Fiskars Beginner 7 Pc Gardening Tools Bundle, Steel, Orange and Black

This is the set I needed 30 years ago as I've used several similar tools over the years which do not measure up to this set. I'm expecting they'll 'last a lifetime' and they do say 'Lifetime Warranty.' It's possible to get a beefier and/or longer 'long pruner' for shrubs and smaller tree branches although certainly not at the price this set was selling for. And, I have a lesser need for that today so that was not a consideration. I do know that this size/quality handles virtually all residential 'near branch' and clean root pruning jobs. The (aluminum) metal for the 'diggers' in particular is quite thick in comparison to most hand tools you'll find on the market (as I've bent a few 'Why did I buy this?' hand tools over the years). The two scissors are stainless and the hand and longer pruners have steel blades. If you know what gardening tools your friends and/or family use and these tools would be an upgrade, I definitely recommend them for a gift. Hopefully Fiskars will continue to maintain this same quality which you just expect from their tools. Note: This review is not part of any promotion. I just happened to upgrade when I saw these tools on clearance (almost sold out and just a few left?) and I'm really glad I ran across them. I more recently had purchased a Fiskers Ergo Weeder and a Fiskars carbon steel bypass pruner (AD1123) which work exceptionally well: These tools are a really nice addition to those.
