Fiskars Anvil Pruner, 5/8-Inch Cut Capacity Branch Cutter with Power-Lever Technology That Provides More Cutting Power, Best for Dry, Dead Stems and Small Branches

These anvil pruners work well and are well made, easy to use, durable, have a comfortable grip and are easy to clean and care for. They cut well the first time and stay sharp. They are not heavy, making them easy to use without causing hand fatigue, helping to get the job done faster!

best pruners I"ve used, they are heavy, comfortable, the lock is easy to operate, and they last forever. I've had my last pair with is identical to this one for 20 years, and have used them alot and even left them laying out in the weather alot cause that's the kind of gardener I am, oops! I just ordered 2 of these, and I love them.

Reasonable robust enough for fairly thick branches, not enough power for most over 1/2 inches. Depends upon age and species of wood. I had an older type anvil cutter that was more powerful, it broke after 50 years. This was a reasonable replacement.

I recently purchased these Fiskars Power-Lever pruners from Amazon. I use them mostly for cutting the tree limbs up to 3/4 inches in width of a bunch of dying pine trees that I have. Some of the branches are hard as a rock dead ones and some are softer live ones. They work well on both. They perform equally well on regular lighter duty pruning such as bushes and roses.I have been using this design for over 30 years and despite some of the reviews you may have read here, they are as well made as ever. This is my 3rd pair and they have literally lasted 10 years even under my demanding use.I've tried others which are generally more expensive with different designs but I have always been disappointed either with their uncomfortable design or lack of leverage. I've finally quit looking and just buy these when they go on sale.Likes:Comfortable design in your hand. Cushioned grips and very importantly, great leverage and a sharp long lasting blade. And by the way, did you see they have a lifetime guarantee? I actually used it once when one of the pairs I had developed a problem (really due to my hard use). It was an online submission and they simply requested a picture. Ten days later, a new pair!And last but not least the price, very economical for the quality and how long they last.Dislikes:Really only one. Sometimes the locking lever flips up and locks during use. You just have to push it back down with your thumb as you are using them and continue on. Not a deal breaker by any means.NOT a dislike but just use a little WD-40 on them now and then and they will continue to perform like new.Conclusion:Watch Amazon for a low price and buy it! You won't be disappointed.

I've used this brand of pruners for years. The handle is comfortable and the locking clip is easy to reach with your thumb. They stay sharp for a long time and take well to sharpening when needed. Good product and good value.

Doesn’t work like my old one did that looks just like it. It doesn’t have the groove for the blade on the opposing cutting side. Works OK for dry limbs, but not so much for plants.

Purchased to replace the same item that my spouse had appropriated. Excellent for hand-pruning and clipping heavier stalked flowers.
