The first time you try Fiskars PowerGear(R) Hedge Shears, you'll be amazed - but it's not magic, it's gears. The patented gear technology multiplies your leverage to give you up to three times more power on every cut. This means you can power through thick branches that traditional hedge shears would struggle to cut. It also means that Fiskars hedge shears can be smaller and lighter than other shears, reducing strain on your hands, wrists and muscles when you're reaching to cut a branch or have a lot of hedge shaping to do. Like many of the PowerGear(R) tools, Fiskars hedge shears have won the Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation(R). But the shears aren't just for people with arthritis - they are for anyone who appreciates tools that make work easier. | FISKARS PowerGear Hedge Shears 23"
