 My favorite light pruning tool May 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I've had a garden in the past, my Gerber Daisies and Geraniums did not bloom as much as other people's did. I believed that it was a function of better soil, light, food, etc. I now know that it was because I did not trim the spent flowers aggressively. I found that my regular pruning shears tended to take off more than 1 stem. When I tried to pull out the dead blooms, I would often take up more than the dead flower unless the stem was dry & brown; I often found myself pulling up the whole plant especially on my younger plants. I now take my micro-tip pruning snippers with me whenever I check out my flower beds. It fits easily in my pocket, and I can just snip any dead blooms I see. My geraniums are flourishing. People comment on them whenever they pass by, and they can't believe that the plants are only about 2 months old. It didn't take long for me to lose the little cover that came with it, but I don't really miss it because, as an avid gardener who enjoys beautiful plants, I tend to take good care of my pruning tools.
They fit easily among the branches of lush plants so that I can snip only the leaves I'm aiming for and leave all of the others. I've been using them about 5 months and love them more every day. I limit their use to delicate plants to preserve the sharp edge and therefore limit the trauma to my plants as long as possible. I use the Fiskars Power-Lever Bypass Pruner #9634 for my roses and shrubbery and the Fiskars 18-Inch PowerGear Bypass Lopper #9625 for small tree branches.

I use a lot of Fiskars gardening tools and these are the best small pruners I have found. My last pair lasted over 3 years.
Great pruning snips for herb gardens. February 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered these pruning snips to use with my herb garden based on the small size of the cutting tip and the price.
Pros:
1. Small cutting tip works great for getting in between different plants.
2. Small size is comfortable in hand.
3. Symmetrical, so it doesn't matter which way you pick it up to use.
4. Well placed and easy to use switch - accessible from both sides.
5. Spring loaded.
6. Safety cap easy to put on/take off.
Cons:
None yet.
Periodically add a light coat of oil to the cutting tip to keep rust from forming. I have not seen any rust on my snips, but a little preventive maintenance is always good. Since I use my snips for herbs, I use vegetable oil.
Great Snip February 8, 2008
The Fiskars Micro-tip pruner is super for "buds off" when too many on peach limb, great for the apples they bud in groups of 5 and for snipping
veggies and herbs...
Great Pruner! January 3, 2008
These Fiskars pruner are so easy to use when doing floral arrangements. They do not easily cut thick stems (like roses) but are great with carnations, mums, etc.
