Fiskars 23-Inch Power-Lever Hedge Shears, Self-Sharpening Precision-Ground Steel Blades, For Trimming/Shaping Hedges and Shrubs in Your Garden, Lawn and Yard Tools, Black/Orange

Sharps and works well

I got these because I love the brand, Fiskars. Quality, I have several of their products including the almost legendary orange scissors!They are very well made, solid, and easy to hold, which is important . So far they have held up well, with no rusting.

The media could not be loaded. The FISKARS Powergear-2 Hedge Shears arrived promptly and were just as described online. As you can see from my photos, all of my manual garden cutting tools are of the FISKARS brand. That’s because I have used this brand of tool for many years, along with other brands of garden shears. FISKARS shears and tools have out-performed and outlasted all other brands consistently over many years. In fact, they may one day be passed on to my grown children as the sturdiest, most durable and most precise garden shears ever made.I chose this particular Powergear-2 hedge cutting shears primarily for their lightweight feature. They are comfortable to hold and maneuver in tight sports. They operate smoothly and efficiently and reliably. My other FISKARS cutting tools are heavier and some have very useful, extendable handles that allow me to trim large and tall bushes and hedges. Some allow me to cut very thick branches easily.I have been using these lightweight shears weekly on extensive, full-grown plantings for almost two months now. They are very sharp, easy to manipulate and cut cleanly all of the time. They are designed for thin branches on hedges and shrubs. They are particularly useful for tall bushes and hedges where I have to reach over my head to trim for long periods of time. Their light weight and clean cutting ability is a definite asset in such situations. Yes, I do have electric hedge cutters, but I rarely use them. I prefer the precise shaping ability that these FISKARS shears alone provide.The shears are an excellent value at $31. I am confident that they will provide years of use, based on current and past experience. They are a real bargain when you consider the high cost that professional landscapers charge. With these excellent shears, I can manage my own yard professionally at a small fraction of the cost.Enjoy!Highly Recommended.

I needed something to trim small area of weeds poking out over top of low arborvitae. As an older woman it’s a little heavy but for a 15 minute trim was okay. It made the job much easier for me with the added length over my little hand pruner I used previously. Price was reasonable, I’m very pleased with this purchase.

These are very sharp and makes yard work a whole lot easier.

We've used this numerous times and still pruning well.

Finally used these on an over grown 125 feet of chain link fence. Some of the vines are very tough and about 1 inch, no problem, but I didn’t push them beyond 1 inch. Sharpness made the job go much more smoothly and the blades self sharp as you use them. Not too heavy and just works as long as you are up for the job.

I have taken it upon myself to do the whole garden of my new home. These things are genius and sharp! I had to cut out a lot of ruts and this product probably saved me hours! Love love it ! Just be careful really sharp
