I was in the store today and passed by these poor scissors!
The last one, the package was all taped up, but now sign of pre-use!

I liked what I saw and just had to have them! So I did my math, and came out with, I have earned them! So I got them!

I almost cut myself looking at them they are so sharp!

Don't mind all the crud you see on them, I just had to cut, saw and slice stuff to try them out.

I am very pleased with every Fiskars product I have ever bought!

Okay I am off to cut something, be back soon!

those are very cool and I would loose them the first moment I was out in the garden

I do not do well with anything tiny

I have already lost my shears you suggested

they will turn up ..just hopefully not in the lawnmower

Well that's a bummer!
Have you set out a mini search party? I bet if you offered some of that fine sugar filled stuff as a reward they would be found very fast!

Sorry I stay away from all them goodies threads, I lost my Dad to Diabetic complications, So I watch all sugar intake very carefully!
But it looks so darn good!

joe that looks like a great toy, i would be very scared to have one, i usually slip my trimmers in my back (or front) pocket .. your toy seems to be a double edged sword, i'd probably seriously harm myself some how?!?

next year for mothers day im asking for a new pair of clippers!

Yes these things need to be handled with caution!

Here is my complete set I wear into the garden.
Note my Hi-tec Bamboo digging stick.

Yup, it looks handy but no *kidding* they sell it with a sheath to carry it in! :p

For those who tend to lose pruners or etc in the garden <raises hand>, whatcha need to do is tie on a long streamer, like literally 2' long, of orange surveyors tape. This makes it EVER so much more visible when you lay it down somewhere or it falls into a tub of weedings or such.

I really do recommend the actual plastic flagging tape, not some fabric remnant that seems like a perfectly adequate substitute. Reason being, even brightly-colored fabric will fade and dull with time and weathering, whereas the surveyors tape (in orange, specifically) will remain brightly visible for years. So that even if, worst case scenario, you lose your pruners somewhere, there is a fairly good chance that over the next year or so you will unexpectedly glimpse a sudden spot of neon orange where there shouldn't be, and investigate, and find your beloved pruners in salvageable condition.

Ask me how I know ;)

That is a good warning Pat!

Like I say these things are not a toy!

But if I do the caution tape idea the neighbors will have me Baker acted to the bin!

It would look like I'm playing Flag Football by myself in my crazy looking garden! I can see the White Coats already!

Joe

Okay Eby just did a double dare!
My wine screw dance with the streamers!

This should make for some good video!

I have pruner envy :ep

I think you should do the tape, Joe. Get them ALL thinking you're certifiable and perhaps they'll leave your plants alone :duc

Bio fix for the pesky kids!
Take the urine compost thread add rotting grapefruit with a touch of BSF juice, let ferment a few days add to front street side compost units and kids dissipate fast and lasts all night!

"Go ahead and touch my plants they have my special mix on there for ya!"

I call this "Check" mate in two!
