just about perfect

Reviews: Fiskars 9234 62-Inch Pruning Stik

I haven't used it for long, but can already tell it's just what I was hoping for.
To be absolutely perfect it would need to have a hook or ring to hang it up when not in use. The "directions" printed on the packaging were a bit cryptic. It took me awhile to figure out how to rotate the cutting head, and I couldn't get it to rotate as much as shown in the picture. Then I realized I was needed to turn it turn it the other way.
The package shows it being used to cut at ground level, though I'm planning to use it that way just to cut off volunteer plants, not to prune any good plants like the one in the picture. Other tools are better for that.
Others complained that parts broke off. I'm not strong enough to do that, but if you are, hold back a little.
Fiskars' packaging must have changed from what it was when another reviewer said it was in a small package. Mine was full length.
And FYI, the handle was made in the US, but the rest in Finland.
