  1. Sep 18, 2023 · The Fiskars P541 is one of the best affordable bypass pruners you can buy, with good cutting performance and a lightweight, ergonomic design. It struggles a little with thicker tree branches, but performs well in other pruning activities.

    I’m a big believer in using new or different technologies to improve on age-old products. That’s why I was excited to see how the new Fiskars PowerGear2 stacked up against a high quality standard bypass pruner. After opening the package, I could see right away that this pruner is different. It incorporates a gear drive/cam system into both handles ...

    Fiskars incorporated a gear train/cam mechanism into their pruner that’s supposed to multiply the cutting force by 3x and thereby reduce the energy required to make a pruning cut. In theory this should work, but what I discovered was the opposite. I found that a standard non-geared bypass pruner did a better job than the PowerGear2. The PowerGear2 ...

    The Fiskars PowerGear2 has a rolling handle that’s the driving force behind the geared/cam mechanism. If you’ve never used a rolling handle before, you may find it a little awkward at first. As you open your hand, the handle held by your fingers rotates outward; as you close your grip, the handle rotates inward with your fingers. A well-designed ro...

    I had an instance where my finger slipped off the rotating handle and slid forward toward the geared mechanism as the handles were opening. My index finger got pinched in the rolling gear area. This shouldn’t be a frequent problem because the lower rolling handle has a pretty aggressive bump to hold your index finger in place. But with a sweaty or ...

    When using the pruner, I continually pinched my palm between the two handles as they closed. I attribute this to the huge force I had to use to cut through ¾-inch branches and the flexing of the handles as the cut finished. In smaller diameter wood (1/2 inch) the handles didn’t pinch my hand but my fingers bumped into the handles. Maybe people with...

    The PowerGear2 bypass pruner is designed to be used by right handed folks, so those who are left hand dominant are out of luck.

    Most bypass hand pruners have a shock absorber built into the handles. These are usually a single or double rubberized pad that slams together at the completion of a pruning cut and cushions the impact. The shock absorption of the bumpers helps reduce wrist, hand and finger fatigue when making multiple pruning cuts. The PowerGear2 bypass pruner doe...

    The pruner has a sliding locking button on top of the pruner, just aft of the cutting blades. It’s easily accessible, slides nicely and stays put in the both the open and closed positions.

    The blades are coated with a non-stick material that reduces friction and makes it easier to cut. The coating also reduces rusting (although with all cutting tools I recommend that they be dried off after each use and a thin coat of oil applied to the blades). The PowerGear2 bypass pruner has an oil hole at the bottom of the cutting blade assembly ...

    Fiskars offers a lifetime warranty for the life of the tool that only includes defects in materials and workmanship. Also, they do not warranty the sharpening of their blades and suggest buying a replacement blade. Since there are no replacements to be found it’s a little hard not to sharpen the blade when dull. If it were me, I would sharpen the b...

  3. Dec 6, 2023 · As a geared anvil lopper, the Fiskars PowerGear Anvil Lopper XS L31 has two additional standout design features that maximize cutting power. First there are the gears: a large one on the handle of the anvil blade, and a smaller one on the handle of the cutting blade. The smaller gear turns the larger one to leverage the blades, which increases ...

  4. Jun 2, 2021 · Fiskars makes excellent hobbyist-level garden pruning shears and other tools for pruning plants in the home landscape. While the most popular Fiskars pruners are not the highest-end pruners available, they certainly offer excellent value for the price.

  5. Mar 19, 2019 · That’s what excited me most about testing the new Fiskars Chain Drive Extendable Pole Saw & Pruner: it seemed like the right tool for the job—the job of cutting and pruning branches safely from the ground. Can your saw cut 3″ branches as high as 16′ off the ground with ease? SPECIFICATIONS. Product weight: 5.95 lbs.

  7. Fiskars pruners are great for pruning shoots on fruit trees, keeping perennial flowers neatly trimmed and for pruning long, wayward branches out of shrubs. As you work, the pruners' comfortable rotating handle follows the natural motion of your hand to help reduce fatigue.
