The Fiskars Fingerloop Bypass Pruner P44 is an excellent pruning shear. The comfortable Fingerloop configuration for the hand is complemented by a soft and secure SoftGrip coating that makes cutting and pruning bushes extremely comfortable. The Fingerloop itself not only allows the user to engage all the power of the fingers in cutting, but the loop also provides a first line of defense against sharp thorns when you are for example pruning rose bushes.
