What a deal for a buck.

I found these at my local dollar tree. They were only $1.00 per pair. I bought every pair they had. I actually like these better than the fiscars. I got both the blue handle ones and the purple, the purple one is better for cutting off branches.

They'll rust and the handles will get gummy and start falling apart. They might say stainless but you've got China right below that. Still a good deal. But basically disposables. Or a year or two of use. I'll stick with my Fiskars. Have had the same two pair for over ten years and they still trim just fine. I wouldn't mind getting a few pairs of those for outside in the garden though.

I have been using the fiskars for a while and to me they seem cheaply made. The lock stopped working after about the second usage. I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy anything, just saying that I like them and for a dollar thought I'd share.

The spring on those looks pretty beefy; that is really hard on your hands compressing that over and over. I have the Fiskars and some of the various hydro shop ones but my absolute favorite are the Chikamasa with curved tips and coating for resisting the resin. When you are sitting and trimming all weekend they make a big difference. Yes they are a lot more than a dollar but sometimes there is a reason.

Those needle point dollar tree clippers are the best. I buy ever pair they have, when they have them. And I am still using the same ones from 5 years ago. I laugh when people pay over $10 for trimmers. They are also easy to take apart and sharpen if you want.
