Customer Reviews for Fiskars PowerGear2 3/4 in. Cut Capacity Titanium Coated Blade with SoftGrip Handle Bypass Hand Pruning Shears

I do not like these. The rolling handle makes it difficult to steady on limb and that makes it difficult to cut quickly when you have several branches lined up. Do not recommend.

Works well and lasts a long time.. Use it nearly every

Very short and easy on the hands.

They are handy and cut well the first time

They cut fine... but they hang up and stick. They don't respond as they should. I have a different brand, cheaper pair that works better. Not worth the money. Company needs to improve design workability. keep looking you can do better. :)

I didn’t think about it but they probably are right handed. I seem to have problems using them left handed.

I love these, but they keep breaking. The last pair lasted less than a month.

I have arthritis in my thumb and these shears are the best medicine for me to use.

I really like these except for the rolling handle part. I am sure there is a reason for it, but not being used to it, I found it awkward. They cut well, sharp, good clippers.

Not expecting much from these, but they work great. They are sharp and easily cut through 3/4" branches.

I could never get the gear to work properly. And unless you have hands like Sasquatch or Andre the Giant, there is no way that these will fit in your hand properly to use it one-handed. I returned them and bought another less expensive brand

I use these for Christmas clippings, for a retail store. Best I have found yet.

We bought these shears looking to duplicate a friend's geared shears that are no longer available, but this new design is terrible. The handle opens very wide and kind of rolls to close in a very awkward motion. Maybe is might work for someone with large hands but it does not work for me or my wife.

The product itself works good, but if you like a product that breaks and loses it's locking mechanism so you can't lock it at all (plus the hope of being able to return it due to losing the receipt), I have the hope of trying just for getting a new tool.

The most pooly designed and engineered piece of garbage I have ever bought. Does not fit a normal sized hand and does not retract after cut. Returning right away.

Superior cutting, very sharp, strong, easy to handle.

Terrible product, don’t buy. The handles have to be forced apart after each cut. They’re mechanically inferior and frustrating to use.

The mechanism is not helpful, just annoying. The lock engages with every cut so you have to unlock it each time. Very annoying and slows down the job. Cut-unlock. Cut-unlock. I have arthritis and garden every day. My hubby thought these would be better than the regular Fisk cutters. They are not. They don't cut well either. They crush. Just like another reviewer said. They are heavier than the usual pruners, and the mechanism is basically just the entire lower handle ROLLING oddly in your hand as you pull it closed. It feels awkward. This is not an upgrade. Stick with straghtforward cutters. These are going back to the store ASAP! (this is the first review I've ever written. That's how much I dislike these.)
