Fiskars23-Inch Hedge Shears, Bush Trimmer with PowerGear2 Technology that Multiplies Power for Less Effort, SoftGrip Handles with Shock-Absorbing Bumpers

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.

These work great. They are smooth to operate and do NOT catch or grab onto branches or leaves. Smooth cuts and ready for the next slice each time you squeeze the handles. As someone without much arm strength, these took on a lot of the power needed to work efficiently. Definitely makes a difference to get the 3X power.

I needed something to cut down perennials in the Fall. I can cut a large swath at once which is just what I needed! Very well made!

The tool seems well-made and sturdy. The blades are sharp and they cut well. I'm not using them on a hedge, rather, long bladed leaves on some flowers my daughter planted. The Clipper handle them well, except if there is something else growing up within the leaves that is sort of 'twiggy,' then the blades get hung-up. I remember that these things used to be more robust when I was a kid. Oh well, they should get the job done, which is all that matters.

These are great trimmers for occasionally maintaining shrubs in my yard. The PowerGear action really helps you get through some surprisingly thick branches. I lopped off many willow branches that were up to about 1/2" thick with zero problems.If I were doing more frequent or more involved trimming I'd probably opt for a longer pair of trimmers to be more efficient, but these are perfect for my own basic homeowner needs

My husband loves these shears! Well made and work great.

The sturdiness of this tool is impressive. Everything I needed this tool for was a success. I was very happy that it was sharp and easy to handle. I achieved my chores with ease.

Holy hedge, Batman! The Fiskars 23-Inch Hedge Shears are like the superhero of garden tools! 💪🌿 With the PowerGear2 design, it’s like having a personal trainer for your hedges—3X more power on every cut! I’m pretty sure I could take down a small tree with these bad boys.The blades are sharper than my wit after a cup of coffee! They glide through branches like they’re made of butter. I almost felt bad for the hedges—almost.And let’s talk about the SoftGrip handles with shock-absorbing bumpers. My hands didn’t just survive the trimming session; they threw a party afterward! No more feeling like I just wrestled an octopus.If you want to feel like a hedge-trimming ninja, these shears are your secret weapon. Five stars, and I’m ready to take on the world—or at least my backyard! 🌟✂️

Bought this to replace our hedge trimmer that just didn't have enough power to do the job. Takes a while to clean up the hedges but very happy with it

Muy buena construcción y materiales, excelente diseño

Makes bush trimming fun!

This was a present for my father- he was very impressed with this make of secateurs so went with the same brand. He seems happy with them. Packaging was a little damaged in the delivery, which was a shame - though tool intact. Forest offered money back for this which was nice.

Too heavy for even lifting so unable to open and snip.
