 arthritis relief Jun 10, 2009
I first tried this product at the International Master Gardener Conference trade show. The Fiscars rep said they'd be available at any of the big box stores that sell Fiscars products, but that turned out not to be true. My local Home Depot and Target sell the larger "arthritis friendly" model but not this smaller one. The cutting action is smooth and easy and the pruner fits my hand perfectly. If you have arthritis in your thumbs this tool is amazing. Instead of squeezing the handle, your fingers roll towards your thumb so there's very little pressure on your joints. I absolutely love it.
Power for Underpowered Hands May 30, 2009
My Fiskars 3X PowerGear Bypass Pruner performs as advertised, making effortless cuts through live branches up to 3/4-inch in diameter - and sometimes through thicker branches, as well. It's lightweight, yet durable. I have used it continuously for over an hour with no hand-cramping or blisters. I use it on lodgepole pine, spruce, fir, aspen and willow. It cuts through live branches like a hot knife through butter. I wish Fiskars would have made the handles bright red or orange instead of black, however. Black looks sleek but is easily lost among garden and forest foliage when I lay it down to change to another tool. I am going to put red duct tape on the stationary handle.

 Fiskars PowerGear Bypass Pruner #7937 Aug 08, 2008
Bypass are being used to cut anything " green" within it's cutting capability, and because when you squeeze and cut, the handle you pull up also rotates to reduce figer fatigue, you might lose grip when wearing gloves, so remember to use this line of pruner bare handed, cuts great under normal posture, also with palm down position, not so when palm facing up, so you switching hands to do the job, and that's when you will find out the power gear handle only rotates clockwise, and the design is not useful in your left hand, so left hand user beware.

nice pruners Aug 06, 2007
these work very well-easy on the hands- I just bought the toro ratcheting pruners for about $11 and they work as good or even better. both good products.

ease of use Sep 20, 2006
having wasted money on cheaper pruners before, it was about time to buy a decent set.
The lower handle doesn't open like with a regular 'scissor' style - it rolls down the palm of the hand. To close regular pruners, you almost have to 'curl' your fingers in, this pruner allows you to 'fold' your fingers in at the knuckle.
try this to see what i mean -
with your hand palm up, thumb straight out to the side. Fold your fingers at the knuckle so they cover your palm. That's how these pruners cut.
now, try using a regular pair of pruners or scissors to see the difference.
After half a garden of pruning with these, it feels a LOT better than it did with other pruners.
If you've not got the strongest hands in the world, this pruner is for you - it allows you to use the force of your whole hand at the same time not just a few fingers. This same action makes using the pruner while wearing gloves a lot easier too.
