This PowerGear II anvil model effortlessly cuts dry, hard woods up to 50 millimeters thick. With the support of the anvil, extra powerful cuts are possible due to its hook shape, which allows the branch being cut to be secured in place. This results in a precise cut. The non-stick coating of the blade reduces friction and protects the blade during the cutting process. Like all PowerGear models, this Fiskars pruning shear uses a gear mechanism. This intelligent mechanism engages when it is needed most, allowing you to make powerful, clean cuts without exerting extra force when cutting thicker branches. The EaseCut technology also contributes to even higher cutting performance. Additionally, this 70-centimeter long Fiskars pruning shear features ergonomically shaped handles with a non-slip surface. Weighing 1046 grams, it allows for effortless overhead cuts. Replacement blades and anvils are also available for this model.
