Bought this for $50 a couple months ago and it has been great. Been using it to trim branches for kindling.
Looks like price has quietly been reduced.
Really good quality so worth the price.

Most of their stuff now is
Their cheaper stuff is but the more expensive gear is still made in Finland - or Portugal. Some items made in Taiwan.
I wouldn't buy it if made in China.
I had Fiskars 4 Prongs Xact Weed Puller made in Poland and claims to have 25 years warranty. It refused to work 2 months after purchased from local Bunnings…. Any thoughts?
@TripleJJJ: I got one of this too. Useful and save my back troubling. Can't see anything wrong with the product.

Im confused so if made in china will you buy it or not?
No one cares whether you’d buy it or not
@louuisc: Indeed they don't - as it would be for what you'd buy or not buy. Why should they?
Your post is somewhat ridiculous though as half of what's written on this website is about buying choices. Why bother being on here? It's basically all just opinion champ!
Bizarre.
OP's item cuts well according to the reviews.
Stereotype reviews just doesn't cut it :)
It does the job
I have these. Work well, no idea where they are made, I selected in store based on build quality, the action etc.
I really want to know why people downvote on legit question on where this item was manufacture. Good to know that China is pumping out good quality stuff.
How do you know it's made in China?
I have a pair of Fiskars cutters that were not made in China
Isn't almost everything made in China these days?
coronary bypass?
appears to be out of stock now when I just checked - not available for in store, click and collect OR delivery
I just ordered one for pick-up so maybe change your nominated store?
Same problem until I set my local store which had it in stock and then I could purchase one. (postcode 3844, VIC)
I apologise - my error
(how can I hide this admission from my wife who also frequents OzBargain?)
can enough people neg this comment to make it disappear? :)
Thanks OP.
If it lasts as long as my Fiskas secateurs I'll be happy.
i got this last year for $50 as well…its a good tool. not heavy, good reach, works well
25 year guarantee tooAlso have one ., Left out in the rain a number of times and is still going strong . Recommended .
nice….make sure you keep your receipt though ;)
Shows OOS, but all options (C&C, Delivery) available once you sign in.
Are these good for fingers and toes?
Sick of people playing with you?
Kids have been dissing me.
Calculators in everyone’s pockets was the final nail :(
Yes. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes.
Knees and toes
And eyes, and ears, and mouth, and nose
You meant overgrown toenails and fingernails?
You want a toe? I can get you a toe
Still in stock for me (TAS)
Thought it was a hair straightener from the thumbnail…
I think Bunnings must have changed their website recently. Everything was showing out of stock online and instore for me a few days back. I had to set my local store (again) in a slightly different way from memory, which seems to have worked, although it did seem to take a couple of attempts. I don't have an account.
They have indeed. I spoke to an employee he said it has been a nightmare for them, a lot of issues with incorrect stock
Not so bad. I waited 70 minutes on phone to Westpac today and they couldn't help me.
Yeah, not the best place to call when you want to know about stock at Bunnings.
Must be using the K mart system
Will the work well for bamboo?
does up to 40mm from memory…makes short work of anything ive used it on (mandarin tree, grape fruit tree, bay tree, rose branches etc)
if it can cut tree branches/wood i reckon it will tear thru bambooCheers, feels like that video was made specifically for me! I'm sold.
I don't know what size this one is, but I use the large version of this for bamboo up to 2" in diameter.
27.55 with powerpass :-P
do you buy it in-store or online click and collect?
if you have powerpass you can buy in store or click and collect.
I can't find anywhere to add the card online
@RichardF89: you mean add powerpass? You need to register your powerpass account, this one is different to the normal website. You can find it here https://www.bunnings.com.au/trade
@mmcs: I have always been wondering how to order online with powerpass. That trade website seems to be for quotation only and after you have placed an "order" someone from the store would have to call you to draft up the order, take your payment and send it through. Am I missing something? Why doesn't it allow you to simply place an order online and pay with your credit card as the regular one?
@truetypezk: Last time when I bought with trade online, they sent an sms to let me know that order is ready for collect. So basically, it is the same as their normal online store, except you'll get ~5% off the shelf price. You can choose to pay online immediately or in-store when pick it up.
@mmcs: Is your powerpass on a credit account or just the discount card type? I can't find an option to pay online.
@truetypezk: All I can do is "Add To Enquiry" and make a shopping list.
There's no cart or checkout on the trade site for me…@Nom: They've even added the following:
Submitted enquiries will be finalised and confirmed by a Bunnings Team Member. All enquiries are subject to availability of supply and your account will not be charged until goods have been dispatched. Enquiries that require weekend pickup or delivery are subject to product and transport availability. Paid enquiries (orders) will be finalised at the point of submission online. Should there be an issue with the order, a Bunnings Team Member will be in contact with you.
I guess they have made the changes due to covid. Their choice of the word "enquiry" seems really peculiar to me though.
@mmcs: I just tried again, seems they have added the option of online payment now. It used to be only able to "submit enquiry" and wait for someone to call. I haven't been trying to buy online for quite a while so thanks for the updates:)
Also a tip for those trying to sign up for the powerpass in VIC, just change your state on the bunnings registration powerpass website because they have made a drop down and disabled new VIC registrations due to the lockdown.
Thanks pooman
Appropriate for haircut?
More appropriate for head cut
Maximum thickness 40mm…. That’ll do
Thanks OP
Nice, got one C&C. My 6yr old Aldi one still works but due replacement
Had one of this for over 10 years. The BEST.
Thank you OP
Bought one
Cheers, picked one up. Will come in handy when we clear out new growth along the track on the 2.5 acres of bush at the back of our property
Get hard at it with a D-9 Cat.
snagged one
Nice bit of gear. Be warned - blade will suffer if you use it on dry dead wood. Works like a charm on green wood though - ours has done several cubic meters of to date. Very happy with mine, and the blade is replaceable.
Bought 1, don’t need 1
Bought one and I live in an apartment and have no garden… 🤦
Thanks grabbed one for whenever I find out I need one.
Perfect, we have a brit milah coming up that would have been otherwise impossible with these lockdowns
Mazal Tov!
Use your powerpass and save another $1.5.
what powerpass?
Bunnings trade card
I've had reasonable experience with Fiskars tools in the past, but if you want a pair of loppers that last a lifetime with heavy use, you can't go past Wolf Garten: https://www.wolfgarten.com.au/products/orchards-shrubs.html?…. The design and build quality of their loppers is excellent and reflects where they are made (Germany). Their loppers cut through thick branches with ease and feel very comfortable to use, even after repeated use throughout the day. The loppers are easy to service, parts are easy to get (if you ever need them) and customer service is first rate (they sent me a replacement part at no cost after many years of use and abuse, no questions asked). Of course, Wolf Garten is more expensive (in the short term), but I've found that the added cost pays off in the long-run if you're a heavy user. Whenever I use any other loppers now, I just feel disappointed.
You must love your loppers.
Not very handy for the zombie apocalypse though. Would have to be a very patient and understanding Zed to allow you to chop him with this.
Great product. Bought the last item a few days ago in Thornleigh, NSW.
Have just seen Bunnings has a similar Lopper/Pruner set for $29. Looks like slightly different models, so not sure which is better
This one has the powergear2 mechanism for 3x cutting strength, suited to cutting thickier branches. The one you saw has the basic cutting mechanism, will require more strength from you to cut same branch but includes a pruner.
