Fiskars 9634 Power-Lever Bypass Pruner Review

Fiskars 9634 Power-Lever Bypass Pruner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pruning is a snap with these pruners by Fiskar. I lost a lot of my gripping power in my pruning hand due to an injury and I have no trouble using these pruners. For larger limbs reaching the cutting capacity of this pruner, I simply begin the cut and rock the cutters as I squeeze, I also like the way they fit my small hand which is not to say that large hands would not be comfortable too. I love these pruners so much that when I lost my first pair, I did not hesitate to replace them with another.

The Fiskars PowerLever bypass pruner features Fiskars' patented PowerLever technology, which increases cutting power by 35 percent. The slim, but strong tool will fit nicely into an apron or pants pocket when not in use, and can easily cut branches up to 3/4-inches in diameter. It sports an ideal blade length for precision cutting and maneuvering through dense growth, aEuropean grip design that's sized for both small and medium hands, and a handle design that allows for both left and right-handed use. The blade includes a locking mechanism that helps prevent accidents as well as provides for easy transportation. Additionally, the bypass pruner allows for precise, clean cuts as the hook contacts only one side of the cut, causing less plant damage.

Fiskars 9365 PowerTooth 10-Inch Sliding Saw Review

This is the best folding pruning saw I've used. The teeth cut on both strokes, so it cuts very fast. It's much better on green wood, not so fast cutting on dry seasoned limbs. When collapsed, is very compact (and safe).

Fiskars 9258 10-Inch Power Tooth Sliding Pruning Saw with Carabiner Clip Review

Fiskars 9258 10-Inch Power Tooth Sliding Pruning Saw with Carabiner Clip
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My Fiskars 9258 10-inch Power Tooth Pruning Saw is working well for clearing small, downed trees across my woodland trails. It's lightweight and the blade is quick to deploy. The very sharp teeth quickly cut through logs up to 4 inches in diameter. The carabiner clip doesn't work for me as I'm usually wearing a large backpack with a wide waist belt and I travel through dense brush and forest. If I were using this saw in the garden, it might be handy to clip it into my belt loop. The one thing that would have made me like this saw even better is if the handle were in a bright color - orange or red. Black blends in with the forest floor. I have to be careful to note the location when I lay down the saw. I am going to put a band of red duct tape somewhere on the handle.

Fiskars 9653 Post Hole Digger Review

Fiskars 9653 Post Hole Digger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am presently using three post hole diggers for a large deck project. This is a useful tool but don't throw out the cheapo wooden handled digger. For the shallower dirt I use the wooden handled tool mainly because it is lighter which I think is the most important consideration. You expend most of your energy pulling the tool out of the hole and if it is heavy, you'll wear out quick. None of the tools pull out more than a few handfuls at a time. The narrow blade of the Fiskar is great for shaving the sides of the hole and creating ledges. The hinges however are further from the cutting edges causing them to come together more parallel; because of this, loose loads tend to slip from the jaws more as you are pulling it out.

The Fiskars post hole digger features a unique handle profile that prevents you from banging your knuckles together when digging holes. The offset handles allow you to dig a full foot deeper than standard post hole diggers (up to 4-feet deep), while its all-steel construction lets you tackle the tough jobs. Pre-sharpened to cut through the ground easier, the unit's blades are welded directly to the shaft for additional strength, and the entire tool is powder-coated to prevent rust.

Fiskars Green Thumb Tree Pruner (93936993) POLE NOT INCLUDED Review

Fiskars Green Thumb Tree Pruner (93936993) POLE NOT INCLUDED
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently picked up this item at my local hardware store, and found it extremely lightweight. The Fiskers pruning blade is very SHARP. Extending the pole to its max did not stress the fiberglass pole one bit. But like a fiberglass fishing pole, it did create some BOUNCing action while sawing. None the less, the job got done! Suggestion, after you are done pruning, give it a spray with Pam Cooking Spray then store. I also found the branch shears very useful for those limbs less than 1" in diameter. One pull on the rope cut these little guys with ease. However I would want the rope attached to the shears a little shorter.

Fiskars 9394 12-Foot Extendable Pruning Saw Review

Fiskars 9394 12-Foot Extendable Pruning Saw
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I replaced my Home Depot pole saw/pruner with this Fiskars model. What a difference some thoughtful engineering makes.
(1) Pole Does Not Bend: The pole does not bend even when extended to full length. Nothing is more frustrating than having the pole bend and bounce out of the cut when it is fully extended.
(2) Locking Mechanism: On the HD pole saw the extension is "locked" with a compression collar. This design does not work well when it gets wet and loses its gripping power over time. The most powerful cut is the down stroke and on my HD brand saw when the collar slipped the pole simply came apart. On the Fiskars the lever-clamp clicks into the locked position and the clamping power can be adjusted with a screwdriver. The pole never came apart during use.
Save your time and a return trip to HD with this extremely well made pole saw!

Fiskars 9301 Power-Lever 14-Foot Tree Pruner Review

Fiskars 9301 Power-Lever 14-Foot Tree Pruner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I went looking for a pole saw because branches were rubbing on my roof and hitting my gutters. I found a few at a local hardware store, which the salesperson described as hard to use, then he tried to steer me toward buying either an electric or gas-powered pole-mounted chainsaw. I don't trim trees often, so I wanted to avoid the expense of and maintenance on a chainsaw. However, the manual pole saws they carried were all a brand I had never heard of, heavier than I wanted, and priced comparably with this Fiskars, so I decided to buy it from Amazon. I was pleased that this saw was significantly lighter, and that the replaceable Woodzig blade is an aggressive cutter -- it doesn't require a lot of weight on the blade, although I found a rapid jab-tug worked best to keep branches from swaying back and forth. I also debated buying the model that's just a saw, but having the pruner for smaller branches (which aren't stiff enough to saw efficiently) is well worth the extra money and weight. I haven't used this tool long enough to speak definitively about how the extension lock holds up over time, but I found it easy to use and it did not slip. This tool was much easier to use than expected, and I have no doubts that the decision to order this model rather than what the local store stocked was a good one.
I also want to make an observation based on other pole saw reviews I've read. I've read complaints about blades binding and how dangerous falling branches are, leading me to suspect that people were sawing on branches directly above them. That's not how you should use a pole saw; you should extend it so that you're standing off to the side and cut on the top of branches rather than their side. This technique results in the weight of the branch opening your cut rather than pinching the blade, and when the branch falls you aren't underneath it.

I liked the idea of this saw but the execution wasn't so great. it is a quality saw and felt very sturdy but the blade was to short for me and the locking screw tightened up when I was sawing and I had to use pliers to undo it. I ended up returning it and getting a folding design.

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik Review

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This pole pruner performs excellently.
I found the following features to be especially useful:
- rotating head, allows easy cuts of branches at different angles.
- no additional rope to pull, makes for easy cutting and handling.
- saw blade is sharp and it also allows user to change the angle of the blade so that you can saw more efficiently.
Features I wish it had:
- the ability to cut more than its 1 & 1/4-inch cutting capacity.
- when using the saw blade, the FULLY extended handle flexes a bit more than I prefer.
Overall this telescopeing pole pruner is excellent.
I have been using mine regularly to prune trees for over a year and it still cuts as sharply as it did on the first day.
By the way, some reviewers mentioned that the packaging was poor and they got a damaged product, they must have ordered it early before the new packaging was incorporated. My Pruning Stik arrived in good condition, it had a thick supporting cardboard piece to ensure the long box did not bend.

This pruning stick is the best thing to come along in a long time. I had been trying to figure out how to prune our big Rhododendron bush without ruining its shape, but no matter how I tried, I just couldn't get at the top. This stick allows selective pruning while on a ladder or from the ground. It is lightweight and comfortable to handle. Definitely well worth the price.

The Fiskars pruning stik is a lightweight, multipurpose pruning tool with the ability to trim tree branches up to 12-feet tall without needing a ladder. The pruning stik features Fiskars' PowerStroke sliding-grip cutting action that lets you prune by simply sliding the plastic grip (or pulling the orange ball end), which engages a chain and spring that snaps the blades closed. In addition, the cutting head rotates 240 degrees to give the user the best pruning angle. The replaceable Xylan-coated blade is ultra-hardened to stay sharp all-season long, and it offers a cutting capacity of 1-1/4 inches. Weighing less than 2 pounds, the aluminum handles are durable and light, and their length allows you to reach high branches, and remove growth at ground level while standing. The pruning tool comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
