'Cuts like a hot knife through butter': Popular Fiskars pruning shears are down to $14

If you're a seasoned gardener, I don't need to tell you that having a great set of pruning shears will help you create magical landscapes. But if you're new to the wonderful world of at-home horticulture, I found a tool that can turn a jungle into a primrose path: The top-selling Fiskars Pruning Shears. Shoppers love them for their ease of use and, of course, sharp blades. Careful! They can slice through almost anything. And speaking of cutting, Amazon just slashed the price of these savvy snippers — get them for 33% off.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

At $14, these pruning shears are just a few bucks shy of their lowest price. If you have a green thumb, you'll want to add them to your cart ASAP. And if you don't have a green thumb, these shears will help you get one.

Why do I need this? 🤔

I live in a tiny Brooklyn apartment so I don’t have a garden, but I love buying flowers from my local market. For years, I tried using regular scissors and I’d get so frustrated because no matter how much force I used, they wouldn’t snap flower stems smoothly.

Finally, I thought, "Enough is enough!" and found these fantastic Fiskars shears at Amazon. I’ve now owned them for several years and they work perfectly every single time. They have a soft nonslip grip, and due to the blades’ low-friction coating, they easily glide through wood and resist rust. Experienced gardeners say they cut like a “hot knife through butter.” That makes them easy to handle, even if you can't garden like you used to because of arthritis or decreased grip strength.

A self-cleaning groove helps keep the blade from sticking to sap or debris — a big selling point for experienced gardeners. I especially love the easy-lock notch that keeps them closed when I'm not using them.

What reviewers say 💬

Pros 👍

"Arthritis has no more power over me," shared a happy shopper. "I was unable to use the larger cutting tools because I have nasty arthritis, but with the Fiskars, it's snip and snip and snip, most times for larger diameter plants too. I am ordering another one today. Yes, it's that good."

"Excellent pruning shears," added an experienced gardener. "Easy to handle and cuts very well. Works on small and medium branches of numerous plants. Pruning ferns, hosta and arborvitaes. Fiskar brand products are well made. In my opinion, the product should be in any gardener's toolbox."

"I was looking for a nicer pair of shears after my old ones broke," wrote another five-star fan. "OMG! What an upgrade. These shears are effortless to use. Makes my pruning chores so much easier on my hands. Makes it more enjoyable with less hand fatigue. They are also well built and I expect them to last a very, very long time."

"Very sharp, provides an easy, clean cut," shared a delighted shopper. "Being able to quickly lock the pruners and slip them into a pocket was very convenient."

Cons 👎

According to this reviewer: "The only thing I wish is that they had bright-colored grips because I lay them down in the yard frequently and lose them temporarily."

Another agreed: "I keep losing my clippers in the high flora of my native plants [and] find them years later. I now tie yellow danger tape around the handles in hopes of not losing them. Anyway, these are great and not too expensive. I bought two pairs for the reason already stated."
