The Fiskars PowerLever 25-inch easy reach bypass pruner is an ideal choice for pruning roses and other dense or thorny plants. The bypass blade provides a cleaner cut for living green growth, and the unique low-profile design allows the user to safely reach into plants to prune. The additional reach also helps to prevent muscle strain, and the extended handle allows for one or two-handed use for added strength and comfort. In addition, the pruner features Fiskars' patented PowerLever technology--a patented four-point pivot design--which reduces cutting effort by 50-percent. The fully-hardened stainless steel blade is non-stick coated for smooth and clean cuts and can cut branches up to 3/4-inches in diameter.

awesome garden pruner:
For those of you who are tired of being stuck and cut by your rose bushes this is the greatest pruner ever. I did two complete rose gardens and was not hurt once. Enabled me to get to hard to reach areas easily. They cut quickly and sharply. My hand was not fatigued despite having carpal tunnel. Bought another pair as a gift for family. I highly recommend this item.

Innovative, Brilliant, A Must Have Garden Gadget!:
I didn't mean to buy these, but they came in a bundled set a few years ago at Costco and I thought it would end up collecting dust. I thought it was interesting, but hardly something I would bother purchasing separately. Little did I know that it would end up as my favorite garden cutter. As the reviewers have mentioned, it allows you to reach into shrubs and trees to reach difficult branches. The narrow profile and small cutting head allows you to get up to the joint of a branch to make a clean cut from a safe distance (Roses, Barberry, Spireas, etc.). It also extends your reach when cutting branches in lower growing fruit trees. The handle is almost entirely plastic, but it's light and rugged with a claps that keeps it shut when not in use. My only gripe is the nature of the collapsing handle which pinches when cutting through thicker branches. You may want to wear gloves while using these, but otherwise it's not a major issue and I don't find it to be bothersome.

Great for very tall shrub rose bushes:
I find this pruner useful for getting very tall shrub rose bushes pruned. You can reach quite a ways into the bush with these pruners but make sure you wear long rose gloves so you don't get scratched. Also, remember to take frequent small breaks when doing a lot of pruning so your hands don't hurt from repetitive motions.

Fiskars pruner:
Wish it was even longer in length but otherwise I love it! Very sharp, lightweight and has lock; worth the money.

Fiskars Power-Lever 25-Inch Easy Reach Pruner #9127:
Been using this to cut flowers down at the bed, up on the tree, even do little trimming with it, very handy, only hope if the prunning part is of brighter color, so I can get things pick out easily.
