Know before you buy
Power-Lever technology uses a mechanical advantage system to multiply your cutting force. This allows you to trim thicker branches or dense hedges with significantly less physical effort than standard shears.
These are bypass shears, which are designed specifically for clean, precise cuts on live, green growth. They act like scissors to promote healthy plant healing, rather than crushing the stems like anvil-style pruners.
The blades feature a rust-resistant coating that helps protect the high-carbon steel from corrosion. However, to ensure the longest lifespan, it is best to wipe the blades clean and store them in a dry place after use.
Yes, the ergonomic design and soft, rubberized grips are intended to accommodate various hand sizes. The lightweight construction also helps minimize arm fatigue during extended pruning sessions, regardless of your grip strength.
Absolutely. The design is fully ambidextrous, meaning the handles and blade orientation are balanced to perform equally well whether you are left- or right-handed.
