Fiskars 9634 Power-Lever Bypass Pruner Review

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.

Corona Clipper RS 7120 13-Inch Razor Tooth Curved Pruning Saw with Cushion Grip Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a few of these and I really put them to the test.
I also have other, larger pruning saws, but these small saws are very handy.
When properly cared for (oiled to prevent rust, sap/pitch removed) they last for a long time.
I can cut through a 6" Oak branch with one of these in minutes. Keep it sharp, develop the arm/shoulder strength and coordination, and you will be surprised-perhaps amazed-at what you can do with this implement.
My experiences and perspectives seem to be rather different than the previous poster. I disagree in regards to the blade shape, thickness, and coarseness.
SHAPE
The curved blade is, in my opinion, a good design. I also have saws from Fanno (another maker of quality pruning eqpt.) and they are all curved. In fact, all my common pruning saws, from 13-24" have curved blades.
I have a large timber saw (think 3'long 1man version of the traditional 6' two man "misery whip") and a folding saw with straight blades, but these are the minority. The short, straight saw is very useful when pruning the unwanted branch or trunk from a "Y" or double trunk, but that is about all I use it for. The timber saw is used much like a bucksaw and the straight blade is fine for that purpose.
The curved blade serves two purposes. 1 It helps you maintain a straight line around the branch. I am sometimes in an awkward position, straining, and/or exerting strenuously when pruning. The curved blade wraps, to some extent, around the blade and helps maintain a straight cutting line.
A straight cut isn't terribly important when making the initial cuts on a large branch (1st cut removes weight from branch), but is very important for the final cut. The final pruning cut should be straight and consistent-just outside the branch collar.
2. It grabs the branch on the pull stroke and helps cut more effectively. With a straight blade, the saw would, to an extent, ride on the branch. With the curvature, the blade digs in.
My long pole saw also has a curved blade. I rely on the curved blade particularly with a pole saw-it greatly increases the effectiveness. The curved tip also helps me grab onto a branch to dislodge it if it falls into a crotch or other difficult location. I can't envision doing all my pruning with straight blades.
THICKNESS
I don't find the blade to be too thick. A pruning saw is subjected to much rougher treatment than a woodworking saw. While a thinner blade would cut faster, it would also be prone to damage. I keep my saws very sharp and they cut well. I don't recall ever thinking; "Hmmm, if this blade were thinner I would be through this branch already..." More like; "I enjoy using this saw, it is an extension of my body and has never failed me..."
COARSENESS (# teeth per inch)
The number of teeth per inch are also suitable. Yes, a crosscut saw for woodworking would have fewer teeth per inch. Woodworking pieces need finer edges for appearance, joinery, etc. That isn't a concern with pruning. As long as one doesn't tear out a large piece of bark, all is well. I also think that the wet, pulpy nature of living wood would clog a finer pattern.
It feels very good to cut branches with hand tools-chainsaws are noisy, foul-smelling beasts.
I also use this saw for rough cutting of 2x4 and 2x6 lumber.

Corona Clipper TP 6850 14-Foot Compound Action 1-1/4-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the 3rd or fourth tree pruner I've owned, and I'd never get any other. I have previously used and wore out a gas-powered and an electric drive chain pruner. This Corona is batter than all of them.
The extra length of the pole is critical. With this pruner I can reach all the tree limbs I used to get from standing at the top of a ladder and then using a pole pruner.
The blade is incredibly sharp. It cuts straight through branches that my power pruners used to wheeze and struggle with. Using this Corona is also faster than any other pruner I've had. I think that's also a result of the sharpness.
The chain pull-mechanism (as opposed to a rope and pulley) works beautifully. I expect that's another component in why this is easier and faster to use. Once in a while, the chain loops around itself and jams, but that's rare, and is probably a result of the way I manipulate the pruner around branches.
I am a VERY heavy and high volume user of pruners. I wear them out, or they fall apart, or their motors burn out. But not this one! There's no sign of wear and tear. I recommend this tool to anyone who is serious about trimming and pruning their own trees.

Fiskars 9240 Telescoping Pruning Stik Review

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.

Fiskars 9234 62-Inch Pruning Stik Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
