, the transformation was undeniable. The once-wild roses stood proud and neatly trimmed, ready to burst forth in radiant blooms. The sunflowers, now basking in full sunlight, seemed to nod in approval, their bright yellow petals shining like golden beacons. Nearby, a wise old owl perched on a low branch, observing the scene with bemusement, as if judging my pruning prowess. With the last branch severed, I surveyed my handiwork. The garden, once chaotic, now resembled a serene oasis—a triumph over the wild. The Fiskars Micro-Tip Rose Pruning Shears had become my trusted companion, a vital ally in this botanical adventure. In the grand tapestry of gardening, these shears emerged as heroes. For anyone seeking to wield their pruning prowess and tame unruly plants, the Fiskars Micro-Tip Rose Pruning Shears are indispensable. They turned an ordinary task into an extraordinary quest, leaving behind a legacy of beauty and resilience in the garden.

I got these for my wife, but I have pair that’s about 13 years old Andy they’re as good as whenever i bought them. These are good for pruning soft-tissue plants but nothing much thicker branchwise. (On a side note, I’ve got a small pair of fiskars scissors that I used to use for delicate snipping of paper. These days i use themselves for trimming my beard and other lightweight office stuff. My point is that Fiskars does cutting blades well, but I’m not a fan of their larger garden tools.)

The original product is from Finland. The one that was shipped to me was made in China, the quality is comparable to the original by the looks of it. Have not used it extensively ... will review again when I have used it for a year.

Bought this on white Friday as it was on sale. Wonderful experience so far. I am hoping the Teflon won’t rust. Let’s see.

Le produit ou le vendeur ? L'un comme l'autre ne valent pas plus d'une étoile. Parce que lorsque l'on achète à 27€ un Fiskars, c'est que l'on sait que ce petit sécateur qui ne doit servir qu'à couper les queues des fleurs est censé tenir dans le temps. Quelques mois après, ils coupent mal, déchicte plus qu'autre chose, a perdu son "cran de sécurité" (un bout de plastique qui doit tenir fermé le sécateur par le milieu) qui s'est cassé comme une allumette. Bref, hyper décevant. C'est pas grave, ça arrive des défectueux, demandons au vendeur dont la responsabilité commerciale en France lui incombe, de faire jouer la garantie : rien ! C'est pas son problème ! A l'acheteur de voir avec le fabricant. Belle relation de confiance... Pour ces motifs, je ne conseille donc ni le produit, ni le vendeur.

Esta cara para lo que es

Sharp and very useful
