Fiskars 9900 1/2-Inch Cutting Capacity Rear Pivot Bypass Pruner (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
What the heck is that? Expect your neighbors to raise their eyebrows when they see you wielding this innovative pruner. Because, we admit, it does look a little odd with the pivot mechanism behind your hand instead of up front where you are used to seeing it. But this pruner doesn't feel odd. It feels awesome, because the configuration moves your hand forward to a position of greater strength and precision. You will power through pruning jobs (and enjoy watching your neighbors turn a particularly pleasing shade of "envy green").
