Good quality, easy to use and sharp.

Just the job. Not at all flimsy when extended.Like the indexed step lock.Much better than twist and lock.Well ground blade. 50mm cut is no problem.Capable of more I suspect!

Very good, cuts well. Heavier than I expected though the weight is in the ad.Ideal for particular jobs, especially soft or live wood.

I bought these mainly because they were reduced in price at the time and I know Fiskas is a high quality brand. The blades aren't razor sharp, but they can certainly cut through most hedges. The handles can easily be adjusted to make them longer with a simple click of a button, then effortlessly sliding the handle to the desired length. I bought some other Fiskas products and they all have come with some nice plastic sheaths to protect the end from damage, whilst protecting the user when they are in storage. The sheaths also have a little handle which can also be used as a hanging point. All in all, I would recommend.

Packaging-Came well packed. The blade is properly protected so, that it would not injure anyone on transit. This could also be used to store the shears in your shed.Quality-The shears are of good quality. Lovely design (looks a bit like a designer item!). Its in the middle with weight. Not too light, nor too heavy.Practicality-The blade is a bit short for my linking. But it does the job (hence I would still give it 5 stars!). Made short work of the hedge.The extendable mechanism works well for hard to reach areas.Price-I directly bought from Amazon, and it was on offer then. I would be happy to pay any price up to £30 for this.Buying from Amazon directly is always better, provided they also have a good price..

Within two months of very occasional use, the blades no longer slide flush against each other. It simply doesn't cut through a stem anymore. Very poor form, for it to fail so quickly. The extendable handles don't click into place firmly enough, and ofter collapse mid-use. Not buying from this company again.

These work well, good brand, good price.
