Perfect when needed

This is perfect for deadheading roses and other spent blossoms. Generally easy to use, but the locking mechanism can be annoying, especially with gloves on.
My favorite light pruning tool 2008-05-05
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 off more than the dead flower unless the stem was dry & brown.
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.
Best little cutters 2008-03-10
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. 2008-02-09
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 2008-02-08
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! 2008-01-03
The softouch micro-tip pruning snip from Fiskars is designed to snip away delicate tips of flowers and foliage while giving you a comfortable grip and fit. The snip's handle is 5-inches long, has a softouch ergonomic handle, and fits well in small to medium-sized hands. The 1-1/2-inch blade is made of rust-resistant stainless steel and was designed for the precision trimming and shaping of flowers and small plants. The tool can be locked in the closed position with an included small plastic latch when not in use for safe storage. The tool includes a limited lifetime warranty.
A long-lasting bargain! 2007-11-29
Received these small, light snippers by Fiskars as a gift years ago, and would have never guessed that they would still be serviceable years later. They have proven to be far more rugged than expected, and though showing their age now, the stainless steel blades have maintained a surprising amount of sharpness.
Must note that it's the handles of these things that are the best part. The cushioned grips are more ergonomic and better designed for comfort than so many gardening snippers and cutters. Add to that, they're actually ambidextrous... left-handed people who pick up mine are amazed how well they fit the hand. And the blades have a convenient lock, one that actually works.
Have never had small snippers last as long as these. Will probably have to replace them in the next year or so, but as they've been so reliable and since the price is so good, won't even think twice about it. Giving them 5-stars for quality, versatility, longevity and price.
Fiskars Softouch Micro-tip Pruner 2007-11-02
This small pruner is ideal for pruning small plants, where the larger pruner might be unwieldy. Particularly useful for the constant dead-heading necessary to keep flowering plants at their best. Love it!
Useful in Garden, Field, and . . . Kitchen 2007-10-30
One of Frisker's best - if not their best - the slightly bevelled point makes for precision cutting - the blade is quite solid and the instrument - as with all Frisker cutters - is solidly machined. Thus, beyond standard pruning applications, I use these in the field to cut twine and narrow guaged rope, string, etc. They are useful when you need to first incise and then make a fine cut with some power. They are excellent for salad preparation in the kitchen - great for use with greens and vegetables - I carry them in my backpack for the above purposes and more when on the trail - they're quite useful for gear repair. The saftey cap provided is another super feature - and I keep them sheathed on top of that. One wishes Gerber, Leatherman and the other multi-tool makers would get hip to the substantial, yet refined blade design of this first-rate tool.

Fiskars Pruning Snips. Great for my use in small trimming of plants. Had a pair several years ago and wanted more.Finally decided to try Friskars on the internet and lo. These are great snips for a nursery for either pruning or cuttings.
