These PowerGear II bypass gear pruning shears are ideal for cutting fresh branches, hedges and bushes. The model is 45 centimetres long and weighs a feather-light 490 grams. The low weight of these Fiskars pruning shears enables fatigue-free cutting, even for long periods of use. Gardening with this model is great fun because it is easy to use. This tool utilises EaseCut technology, which increases the cutting performance threefold. In addition, you cut using the gear mechanism, which engages at the right time and increases the cutting performance without you having to use more force. This allows you to cut wood up to 38 millimetres thick without any effort. The lower blade in the form of a hook holds the branch securely. The non-stick coated upper blade glides through the wood with ease and cuts the branch cleanly. A special feature of the upper blade is its durability - it retains its sharpness even if it is used frequently.
