Fiskars PowerGear Hedge Shears

"Let's conduct an experiment. Look at your hand, please. Make a fist, simulating the motion you use when you squeeze the handles on a pair of shears. See how your fingers curl into your palm? Our engineers noticed that movement, too - and crafted these astonishing shears to complement that hand's natural dynamics. Not only are they far friendlier to your body than traditional models, they also magnify your cutting strength. And wonder of wonders, they cut with speed and precision right down to the tips of the precision ground blades. Even that's not all ... the PowerGear® mechanism increases leverage to make cutting 3 times easier than single pivot shears; the fully hardened, precision ground blade holds its sharp edge longer; the blade's corrosion resistant, non stick coating reduces friction to make cutting easier; the entire 9 inch length of the blade cuts; the FiberComp™ handles, made of reinforced fiberglass composite materials, provide strength and durability; there's a shock absorbing bumper for comfort and hand protection; and these are the only hedge shears to be awarded the Arthritis Foundation® Ease-of-Use Commendation.
