Steelfan's Full Review: Fiskars 91276935 Easy Reach 25" Bypass Pruner
My wife and I are always looking for a product that makes maintaining our flower beds and scrubs easier. Recently we were walking around in our local Ollie’s Outlet looking for buyout bargains and we find the Fiskars Power-Lever Easy Reach Bypass Pruner-25”. The pruner is lightweight and has a nice long handle for reaching into thorny plants or the reach those out of reach places inside or on top of plants and bushes. We bought it and also bought one of the smaller 15” model. We liked the 25” pruner so much that about a week later, we bought a second one. I now have one in my truck toolbox and my wife has hers at home.
Extra Reach and Power when you need it.
The Fiskars Power-Lever Easy Reach Bypass Pruner-25” is a simple design that adds length and power to your pruning capabilities. It boosts your reach an extra 25” and with the “Power-Lever” design adds 2 times the cutting power to your hand strength. The “Power-Lever” design is adds leverage by adding length to one side of a single focal point. You can also use two hands if you like for even more power. The handle is made of reinforced fiberglass and the blades are a non-stick covered solid stainless steel for easier cutting. These blades are extremely sharp and can cut up to a ¾” branch. Overall length is about 24 ¾” and the handle is 1 ½” wide by about 2” thick. The weight of the product is a very lightweight 1 1/4 lbs. The locking handle keeps the blades closed when this pruner is not in use. There is also a lifetime warranty on this product.
The good.
This product is an invaluable tool for keeping scrubs and other plants looking great. The length keeps your hands safely away from thorns and allows you to reach deep into bushes for better trimming. Overall design of this pruner is wonderful since the lever action adds twice the power to even the weakest grips and the blades cut through green and dead branches alike. Also there is no problem with fatigue while using the product since it is lightweight and cutting is much easier. There is also a wonderful lifetime warranty on most Fiskars’s products. Cost was also not an issue since we found them at Ollie’s for $12.99.
The bad.
I am a bit worried about the durability of these pruners. The inside mechanism could fail but after about 2 months of a lot of use, we have not seen a decline in this product’s effectiveness. I guess I’m saying that I could easily be wrong.
All in all: If you are looking for a great product to help you with keeping your plants and bushes under control, look no further. This tool does an excellent job of cutting and keeping your hands away from the dangers included with trimming thorny bushes and hard to reach areas. The fact that after using this product 2 times we bought a second set should make a statement on its own. This is a very good product.
