Name a product that has a great rep but you’ve found to be not very good.

MagLites. The bulbs get wanky so you have to shake them just to get the full beam. Otherwise, you’re stuck with a light that looks like it has near-dead batteries.

Dramm Water Wands. Every one inevitably leaks well before it has aged out, and not just from a cheap gasket. Way overpriced.

Fiskars Garden Snips. They make some really good products, but the snips aren’t one of them. The last two I bought fell apart only minutes after opening up the package.

First couple of pair I owned were excellent and had them for years. Lost one pair, probably still in the backyard of my old house somewhere. Second pair I’m pretty sure I loaned out and never saw again. Since then, Fiskars redesigned the locking action. In both of the most recent cases, it’s the buttons that are supposed to slide from one side to the other that come right off.
Screw it; I bought a couple new ones from a different company off amazon. They still use the old school design with a locking metal latch on the bottom of the handles. Probably won’t be as good but at least they’ll work, which is more than I can say for the supposedly better product.

GreenWay, you gotta spend money if you want a good set of reliable, durable pruners. This has been the best pair I've had:

Felco-2 pruners. They run around $50-55 but will last.

Yeah, those are nice, but they’re bypass pruners, not garden snips. I’m referring to the hand tool Nordy posted above.

Those are the ones. Those little orange buttons fell off within a couple minutes of opening the packaging, before I could use them, and it happened twice in a row, a few years apart.
Goes back to the old saying: If it’s not Scottish, it’s crap.

by **Nordic** Mon Aug 03, 2020 11:34 am

Strange. No issues with either of mine. I will say I was leary of breaking that button when I first got them. I'm a fiddler and when they are in my hand I constantly slide it up and down. It gets more abuse than intended I'm sure, but holding strong.

Mostly used for deadheading and removing plant branches in difficult to get to positions without screwing up other branches. And, apparently, for cutting copper, if your name is Nordy. Scissors could def work in certain situations, but snips are extra sharp and pointy, so you cut only what you want to cut and it doesn’t take more than one attempt to do so. Quick and clean with few mistakes.

I saw those advertised a couple of weeks ago. Kind of intrigued by them, but not for the precision snipping. No way my meat bag hands would do anything but break stuff off trying to deadhead. I need the reach and pinpoint cut of snips for the tiny work.

Edit: p.s. Whomever that is trimming plants, she has a penis thumb.

Not sure what the best ones are now. Was a big fan of Klarus for a couple years but there has to be better out now.

My 2D Mags were a lot of fun when they were new. I could light up a Stop sign from 3 and 4 blocks away. Walking the dog at night, I never bothered with anything but a Mag pen light until about five years ago, when skunks moved into the neighborhood. But skunks have bad vision and throwing a beam 20 yards in front of me lets them know somethings coming and not to be startled. Saves them pain from spraying and keeps me smelling Downy fresh.

btw, I’d be into a flashlight thread. About to order something either from amazon or another site once I figure out what’s popular with police departments. Right now, I’m looking into Surefire, Nightcore, Klarus, Fenix, and Pelican. I’m open to anything else you can suggest.
