Love it!

Reviews: Fiskars 9234 62-Inch Pruning Stik

This product does the job beautifully. I have a large naturalized garden, and there's always have lots of overgrowth to keep in check or invasive saplings to remove. I'm so glad I found this tool, because now I can do most of the trimming myself instead of having to worry whether or not some guy I've hired will do it gently and selectively. It allows you to be very precise in what you trim, and is lightweight enough to handle easily. I only wish it would cut thicker branches, though now that I have the tool, hopefully I can keep things from getting out of hand.

One caveat - by rotating the cutting head you're able to nip off invasive saplings at ground level, but this takes practice. If there's a great deal of ground cover, it's hard to see where to cut, and in the end you have to bend over and pick up the material anyway if you want the area neat and tidy. I'm not so sure it's not just as easy to bend over with a hand pruner and do both steps at once. Still, it likely a handy feature and I'll have to spend more time perfecting it.

I highly recommend this pruner. Thank you, Fiskars!
