GARDEN TOOL REVIEW: Fiskars Rachet Drive Pruner

FISKARS HD TITANIUM RACHET DRIVE PRUNER
When I saw this amazing pruner in a retail bin I thought to myself - "I have to have that thing". It's rare for me to so want something that I would buy it on impulse - but it's a stunning design. I've used the HD model in educational setting to obtain tree clippings for plant ID. It slices through stout branches with ease. I've used it on Japanese Knotweed to clip thick stems as well as on other invasive vines to remove them from a host plant. The action of the pruner is effortless. The tool has a good heft and balance and the grip is a knurled plastic that is steady in gloved or ungloved hands. Sigh.... and the bottle opener.... pure genius. However unglamorous some aspects of gardening are - this pruner is sexy!

Our primary goal is to eradicate food deserts in Harlem and the South Bronx. MG:  Is this a profitable venture? CHF: We are...
