The Fiskars products are generally good but the PowerGrip 2 hand pruner is a dangerous product. Twice now one of my employees and myself have ripped the skin off our thumbs while pruning. As well as it works it’s a very unsafe product. The problem is that your thumb floats free while your palm and fingers apply downward pressure during the cut. If you thumb gets close to the downward action the protruding hard part of the handle with gouge out all the layers of your skin and it’s a bloody mess. I have now restricted all of our employees from using this product until it’s safely engineered.
I hate the stickers on the tools. Who really wants to use tools with bright branding and bar codes on them?
I tried for an hour or more to get the sticker off my hand trowel, and when the handle and my hands just became a mass of sticky glue, I gave up and threw the trowel in the bin. Very disappointed.
I would like to leave a revew on the fiskers Premium Kangaroo Pop-Up leaf bag.Although this bag appears to be substantial it has limitations because it is missing a handle on the bottom only one handle is not enough also no holes in the bottom to let trapped air out when using a plastic lawn leaf bag inside.
Just wondering how I can sharpen the garden machetes? We have 2 and they are dulling. thank you!
I use the Work Sharp tool. It works great. They have a handheld unit that I use for all my outside tools.
I have Fiskar branch cutter claiming 2″ cut power. Well, its blade after few applications do not look like a blade anymore rather a saw.
