Fiskars Axe and Knife Sharpener #7861

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Gardening Tools
from: Fiskars


I brought this sharpener and I recently sharpened my Cold Steel Trail Boss with it and it takes like 20 minutes to sharpen it, it wears my arm down after a couple of minutes, and the sharpener is already wearing down! I'm planning next week to get the Fiskars Hatchet, the Fiskars Splitting Axe, and I'm also planning to get a Granfors Bruks Sharpener to replace this one.

P.S. The reason I gave this sharpener 2 stars instead of 1 is because at least it made the axe sharp again.

Fiskars Telescoping Pruning Stik #9240

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Gardening Tools
from: Fiskars


This pole pruner performs very well, the ability to rotate the head (easily cutting branches at different angles) was one of the main reasons for the purchase. The second reason was the simple/clever design on the cutting and handling (no additional rope to pull/to mess with) I wouldn't like to push it's cutting ability more than 1 1/4" inches, so I would definitely recommend people not to push it above/or at 1 1/4" inches. I haven't had the chance to use the saw head/blade setup. I was pleasantly surprised how light it is; this will reduce the hand/neck ache that can go along with trimming trees

I noticed that some reviewers mentioned that the packaging was poor (it still is - as of August 2008), this is an understatement; I was ... Read More:

these little nippers get into place big shears can't! They're great for deadheading or topping off plants so you get bushier growth. i bought my last pair about 10 years ago and they're still doing remarkably well for their age.

Fiskars Big Grip Garden Knife #7079

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Gardening Tools
from: Fiskars


I purchased the Fiskars Big Grip Garden Knife through Amazon. It broke the first time I used it. The blade is welded to the handle and the weld broke. The tool was useless after 30 seconds of work. Apparently, it is not a very well made tool. I normally like Fiskars products but this one need a little more design work. I like this type of tool for weeding and garden use and there are several on the market which are better made.

Felco Classic Manual Hand Pruner #F-2

I checked several web sites - including Felco - and got the same pruner here much cheaper. These pruners are top notch.....will last several years, if not decades, if you take care of them.

Fiskars PowerGear 31-1/2-Inch Bypass Lopper #9154

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Gardening Tools
from: Fiskars


Because of the length and the power gear, you have to spread your arms wide in order to make this 2" cut, which can be troublesome in many cases, if you ever come across a power gear2 design, i'd suggested you buy it instead, a 27 inch power gear2 also cuts 2" while your arms don't have to do spread eagle all afternoon, this one serves the purpose, but tiresome after 15 minutes.

Fiskars Long Handled Swivel Grass Shears #9210

The grass clippers work just fine in places where I can not use the weedeater.
I use it around some of my some bushes where the weedeater would tear up the bush.

Hound Dog Products Weed Hound #HDP-1S

This item does not pull up weeds. It does make a hole in the ground. Save your money and pull the weeds yourself, because even with this you'll be doing just that.

Stanley Professional Backpack Poly 4-Gallon Sprayer #61804

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Gardening Tools
from: Stanley


My issue with this sprayer is in the compression fitting where the hose connects with the sprayer wand. It failed after only a couple of hours use. I tried cutting off the flared hose to start over only to run into the same problem again. I'm not one to return things if I can't make them better. I dropped the whole plastic compression fitting idea and went with a brass hose bib and hose clamp. A much smarter way to go in my opinion. No more problems. Stanley should spend the little bit extra on a metal fitting and clamp to alleviate customer dissatisfaction.

Fiskars PowerGear Pruner #7936

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Gardening Tools
from: Fiskars


Great pruners - the rotating handle mechanism virtually eliminates sore hands and the dreaded "pinch" when a branch suddenly breaks and the fleshy part of your thumb or palm gets caught.

After some heavy pruning this season, these finally gave out after years of service. Absolutely no complaints considering the abuse they took.

I'm buying two pairs and dumping my others into the recycle bin for good. Once you've tried these, you won't accept the other junk that's out there, no matter how expensive and what brand name they may have.
