The first time you try Fiskars PowerGear(R) Super Pruner/Lopper, you'll be amazed - but it's not magic, it's gears. Fiskars 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 you wouldn't be able to cut with traditional pruners and loppers. It also means that the Super Pruner can be smaller and lighter than other loppers, reducing strain on your hands, wrists and muscles when you're reaching to cut a branch or have a lot of branches to cut. Like many of Fiskars PowerGear(R) tools, the Super Pruner has won the Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation(R). But it's not just for people with arthritis - it's for anyone who appreciates tools that make work easier.(R) | FISKARS Super Pruner/Lopper
