Product Information

Full details

The Fiskars Solid Anvil Pruner L P361 is designed for gardeners seeking an efficient tool for pruning dead stems and branches. Its key benefit lies in the anvil-style cutting system and precision-ground blade, which ensure clean cuts and durability. A potential caveat is its anvil design, which may not be ideal for all types of live plant pruning compared to bypass pruners. This lightweight pruner features a fully hardened steel blade with a low-friction coating for smooth operation and rust resistance, complemented by a comfortable FiberComp handle with SoftGrip for secure handling.

FAQs

What is the maximum cutting capacity of this pruner?

The Fiskars Solid Anvil Pruner L P361 has a maximum cutting capacity of 20mm (approximately 0.78 inches).

Is this pruner suitable for cutting live plants?

While it can cut live stems, the anvil design is primarily intended for dead, dry wood. For live plants, a bypass pruner generally provides a cleaner cut and is less likely to damage the plant tissue.

How do I engage the safety lock?

There is an easy-open, sliding lock mechanism. Slide it to cover the blade when not in use or during transport and storage.

What material is the handle made of?

The handle is made of FiberComp, a lightweight yet sturdy composite material, with SoftGrip detailing for added comfort.

How often should I lubricate the blade?

It is recommended to lubricate the blade and pivot point periodically, especially after cleaning and drying, or if you notice the action becoming stiff.

Can I sharpen the blade myself?

Yes, the fully hardened steel blade can be sharpened using a sharpening stone or file. Ensure you maintain the original bevel angle for best results.

What is the benefit of the low-friction blade coating?

The low-friction coating helps prevent sap and debris from sticking to the blade, allowing for smoother, easier cuts and reducing the risk of rust.

Troubleshooting

Pruner is difficult to close or open.

Check for debris or sap buildup around the blade and pivot. Clean thoroughly and apply a light lubricant to the pivot point.

Blade does not cut cleanly through material.

Ensure the material is within the 20mm cutting capacity. If the blade is dull, sharpen it using a sharpening stone or file. The anvil design is also best for dead material; try a bypass pruner for live stems.

Pruner feels stiff or lacks smooth action.

Clean the blade and pivot area. Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the pivot and move the handles back and forth to distribute the oil. Ensure the blade is not bent or obstructed.

Rust appears on the blade.

Clean the blade thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild abrasive (like baking soda paste if needed). Dry completely and apply a light coating of oil to protect the blade surface. Store in a dry environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective for cutting dead stems and branches.
  • Durable construction with hardened steel blade.
  • Comfortable and secure grip due to SoftGrip details.
  • Lightweight design reduces user fatigue.
  • Blade coating enhances cutting ease and prevents rust.

Cons

  • Anvil design is best suited for dead material; may crush live stems.
  • Limited cutting capacity (20mm) for thicker branches.
  • Anvil pruners generally require more force than bypass pruners for clean cuts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Fiskars Solid Anvil Pruner L P361 comes ready to use. Ensure the sliding lock is disengaged before first use.

Compatibility: This pruner is designed for cutting dead stems and branches up to 20mm in diameter. It is not recommended for live plants where a cleaner cut is essential to avoid damage and disease.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth to remove sap and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
  2. Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the blade and pivot point to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Do this after cleaning and drying.
  3. Sharpening: The fully hardened steel blade can be sharpened using a sharpening stone or file. Sharpen at the same angle as the original bevel to maintain performance.
  4. Storage: Always engage the easy-open sliding lock when storing the pruner to protect the blade and ensure safety. Store in a dry place.
