Fiskars UltraBlade Bypass Pruner  Product Reviews

"This was one of the first cutters I bought for the garden and has been the least successful. The blades easily jam, this is particularly frustrating when trimming suckers at the base of a tree and I pick up a stray wood chip. Part of the problem maybe due to defective workmanship or faulty design because the blades don't make a tight pass and can become easily clogged. It only worked trouble free for a month before I had to replace it with the Power Gear design from Fiskars, a dramatically better product! This might be good for medium duty branch trimming and nothing else, but otherwise I would look at the other Fiskar designs for a more trouble-free and versatile trimmer. "

"this pruner is easy to use and sharp. glad i bought it."

"Fiskars always seems to make a quality tool, and this pruner is no exception. The slide that lets me lock the blades together so I can put it in a pocket is a nice plus. I can bend and move without worrying about whether I'm pruning something I didn't intend to. I've cut rose bushes and small twigs the size of plant branches. It has a comfortable handle that is easy and painfree to hold on to. Good purchase for me."

"I was looking for a professional quality tool, this isn't it. the blade warped and cut into the anvil on the third cut I made. Bad gouge in the anvil means it won't cut clean any more."
