The 1060-gram PowerGear II model fits comfortably and securely in the hand. The black lever arms are sturdy, and their orange handles with a non-slip surface allow for comfortable use of this Fiskars pruning shear. Its lightweight design enables fatigue-free operation over extended periods and even overhead. Additionally, the gearbox mechanism enhances cutting performance by optimally distributing and increasing cutting power with the same amount of effort. This allows for effortless cuts on branches up to 50 millimeters thick. The EaseCut technology further triples the cutting performance. Particularly practical about this Fiskars pruning shear is its hook-shaped lower blade, which "embraces" the branch to be cut, providing a secure grip during the cutting process. For the non-stick coated upper blade, cutting through the wood is then a breeze.
