These pruners are easy to grip and cut through many branches and roots. I use them for everything in my yard.
OK...I have a green thumb, but I'm not always smart. After finding my favorite Fiskars outside after a rainstorm (mmmm....maybe several rainstorms), I noticed they were rusted and not working properly. I sent them back to the company with a letter explaining, honestly, that the problem was caused by me. They sent me a new pair - no questions asked. How often does that happen nowadays? I will always purchase Fiskars products whenever I have the opportunity.
these are great little garden pruners. they are wonderful @ doing the fine tuning on my highbush blueberries. they dont have a huge bite, and that is why i am only giving them four stars. the grip is comfortable to use w/ me small hands. they slide through the toughest of materials and they keep a good sharp edge like all other friskar products i have used. i definitely recommend these for gardening purposes.
