Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ONLY USED Fiskar soft touch trimmers, pruners, loppers etc because IMHO they HAD made the best. Most recently I had to replace two pairs of the Soft Touch Pruning Scissors that are approx 8+ years old and had ben sharpened professionally a few times over the years and were my favorite pair, so much so that over the next year or two of buying my first 2 I then purchased 12 more pairs for other gardeners in my family and for some friends. When I received the 2 new pairs I bought I was in shock, right away you can just feel how cheap they feel in comparison to the original model. The old model was made in the USA and Ill assume the new version is not since the imprint "Made in the USA" is no longer on the package/scissor blade. After the 2 full day of use the spring popped on the one pair and the same day while using the 2nd pair the plastic slide which locks the blades popped off as well!! I went back online and purchased Hydrofarms equivilant to Fiskars, not only are they a cheaper price, they came with a free belt holder to hold the scissors while you are in the garden.
