 Handy little pruner September 9, 2008

Fiskars Softouch Micro-Tip Pruning Snip #9921
This is a great tool. It's sharp, lightweight, and fits comfortably in my hand. Even my husband noticed how much easier it was for me to do the pruning. The only fault I see is the lock that engages sometimes while you're snipping. However, that is easily fixed and doesn't affect my satisfaction with this tool. I liked it so much that I bought one for my best friend.
expensive but worth every penny August 8, 2008

these little nippers get into place big shears can't! They're great for deadheading or topping off plants so you get bushier growth. i bought my last pair about 10 years ago and they're still doing remarkably well for their age.
 Very good small pruner August 3, 2008
J. Feiffer (Portland, OR)
This is just the right size for dead-heading flowers and pruning small diameter branches. I use it all the time
Perfect when needed June 27, 2008

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 May 5, 2008

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.
