When it comes time to scrapbook, designing special party invitations or a card to send someone, my paper trimmer is one of the first items I pull out.  I wouldn't be without it, EVER.  It is a very portable unit, measuring just 16-1/4" long x 8-1/2" wide.  The blade carriage is good for over 1000 cuts and my trimmer also came with an extra blade....

I bought Fiskar Softouch Transplanter a couple of years ago. Walmart had it, as well as some other hand tools by Fiskar, for under $4. I remember looking at even cheaper, plastic tools when I was choosing mine; they looked strong, but I just couldn't trust plastic. Fiskar, on the other hand, had immediately attracted me as something that would last for years: the transplanter is made of cas...

I had bought this cultivator together with a transplanter of the same brand. The cultivator gets used probably twice as much since I have a lot of work for it in my vegetable garden and not just flower beds. I cultivate soil several times during the season after pulling weeds, making it easier for water to reach the plant roots. The work goes fast and easy with this handy tool; the three "...

I am a big fan of Fiskars gardening tools, they are sturdy and easy to use. I do not, however, own this bulb planter (yet), I have another one by Yardworks, which I like; but when I saw this one at a friend's place, I just had to borrow it to see whether Fiskars verson was any better. The transplanters are very similar: a hollow steel cylinder with a handle, you press on the handle and cut o...

I purchased a pair of Fiskars all-purpose scissors several years ago when the pair of scissors I owned at the time somehow "disappeared". I should mention that at that time I shared a home with my husband, my teenage twin daughters, and his three teenage children. So, the mystery of the disappearing scissors really wasn't much of a mystery. Anyhow...The purchase of Fiska...

I love scrapbooking, and one of my favorite tools to use in my designs is the Fiskars border punch.  The one shown in the pictures is the flower border design. This is a very easy way for me to get a beautiful edge on my paper.  All I have to do is place the edge of the paper under the cutter and press down on the lever.  It gives a nice clean cut of the design.  To continue...

The Fiskars Paper Crimper is a great scrapbooking tool to give your projects a nice 3D effect.  It can also be used in card making or children's crafts. I have had this tool for a long time and it still works as good as the day I bought it!  Fiskars is one of the best brands you can buy for paper cutting and decorating.  The crimper is made of heavy duty plastic with metal cr...

My wife owns quite a collection of Fiskars gardening tools, and today I have added one more item to it: Fiskars Bypass Pruner (#9635). I bought it not only to prune but also to help get rid of some thick-stemmed weeds that have grown in a rocky area of our yard where I cannot mow.I tried the pruner shortly after bringing it home. Fiskars promises that this tool cuts two times easier, and I can ...

  I use this three-in-one fiskars corner punch in a lot of my scrapbooking projects.  It gives me three different flower corner designs in one tool.  The punch is made of durable plastic and the cutting die is metal. There is a guide that makes it easy to line up the corner just right to get the punch perfectly aligned and then all you do is press down on the top. It gives a nice...

Fiskars paper trimmers are a must have, if your into scrapbooking, card making, or any type of paper crafts.  I have two different sizes.  The smaller size will cut paper width's up to 8 ½" (22 cm) and the larger trimmer will trim paper width's up to 12" (30 cm).  Both trimmers are made of durable plastic with a clear, see-through cutting ruler.  The...

  If you read my review on the new acrylic stamps then you know you'll need a clear acrylic stamp block to hold your stamp.  You will be on your way to experiencing a revolutionary new type of rubber stamping.Since acrylic stamps come in all different shapes and sizes like the rubber wooden stamp, you have to make sure you have an acrylic surface large enough to hold your clear st...

I break the wooden handles of $10 garden shovels like they were toothpicks. So when I searched for my latest replacement garden spade, I was determined to find an indestructible garden shovel and pay whatever price was asked for it. And I found a virtually indestructible garden spade at Lowe's. The Fiskars Garden Spade features all-steel construction, and it comes with a lifetime ...

What I am reviewing is actually sold as a gardening item, but I strongly recommend this item as camping equipment. We use it with a 33 gallon garbage bag. What makes it so perfect for camping is the fact that it folds up practically flat for easy storage. We keep it in the storage compartment of our camping trailer. Ideally, it would be great to have one for garbage, and one for soda cans. They...

I really like this paper cutter because it is small, lightweight, and inexpensive. It works for cutting photos, paper, and even cardstock. I have a larger paper cutter that can cut up to 10 sheets at a time, but to be honest, I use this one more. I don't usually need to cut more than one piece at a time so it meets my needs. You can cut 2-3 sheets of cardstock if the blade is new. I us...

  Fiskars Beading Snip for Heavy Duty Cutting proves itself equal to it's name. Features include serrated edges on the 1 1/2 " blades to hold wire in place while cutting and an oversized rivet which adds an amazingly accurate cut by eliminating the gap that commonly forms between rivet and blade when used with tough materials. I have used my Fiskars Beading Snips repeatedly over s...

I love these garden shears so much, I just bought a second pair.A few years back I purchased a pair of Fiskars Grips and Holds Garden Shears to use in my garden. They never made it there. I opened the package and used them to cut something around the house and they have had a home in our junk drawer ever since. They look like a big pair of scissors but unlike regular scissors, these babies can ...

My husband and I have about two pair of Fiskars Student scissors around the house, one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen.  These scissors are pretty decent considering that they are relatively inexpensive.  Fiskars Student scissors have 6 inch stainless steel blades and have a plastic handle.  The handle can break if you cut something heavier than the scissors are meant to cu...

I do most of our gardening chores except for the mowing and the edging. One chore I actually enjoy is trimming the hedges because it gives me a chance to unleash my inner Edward Scissorhands. When we moved to our house the hedges already had a nice shape to them so all that is required is maintaining them when they have new growth.Call me old fashioned but I have tried using electric hedge...

 Since pesticides will be banned in our city starting next year, I decided to get a jump start on the ban by not applying pesticides this year. Yes, my husband and I have decided to take our lawn care into our own hands this year instead of paying a lawn service - what were we thinking! Anyhow, amongst the many things we've bought this summer for our lawn we also purchased a Fiskars St...
