Hand Tool Reviews

I have used my original Felco #2 for 25 years and just purchased a second home and couldn't live without one in that location.

This is the best pruner! My husband uses it all the time and does feel a difference from the traditional right handers pruners. It is sturdy and prunes like cutting through butter. Very easy on the hands.

If you're just starting off with gardening you don't need to spend the money on these. You'll do fine with a $5 pair of shears from Home Depot, and that way if you end up not doing much pruning you haven't wasted any money. However, if you're a serious gardener who does a lot of pruning you'll want a serious set of shears and these are the best. The action is smooth and tight and the blade is fantastic. I bought the F9 because I'm left-handed, but if you're like most lefties and you're already used to using regular right-handed shears, you may not see any big advantage to these.

I have the same set, only slightly larger (includes #3 phillips, etc.) and I have to say I'd have been willing to pay more than I did. Very durable (I am an industrial service electrician, and my tools see hard use) and fantastic ergonomics- the handles are soft enough to be comfortable, but firm enough to give good feedback, and have a very effective no-slip quality, keeping them in your hand. If you buy these screwdrivers, I doubt you'll be sorry.

This is a soft foam product, formed to grasp with one hand. The bottom has a heavy vinyl layer for sticking the peel and stick abrasive to the hand unit. I plan to use it for touch up sanding on acoustic guitar production. [...] Nice way to add a bit more versatility to the abrasives which are already in stock for my random orbital sander.

I tried 'em all. The sanding block on a stick---my arms STILL hurt and the dust got in my eyes! The wet sponge or rag---not dusty, but it took forever. My orbital palm sander worked well, but the plaster gummed up its insides.

Enter the FibaTape Dustless Drywall Sander. I was helping my bro-in-law Goog remodel his bathroom. After putting the first layer of mud up I left him to do the sanding. (Because I hate it.) But a friend of his had one of these dandy FibaTape sanders hooked up to a shop vac! Presto! Sanding drywall was a dream! Almost effortless, and best of all---NO DUST! Note: We used the FibaTape sanding screens, and they worked VERY well.

I'm getting one of these babies because I know that after the first two jobs it will have paid for itself.

The spring action is a real hand-saver. I occasionally have carpel tunnel syndrome and joint pain. These scissors are the easiest cutting tool I have ever used. They make regular scissors seem old fashioned.

Very impressive gardening tool, it has 1" to 4" markings on the metal part of the tool with a solid well built feel. The handle is well designed with a large hole for hanging. It's made from a non slip resistant coating and the top end of the tool has an extra wide area great for pushing down when more leverage is desired. Love those Fiskars tools.

These tools are small and cute. They have a comfortable plastic handle. The metal is very strong. They are Fiskars, so you know that they will be great. And for the price, it's practically a 'steal'.

Great quality and great price. If you need a comfortable and easy to use hedge shear, purchase this one. The man in the family, says was the best purchase I have made in a long time. He liked this one and says is of exceptional quality
