Customer Reviews

Perfect when needed
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
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 off more than the dead flower unless the stem was dry & brown.

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.

Best little cutters
I use a lot of Fiskars gardening tools and these are the best small pruners I have found. My last pair lasted over 3 years.
