Fully hardened steel blades maintain their sharpness longer and are treated with a water-based rust preventative for durability.

Cushioned grips and a shock-absorbing bumper enhance comfort during extended use, while the durable steel handles promise longevity.

Know before you buy
The handles feature a sliding locking mechanism that allows you to extend them from 26 to 33 inches. Simply unlock, slide to your desired length, and lock them back into place to reach higher or deeper into your hedges.
The Power-Lever mechanism is designed to provide twice the leverage of standard single-pivot shears. This significantly reduces the physical effort required to make cuts, making it much easier to trim thicker branches or work for longer periods without fatigue.
The blades are made from fully hardened steel and treated with a water-based rust preventative. While they are highly durable and corrosion-resistant, it is still best practice to wipe them clean and dry them after use to maintain their longevity.
Yes, the shears are designed with an ambidextrous, ergonomic grip that accommodates various hand sizes. The cushioned, soft-grip handles are intended to provide comfort and control regardless of your hand orientation.
The serrated edge of the Gator-Blade acts like a grip, holding branches firmly in place while you cut. This prevents the stems from slipping out of the blades, ensuring a clean, precise cut on the first try.
These shears weigh 3.55 pounds. While the steel construction provides necessary durability, the inclusion of a shock-absorbing bumper helps mitigate the impact on your wrists and arms during repetitive trimming tasks.
