 Great for deadheading annuals and trimming marijuana September 8, 2010
Gen of North Coast Gardening (California)
I'm a landscaper, so I use these snips for deadheading fussy annuals like violas and petunias.
But I used to work at a Humboldt County, CA nursery, and, um... I was probably the only person ever to buy a pair of these for legal purposes! Seriously, this is the gold standard for pot-growers who need to do trimming. What kind of trimming? Durn if I know, but I've seen them at yard sales coated with the sticky sap, and the local growers used to buy stacks of these nippers with their smelly cash, so...
If you need it for either purpose, then these are the best. I've tried other brands and didn't like them as well. Keep in mind this is for cutting thin, tiny deadheads. It's not a pruning shear, it's for very detailed deadheading or nipping of very small stems.
If you're doing a lot of delicate pruning like this, I'd also recommend picking up some of those thin Atlas Nitrile Touch gloves. Best gloves for tactile sensation while doing fine work.
 Awesome detail pruning snips! However... September 2, 2010
baron von hofmann
I will start this review by saying that these snips are nearly perfect for detail trimming and pruning (to those complaining that these aren't made for pruning large branches, perhaps "Micro-Tip" should have tipped you off). They are much easier to work with than regular scissors and have a very fine point for accessing hard-to-reach leaves. So why do I rate them only 3 stars? Because they are identical (literally) to the Fiskars soft touch scissors which are $2.00 cheaper [...]I ordered one of each thinking that the scissors were slightly larger (they aren't). The only difference between these two items is the packaging and the fact that the pruning snips come with a small piece of plastic to be used for covering the sharp tip while not in use; a piece of plastic which I already managed to lose.
Overall, wonderful product for its intended purpose, but save yourself two bucks and get the scissors.
 Too small, never found a use for them August 3, 2010

I bought these for my wife for trimming store bought flowers and garden flower gathering. She hated them. Not even useful for roses. Maybe right size for precise bonsai type work, but too flimsy. Waste of money. Get a pair of Felco 300's for a couple bucks more.
Perfect Snips! July 24, 2010

*****
I love my new snips--they are light, sharp, sturdy, and lock easily. They are really handy for all of the flowers my husband brings in from the garden in summer. I am ordering another because I am so pleased with them, and want one for outside and one for inside the house. They are comfortable to hold because of the padded handle. They are smaller than I'd thought but so far they've handled every job I've done with them. I am being careful with them and not using them for heavy pruning (I have pruners for this). I think that if you want some inexpensive quality snips you'll be very pleased with these.
Highly recommended.

Great little snippers June 14, 2010

Lightweight, easy to lock/unlock, with a sharp point cover. These are perfect for cutting roses and other flowers and will even handle a thicker stem with a little effort.
