One of the three pieces broke the first time I used it- it snapped in two as soon as I put it in the soil. I’m sure the others will do the same- these were not built to last.

I bought these because they would fit in the Fiskars Garden Bucket Caddy that I ordered at the same time. I was kind of leery at first because the handles looked large. A lot of the garden tools you find these days, especially the ones with soft handles, have such large handles that they are practically unusable for women like me with small hands. I have only had them for a few days, but they seem well made and durable.

I would recommend them to anyone, but especially to people with small hands.

Cast aluminum garden tools are the way to go…bought my first in 1975, coated the handles in plastic dip and until stolen early this year, they were as good as new. Amazon made me an offer I could not refuse and this set has the perfect tools with nice grips. Bought two sets for my retirement (huge) garden.

Good quality value cultivator. My garden has never looked so good! Bought this thinking I may not really need it, but it has saved me time in the garden with this strong durable tool.

Review date : 2007-06-26
I love Fiskars products. They are all such high quality. This product is no different. I have not seen this product, or any product with such thick tines at any Home Improvement store.

I had been looking for this type of a product for when I am working on my knees in the garden to move dirt around.

You won’t be disappointed.

these little nippers get into place big shears can’t! They’re great for deadheading or topping off plants so you get bushier growth. i bought my last pair about 10 years ago and they’re still doing remarkably well for their age.

Review date : 2008-08-03
This is just the right size for dead-heading flowers and pruning small diameter branches. I use it all the time

Review date : 2008-06-27
This is perfect for deadheading roses and other spent blossoms. Generally easy to use, but the locking mechanism can be annoying, especially with gloves on.

When I’ve had a garden in the past, my Gerber Daisies and Geraniums did not bloom as much as other people’s did. I believed that it was a function of better soil, light, food, etc. I now know that it was because I did not trim the spent flowers aggressively. I found that my regular pruning shears tended to take off more than 1 stem. When I tried to pull out the dead blooms, I would often take up more than the dead flower unless the stem was dry & brown; I often found myself pulling up the whole plant especially on my younger plants. I now take my micro-tip pruning snippers with me whenever I check out my flower beds. It fits easily in my pocket, and I can just snip any dead blooms I see. My geraniums are flourishing. People comment on them whenever they pass by, and they can’t believe that the plants are only about 2 months old. It didn’t take long for me to lose the little cover that came with it, but I don’t really miss it because, as an avid gardener who enjoys beautiful plants, I tend to take good care of my pruning tools.

They fit easily among the branches of lush plants so that I can snip only the leaves I’m aiming for and leave all of the others. I’ve been using them about 5 months and love them more every day. I limit their use to delicate plants to preserve the sharp edge and therefore limit the trauma to my plants as long as possible. I use the Fiskars Power-Lever Bypass Pruner #9634 for my roses and shrubbery and the Fiskars 18-Inch PowerGear Bypass Lopper #9625 for small tree branches.

I use a lot of Fiskars gardening tools and these are the best small pruners I have found. My last pair lasted over 3 years.
