Newly redesigned and improved for 2012, the advanced design of our PowerGear Hedge Shears makes cutting easier while reducing hand fatigue. It features our patented PowerGear gearing mechanism to multiply your cutting force near the middle of the cut where resistance is greatest. This makes cutting three times easier than single-pivot hedge shears. Razor-sharp, precision-ground blades stay sharp, and a rust-resistant, low-friction coating makes every cut even easier. In addition, the DuraFrame handles are stronger than steel but still light to make our hedge shears easier to grip, carry and maneuver when cutting at awkward angles. PowerGear Hedge Shears include a lifetime warranty.
