Fiskars Garden Introduces Easy Reach Pruners

Sauk City, WI

Fiskars, a world leader in innovative cutting tools, is pleased to introduce two new hand pruners with extra long handles. Available with a 15- or 25-inch handles, these pruners feature our patented Power-Lever® technology - a unique design that uses levers to multiply your cutting power, making even those big pruning cuts easier. The lever-action also gives these pruners a narrow profile, even with the handles fully open, so gardeners can reach deep into dense growth and thorny rose bushes without risking injury.

"Whether it's our world-famous scissors or a hand pruner, we design all of our cutting tools with comfort, efficiency and simplicity in mind," said Olavi Linden, director of new product development for Fiskars Garden & Outdoor Living. "A cutting tool should feel natural in your hand, like an extension of your body."

The Easy Reach Pruners are strong enough for all-day pruning chores, yet comfortable and light enough to allow for pruning without added strain on hands and wrists. The longer handles provide enough room to use two hands for added and comfort. Both pruners feature precision-ground, non-stick coated steel blades that are fully hardened to withstand years of cutting green and growing wood up to 3/4 inch in diameter. The Nyglass® construction makes the pruners extremely lightweight, yet exceptionally durable.
