Review on 🌿 Fiskars 79436997J Softgrip Bypass Pruner - Black/Orange with Enhanced Efficiency by Jeremy Gulledge

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very light use made them dull in no time. Do it better Fiskars!

I received this in mid-May. I have not used them on anything larger than 3/8 and have not used any hardwood at all. Hell, if they aren't already blunt enough to leave the last bit of bark uncut. It's crazy. So, yes, I get out my flat file and sharpen the blade, but given that the factory edge hasn't lasted more than a few days of very light work, I think I should leave the file where it's easy to find. Fiskars is not the same anymore. I knew that this clipper wasn't the best in the line not only because of the price, but also because of the clipper, which while short-lived. Good luck having them direct with you and guaranteed. It doesn't matter what the warranty claims if you can't get the company to do anything more than play a shell game with you. However, they fit my hand well and cut long before they stopped. I will spend more on another brand in the future. It's a shame because it's been my brand for so many years.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
