Know before you buy
These pruners are designed for a cutting capacity of up to 1/2 inch in diameter. They are best suited for light pruning, such as trimming green stems, twigs, and small branches.
No, these are specifically designed for light pruning of green, living stems. For thicker, dead, or woody branches, you would be better served by an anvil-style pruner or a lopper.
The pruner features an easy-to-operate locking mechanism that keeps the blades securely closed when not in use. This ensures safe storage and prevents accidental opening in your tool bag.
The blades are made from durable stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion. However, to maintain the sharpness and longevity of the tool, it is best practice to clean and store them in a dry place after use.
Fiskars offers a lifetime warranty on this product, which covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It provides peace of mind that the tool is built to last for years of regular garden maintenance.
