The best Fiskars secateurs, compared.
Top pick: Fiskars 91095935 bypass – Joint highest listing score, with 4.5 from 50,685 reviews, the largest sample in this set. Best value: Fiskars P321 Solid M – About £7.20 for fresh wood up to 2 cm, at the same 4.5 listing score as the dearer Solid L and the classic. Updated 22.10.2026.
Fiskars secateurs on amazon.co.uk are one-handed pruners for stems, mainly for roses, shrubs and deadheading. Choose the head first: bypass for fresh green wood, anvil for dry hard wood, then the hand, any gear and the price. Stay inside a stated diameter, and check whether the review file is from the United Kingdom. The Fiskars UK X page limits those pruners to 2 cm. Head, hand, gear and budget are set out in the [Fiskars secateurs buying guide](/hub/garden-tree-and-hedge-shears/fiskars-secateurs/sub/fiskars-secateurs-buying-guide). The P941 is the only anvil, and the listing says it is not for fresh green growth. The classic listing never says fresh or dry. Use the lower diameter when the listing disagrees with itself or with the brand page. The classic field is 0.63 inches, and a bullet says 5/8 inch, about 16 mm. The title says up to 2.5 cm, while the attribute and a bullet say 1 inch. If you bear down, twist, or take several bites, the stem is too thick.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you cutting?
The Fiskars 91095935 bypass is listed at £16 for stems and light branches, with a cutting-width field of 0.63 inches and a bullet that says 5/8 inch, and it does not say whether the wood should be fresh or dry. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.5 from 50,685 reviews, the largest sample in this set, and UK texts praise sharp cuts on roses and smaller apple-tree branches, a recessed spring, and a grip some buyers with arthritis or smaller hands found easier than a previous Spear and Jackson pair. The easy-open lock is liked when it works, and the listing warns that international products have separate terms and are sold from abroad. A repeated complaint is that the return spring stops reopening the blades, so you pull them apart by hand, and that the lock will not release or locks after every cut. Blades that splay and stop cutting also come up, as does a need to sharpen sooner than an older Fiskars. The warranty attribute is blank, so the review depth does not replace a year count on the page. It is the top pick here on that review sample at the joint highest listing score, if you can live with the spring, the lock and the missing warranty year.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Roses and light branches around 5/8 inch when you want the longest-running bypass in this set and can accept a blank warranty field.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a stated warranty year, or who cannot work around a spring and lock that stick.
Specifications
Common questions
What diameter does the classic listing state?
The cutting-width field is 0.63 inches. A bullet says 5/8 inch diameter, about 16 mm. There is no fresh-versus-dry sentence.
Does it name a lock and a warranty year?
It names an easy-open lock. The warranty attribute has no year. The bullets warn that international products have separate terms and are sold from abroad.
Are the reviews in this file from the UK?
The review blocks include United Kingdom text. The star line is 4.5 from 50,685 on the amazon.co.uk listing. That count is this listing, not the current X-series.
The Fiskars P321 Solid M is a 167 g bypass pruner listed at £7.20 for fresh branches, twigs and roses up to 2 cm, and the listing says it is not for dry, hard twigs. Across 1,766 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.5, and buyers describe a light pair that is sharp enough for occasional cuts rather than heavy wood. The named lock is praised when it stays open, though a repeated complaint is that the safety clip snaps the blades shut during a cut and stops one-handed use. One UK buyer said the handles stick and can nip the hand unless thick gloves are worn, and another reported the plastic handle cover snapping when a thick stem was forced. The attribute row calls the handle stainless steel while the bullets say glass-fibre SoftGrip, so read both lines before you assume a metal grip. Maintenance kit 1001640 is sold separately, and the attribute warranty is 2 years, which covers defects rather than everyday wear. It is the best value in this set for light green work at the same listing score as the dearer Solid L and the classic, not a geared cutter for dry wood.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Light deadheading and fresh stems up to 2 cm when you want a low-priced pair with a named lock.
Less suitable: Dry hard wood, thicker stems that need a gear, or a long session if the lock keeps closing on you.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the P321 listing say it will cut?
Fresh branches, twigs, rose bushes or ornamental plants up to 2 cm. The listing says it is not suitable for dry and hard twigs.
Does the listing name a lock?
Yes. It names a locking mechanism for transport and storage. Buyers say that clip can also snap the blades shut during a cut.
What warranty does the attribute table give?
2 years. Spare-part availability is listed as 1 year in the EU. Maintenance kit 1001640 is sold separately. The 2-year figure is for defects, not everyday wear.
The Fiskars P341 Solid L is a 172 g bypass at £8.17, and the bullets limit it to fresh wood up to 2 cm while the attribute table has no cutting-width figure. It scores 4.5 from 701 reviews, with praise for sharp cuts on flowers, shrubs and deadheading, and for a lock that works one-handed. Buyers treat it as the lighter Solid they keep beside a heavier tool, and one UK reviewer cut brambles over 1/2 inch. The push lock can engage by accident while you are cutting, which is the same interruption the smaller P321 draws. Non-UK reviews in the same file mention rust on the blade and spring after damp shed storage, a lock that will not hold, and a pair that split on a rose, so those lines are not a British count. It costs about a pound more than the P321 without a gear or a wider stated cut, so the extra is mostly the 20.5 cm body. The 2-year attribute warranty matches the smaller Solid, and kit 1001640 is still sold separately.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Flowers, shrubs and light green wood when you want the longer Solid body rather than the M.
Less suitable: Dry hard wood, or heavy pruning where you already know you want a gear.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a cutting width in the P341 attribute table?
No. The attribute table has no cutting-width figure. The bullets say up to 2 cm diameter, for fresh wood, and not for dry and hard twigs.
Does the listing name a lock?
Yes. It names a locking mechanism for safe transport and storage. The push lock can also engage by accident during a cut.
What warranty does the attribute table give?
2 years, with 1 year EU spare-part availability. Kit 1001640 is sold separately.
The Fiskars DualAction 392681 is a bypass at £41.25 with a switch between S for precise cuts and L for thicker branches, and the title says up to 2.5 cm while the attribute and a bullet say 1 inch. The amazon.co.uk star line is 4.5 from 107, but the 50 review blocks in the file are headed United States, so they are not a British sample. Those US reviewers praise two modes, a low-friction blade and a rotating grip for less repeated squeeze on apple trees, dahlias and garden stems. They also say the stretch is too wide for small or arthritic hands, that blades misaligned or went dull after a handful of large-mode cuts, and that a branch of about 0.5 inch bent one tool apart. A lock is not named in the bullets, though US reviews describe one, and the warranty text points at a US page with no year count. At more than twice the P961 price you are paying for the mode switch, not for UK review text or a single agreed diameter. Keep the two capacity lines separate, and do not treat this as the default rose pruner in the set.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A bypass with a mode switch, if you accept clashing capacity lines and US-headed reviews.
Less suitable: A small or tiring hand, or anyone who wants UK review text and one stated diameter.
Specifications
Common questions
What capacity does the DualAction listing print?
The title says stems and branches up to 2.5 cm. The cutting-width attribute is 1 inch, and a bullet says up to 1 inch. Those figures are both on the listing. Do not merge them.
Where are the review blocks from?
The 50 review blocks in the saved listing are headed United States. There is no United Kingdom review block in that file. The star line on the amazon.co.uk listing is still 4.5 from 107.
What warranty text is in the attribute table?
It points at a US warranty page and gives no year count. A lock is not named in the bullets. US reviews describe a lock and a mode switch.
The Fiskars P961 PowerGear bypass is £19.06, 222 g, and listed for fresh branches, roses and ornamentals, not for dry hard twigs, with a cutting-width field of 2.6 cm and a line that it is for medium to large hands. Across 1,013 amazon.co.uk reviews the score is 4.4, and buyers credit the rolling handle with making thicker fresh stems easier and with less strain, including people who mention arthritis. Several call the blades sharp and say they are replacing older Fiskars or Wilkinson Sword pairs they had used for years. The return spring is the common complaint: handles that will not open after a cut, so a second hand has to pull them apart. One buyer with a smaller hand said this L size is only for large hands, unlike an older PX92, and others report blades that fail to meet or catch before the cut finishes. A lock is not named in the bullets, though some reviewers mention an easy lock, and the UK brand page caps PowerGear X pruners at 2 cm rather than the 2.6 cm field. The 25-year attribute is the same limited European cover as on the anvil, not a promise the spring will last. It is the geared fresh-wood choice in this set when your hand fills the L grip, and the wrong order if the wood is dry or the hand is small.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Fresh stems on roses and shrubs when your hand is medium or large and you want a rolling handle.
Less suitable: Small hands, dry hard wood, or anyone who needs a lock named in the specification.
Specifications
Common questions
What wood is the P961 for?
Fresh branches, twigs, rose bushes or ornamental plants. The listing says it is not suitable for dry and hard twigs, and that it is for medium to large hands.
Does the listing name a lock?
No. A named lock is not in the bullets. The mechanism lines name PowerGear and a rolling handle. Some reviewers mention an easy lock, which is a review note, not a specification.
What warranty figure is in the attribute table?
25 years, plus 1 year EU spare-part availability. The cutting blade can be resharpened and replaced. Kit 1001640 is sold separately. The Fiskars UK FAQ does not treat that figure as cover against wear.
The Fiskars P941 PowerGear anvil is listed at £18.14 for dry, hard twigs, with a bullet of up to 2.6 cm and a clear line that it is not for fresh green growth. It weighs 221 g, scores 4.4 from 282 reviews, and UK buyers say the rolling handle feels odd at first and then easier on a weak grip, including comments about arthritis that are experience rather than a medical result. The gear is praised for bamboo and thick dry twigs with less pressure, though one UK buyer found it less powerful on thicker woody stems than the claim suggested. A catch that stops working after a few uses, an edge lost halfway through a season, and a cut that stops short of the anvil so the stem hangs are the recurring faults. The bullets do not name a lock, even though one UK review praises an easy lock, and the Fiskars UK PowerGear page limits those pruners to 2 cm, which is below the 2.6 cm bullet. The attribute says 25 years, while the Fiskars UK FAQ says there is no lifetime guarantee in Europe and that cover is for defects in workmanship and materials, not wear. Use it on dry wood inside the lower figure, not on roses.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Dry, hard twigs when you want a rolling handle and you will stay inside the lower stated diameter.
Less suitable: Live roses and shrubs, or a small hand that cannot fill the L grip.
Specifications
Common questions
What wood is the P941 for?
Dry and hard twigs and branches. The bullets say up to 2.6 cm, and that it is not suitable for cutting fresh green growth. There is no cutting-width attribute. The Fiskars UK PowerGear X page limits those pruners to 2 cm.
Does the listing name a lock?
Not in the bullets. One UK review praises an easy lock. That is a review signal, not a specification.
What warranty figure is in the attribute table?
25 years, plus 1 year EU spare-part availability. The blade can be resharpened and replaced. Kit 1001640 is sold separately. The UK FAQ limits European cover to defects, not wear.
This page compares six Fiskars secateurs on amazon.co.uk. Prices, stars and review counts are the listing lines used for this set. There is no laboratory test and no claim of a best secateur in Britain. Listing scores start from the amazon.co.uk star line, then add points when the listing states a head and a wood use, and when a lock is named. Points come off when the warranty year is missing or the capacity lines clash, and the DualAction review blocks in the file are headed United States. The top pick is the classic bypass, on the joint highest listing score and the largest review sample. The best value is the P321 Solid M, at the same listing score for light green wood at about £7.20. The weights below sum to 100. They are the order used to read these listings.
Head and wood
30%Bypass for fresh green wood, anvil for dry hard wood. The P941 listing says it is not for fresh green growth. Solid pairs and the P961 say they are not for dry, hard twigs. The classic listing does not make that split.
Stated diameter
25%Use the lower figure when the listing or the Fiskars UK PowerGear X page disagrees. That UK page limits PowerGear X pruners to 2 cm. The P941 and P961 listings print 2.6 cm. DualAction prints 2.5 cm in the title and 1 inch in the attribute.
Hand
15%All six listings say ambidextrous. That is not a left-blade bypass. The P961 is stated for medium to large hands. A small hand is a reason to skip that L grip.
Mechanism and lock
15%Solid names no gear. P961 and P941 name PowerGear and a rolling handle. DualAction switches S and L. A named lock scores; a lock that is not in the bullets does not. These files state no force multiple.
Price and warranty words
15%Shelf price is the amazon.co.uk line, and offers move. A 25-year attribute is the figure on the page. The Fiskars UK FAQ says there is no lifetime guarantee in Europe, and cover is for defects in workmanship and materials, not wear.
Choose the wood before the model name. Bypass and anvil are different heads, a 2.6 cm bullet is not the same limit as the UK brand page, and a 25-year attribute is not cover against wear. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk lines used for this set.
A Fiskars secateur in this set is a one-handed pruner for stems. Bypass is the head for live green wood: the P321, the P341, the P961, the classic 91095935 and DualAction. The P941 is the only anvil, and the listing says it is not for fresh green growth. The Solid pairs and the P961 are not for dry, hard twigs. The classic listing never says fresh or dry. Use the lower diameter when the listing disagrees with itself or with the brand page. The P321 states 2 cm.
The P941 listing is for dry, hard twigs and says it is not for fresh green growth. Deadheading wants a Solid bypass, not that anvil.
The P941 bullet and the P961 field say 2.6 cm. The Fiskars UK PowerGear X page limits those pruners to 2 cm. Stay inside the lower figure. If you bear down or take several bites, the stem is too thick.
DualAction's 4.5 from 107 is the amazon.co.uk star line, and the review blocks in that file are headed United States. The classic listing's 50,685 reviews belong to the 91095935, not to the current X-series.
Pick the head from the wood, not from the badge. Bypass suits live stems: the P321 and P341 Solid pairs, the P961 PowerGear bypass, the classic 91095935 and DualAction. The P941 is the only anvil in this set. Its bullets say dry and hard twigs, up to 2.6 cm, and not fresh green growth. Solid pairs and the P961 say the opposite exclusion: not for dry, hard twigs.
A stated cut is a limit you stay inside, and the lower figure wins when lines clash. The P321 field is 2 cm. The P341 bullets say up to 2 cm and the attribute table is silent. The classic field is 0.63 inches and a bullet says 5/8 inch, about 16 mm. The P961 field and the P941 bullet say 2.6 cm, while the Fiskars UK PowerGear X page limits those pruners to 2 cm. DualAction prints up to 2.5 cm in the title and 1 inch in the attribute. These six files state no force multiple. Solid names no gear.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are cutting fresh roses, flowers and thin green stems, and you want a low price with a named lock. The P321 Solid M is 167 g, about £7.20, bypass, stated to 2 cm, at 4.5 from 1,766 reviews. The listing says it is not for dry, hard twigs, and buyers report the safety clip closing during a cut.
You want the bypass with the deepest amazon.co.uk file in this set. The classic 91095935 is about £16, at 4.5 from 50,685 reviews, for stems and light branches around 5/8 inch. It does not say fresh or dry, the warranty year is blank, and the return spring often fails to reopen the blades.
You want a rolling handle for fresh stems, and your hand is medium or large. The P961 PowerGear bypass is about £19.06, 222 g, at 4.4 from 1,013 reviews. It is not for dry hard twigs, a lock is not named, and the UK brand page caps PowerGear X pruners at 2 cm. This is not a medical claim.
The top pick is the Fiskars 91095935 bypass at about £16, with 4.5 from 50,685 amazon.co.uk reviews, the deepest sample in this set, for stems and light branches. The listing does not say fresh or dry, the warranty year is blank, and reviews often describe a return spring that stops reopening the blades. The best value is the P321 Solid M at about £7.20, 167 g, for fresh wood up to 2 cm, at 4.5 from 1,766 reviews. It is not for dry hard twigs, and buyers say the safety clip can close during a cut. A 25-year attribute on the PowerGear pairs is not a UK guarantee against wear.
