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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Reasonably priced pruning shears

A couple of these pruning shears that I have are good for cutting deadwood or live wood 2 or 3 times the diameter. Toothpick to about 3/8" to 1/2". My pair did not completely cut the thin green shoots that grow in abundance on trees or grow through the ground in my garden, only partially and awkwardly recurving. I've found that retracting the handles while holding the thin green shoots still helps the secateurs cut more accurately, but doing so adds a flaw to the experience of using them in my opinion. As an added feature for future models, I would suggest lengthening the plastic at the end of each handle a bit and making a small hole in it for the user to run a rope to form a loop to hang from when not used, or thrown over the handle of a wheelbarrow when being transported from camp to work.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • I don't like anything about it, everything is fine
