The first time you try Fiskars PowerGear2 Softgrip Pruner, you'll be amazed, but it's not magic, it's gears. The patented gear technology multiplies your leverage to give you up to three times more power on every cut. This means you can power through tough stems and branches that you wouldn't be able to cut with traditional pruners. For easy, comfortable pruning, this pruner also includes a contoured handle with a unique rolling design that fits the shape and natural motion of your hand for comfortable use and reduced hand fatigue. The handles also have Softgrip touchpoints for a more comfortable, secure grip. The updated, patent-pending design includes modified gears and an innovative cam mechanism to optimize your cutting power in the middle of the cut where the branch is thickest and you need it most. The fully hardened steel blade stays sharp, even through heavy use. The low-friction coating helps the blade glide through wood, prevents the blade from gumming up with sap and debris and helps the blade resist rust. Rugged DuraFrame construction provides superior strength and reduced weight. The result is that every cut is even easier than Fiskars' original PowerGear cutting tools. An easy-open lock protects the blade during transport and storage. Bypass blade style. Maximum cutting capacity: 3/4 in. diameter. Model: 392791-1001.
