Fiskars Anvil Pruner, 5/8-Inch Cut Capacity Branch Cutter with Power-Lever Technology That Provides More Cutting Power, Best for Dry, Dead Stems and Small Branches

best pruners I"ve used, they are heavy, comfortable, the lock is easy to operate, and they last forever. I've had my last pair with is identical to this one for 20 years, and have used them alot and even left them laying out in the weather alot cause that's the kind of gardener I am, oops! I just ordered 2 of these, and I love them.

These anvil pruners work well and are well made, easy to use, durable, have a comfortable grip and are easy to clean and care for. They cut well the first time and stay sharp. They are not heavy, making them easy to use without causing hand fatigue, helping to get the job done faster!

Update: took a star off because this particular pair was not manufactured correctly. They have almost no spring return action and the thumb lock is extremely stiff.

I love these clippers. They make a clean cut.

Perfect

Doesn’t work like my old one did that looks just like it. It doesn’t have the groove for the blade on the opposing cutting side. Works OK for dry limbs, but not so much for plants.

I liked these so much that I bought a second pair. Easily sharpened. Get an emeryboard or fingernail file. Puts a nice fine edge on them. I use them as pruners for outdoor plants. Have had a pair of these for years. Fits my hands well, but no springs to help recoil the handle, not a big deal as the travel length is pretty short, I've never had them stick. Always give them a squirt of oil in the spring and they're good to go!Highly recommended.
