Small Handles
I was so looking forward to using these pruners. How disappointed was I that they were so small they looked like clippers for a child. I can't say how they worked because I returned them as the handles were so small.
From FiskarsProductExpert team
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Handle size and fit can be a very personal preference, and we're sorry this pruner wasn't the right match for you. We appreciate you giving it a try and hope you'll find another Fiskars option that feels more comfortable in hand.

It does not prune soft-medium stems well at all. It shreds them and is very difficult to use. It works okay for hard stems
From FiskarsProductExpert team
That’s not how a bypass pruner should perform on softer stems. It’s designed to make clean cuts on green growth, not tear or shred it. If you’re running into that issue, checking blade alignment and sharpness can help. If it continues, our Consumer Services team can take a closer look and help with next steps (https://www.fiskars.com/en-us/pages/warranty-registration).

Not really that sharp. Have to cut at a specific area in the blade for it to work, even brand new
From FiskarsProductExpert team
Thanks for sharing this feedback. This pruner is designed for cutting live, green growth, so performance can vary depending on the material. If you were cutting thicker, dry, or woody stems, that could affect how cleanly it cuts. That said, you shouldn’t have to hunt for a “sweet spot” on the blade, cuts should feel smooth along its length. If you’re seeing inconsistent sharpness right out of the package, it may be a defect and worth a replacement.

not the best
not the best, pretty dull and hard to cut through even the simplest plants. I wouldn't buy them. esthetically nice, functionality horrible.
From FiskarsProductExpert team
We’re sorry to hear this was your experience, that’s clearly disappointing. The pruner should arrive sharp and cut easily, so what you described isn’t expected. We recommend reaching out to Fiskars customer care or Target for assistance with a replacement or solution. We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.

What is wrong with pricing
This is SO frustrating. This was supposed to be 11.69. Even IN THE STORE on the price tag that's what it says. I check-out and it is $15.00. I purposley passed an opportunity to by this somewhere else because Target was supposed to have the best price. I don't have the time or energy to go to customer service EVERY time I shop. Figure your pricing out. By somewhere else.
From FiskarsProductExpert team
While Target manages all in‑store and online pricing, you should be able to get the price shown on the shelf. If you decide to give it another try, their customer service team can usually correct pricing right at the register or service desk.

Sturdy and long lasting. Just a little heavy if work for longer times.
From FiskarsProductExpert team
Appreciate your feedback! The sturdy build is made for durability, though the weight can add up during extended use. It’s great to know it’s holding up well.

Toxic
Read the entire label including fine print, they've gone back to using lead as their main source of "steel" in these pruners which is ridiculous considering the toxicity of lead.

Ok on sale
The orange clasp closer thing is clunky to use and doesn’t hold the blades closed unless you have the orange thing exactly in position in the notch. This is challenging barehanded because it’s stiff and plastic and it feels like it’s going to break off and it’s dang impossible with garden gloves on. Got this on sale for $9 which is ok but definitely not worth it at $13 full price.

Very dull
These were very dull for pruning potted flowers. Adjusted position of stem on blade several times and still a labored process.

From a crafter
I got this to help me cut small wooden sticks for my hobby. I just got it today and I tested some popsicle sticks at different angles. The cuts were pretty clean with no splintering. I have arthritis and I was able to use it fairly easily. I plan to wrap the handles with something to cushion the hard handles.
