Fiskars 9608 Power Notch Shears

Although the low price drew me in, I found this tool to be lacking in functionality. To begin with, the small butterfly nut that holds the two halves of the scissors together is constantly loosening and requires constant tinkering. Second, the plastic handles eventually cracked as a result of repeated use. They're fine for very light duty, but they're not up to the task of clipping cut flowers every few days. Too bad. We got one good season out of them, so it wasn't a total loss, but I despise wasting tools that don't hold up over time.

I've been tending to my St. Augustine lawn, trying to recover from a fungus and chinch bug infestation last season. Some special areas, such as along edges and in small separate sections, are growing too sparsely to simply mow over or trim with a string trimmer. I wanted to trim these areas by hand. This pair of shears is the ideal solution. They make it simple to control the cut and are sharp enough to only require one cut. Because the blades disassemble quickly, they're also simple to clean. This is an excellent resource.

In the kitchen, I use them to cut meats and other foods. They're ideal for use in the garden and for edging small plants. I've even cleaned fish with them! br>They are always with me. I keep a pair in the car and bring them with me on vacation.

We bought these to handle a variety of jobs, and they've done a fantastic job on all of them. They'll be primarily used in the kitchen to cut up food. However, we also used them to trim grass in tighter areas, such as around rocks and trees, and they worked well.

I have four pairs, which I use in the kitchen, yard, shop, and craft room. Chicken, plant stems, fine wire, cardboard, and paper are among the things I can cut apart. They won't cut most fabrics unless they've been sharpened recently, but that's not why I bought them in the first place.

I've been using regular kitchen scissors to do some gardening tasks, such as cutting mesh and cutting small plants, for a few months now, and saving my pruning shears for larger plants because they're a little more clumsy when it comes to precision trimming. br>br>These Fiskars scissors are ideal for use in the kitchen. between. There isn't a better tool for cutting plastic mesh fencing, seed germination blankets, twine, and small plants! These cut through everything like butter, and they're a lot easier to use than pruning shears. br>br>Strongly suggested. br>br>.

This is fantastic! I cut my fabric with them in the garden. It made my job a whole lot easier. A regular pair of shears wouldn't have been able to cut the fabric as easily as these did, but they worked perfectly. I purchased some for other members of my family and gardening acquaintances.

There's a good reason why these scissors are no longer available. They aren't very effective. They have a flaw that causes them to bind together at the stud that connects the two halves. Beware, they've been retired for a reason.
