Produced by a leader in the garden tools market, the Fiskars PowerGear bypass pruner is perfect for precise clean cutting of green growth. The pruner features Fiskars's trademarked PowerGear design, which maximizes leverage for more pruning power for your effort. As you clasp the pruner, the outside handle actually rotates with the gears, an ingenious design that minimizes strain and fatigue while providing impressive results. The replaceable ultrahardened steel blade is designed to stay sharp longer than leading blades, and the handles are made of reinforced nylon engineered for strength and lightness. Fiskars PowerGear tools have been awarded the Arthritis Foundation's ease-of-use commendation. Designed with comfort in mind, the tool fits perfectly in the hand. With its 3/4-inch cutting capacity, this is definitely a professional quality pruner, but even weekend gardeners can benefit from its fantastic design. Lifetime warranty.

 Best Pruner on your Hands May 4, 2000

If you have sore or tender hands, or a LOT of pruning to do, this is a great tool. No blisters and a lot less hand cramps with large jobs or long hours. I was surprised it really made that much difference.
So far, so good July 25, 2003

We just bought our first house, and along with it a few trees, a lot of shrubs, and a couple dozen rosebushes, so I needed something good and easy-to-use. After sampling the options in the local hardware store, I decided these were the most comfortable, easiest to use, and seemingly best mechanism of the bunch. I've only been working with them for a month, but they're performing well so far.The hold-closed latch is easy and well-placed (though it is easy to pop it unlatched if you stuff the clippers in your back pocket), the grip width is adjustable with a set screw (so small hands don't have to suffer), and the blade spread is admirable for a hand-held pruner (though adjusting the grip width does take a little off the blade spread too). The spring and other critical mechanical components are well shielded, so you won't be gumming them up with debris easily. It cuts through the rose pruning like butter and even gets through thick woody dead stuff with only a little effort. The rotating handle makes a huge difference in the comfort level, especially when cutting the the thick woody stuff. They say buy the best you can afford, and these certainly seemed like the best option to me, and they weren't even that expensive. Certainly better to buy one pair of good pruners instead of three bad ones.
Awesome pruners! August 13, 2002

These pruners are better than any other hand pruners I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of them. This tool has a smooth action and easily cuts every piece of shrubbery that I've asked it to prune!
These are so cool December 22, 2002

Having exhausted yet another pair of pruners (on my 35 roses and assorted bushes) I decided to go for ones with the Friskar's name. In a word "Wow".Not only do these clippers have the precise cutting surface and accuracy I'm used to for my Friskar's cutting implements in the house, but they have an ingenious grip as well. Until you have felt the way these handles work, you cannot believe how comfortable clipping can be. Normally, you slide your hand over the handle to close the clippers. However, these clippers slide along with the natural rotation of your hand. This translates to no blisters. If you do alot of clipping this can be a major relief. I've used these pruners for a year now, in both pruning bushes and roses and they have not twisted or jammed, nor has the lock gummed up. I love the way the handle feels when clipping and am very pleased with the precise cutting action.
Big bang for your buck! June 8, 2002

My husband & I do the yardwork at his mother's house. She has close to an acre loaded with huge camelia bushes, trees, etc. It takes a huge toll on the average pruners. After some research, I purchased one pair of these. What a wonderful, strong, sharp pruner! It cuts through branches like they are butter! These are far superior to all the other pruners I have EVER used. So easy to use, plus they are adjustable to the spread of your hand, which is a particularly convenient feature. I like these so much that I purchased another one, so that we both have a pruner to use at the same time...and, believe me, I have never, ever done that before. Our neighbors borrowed ours to cut back big branches, and liked them so much that THEY purchased these pruners, too! I cannot say enough good things about the Fiskars 79366935 PowerGear Pruner. You definitely won't be disappointed. Fiskars has a winner with this item.
