Our Power-Lever? Hedge Shears feature compound lever technology that multiplies your leverage to give you up to two times more cutting power than traditional single-pivot shears. To make high hard-to-reach or awkward cuts easy these shears also include handles that extend and lock securely. Fully hardened precision-ground steel blades feature a serrated edge to grip while cutting and a patented self-sharpening design ensures that every cut is clean and crisp. A rust-resistant low-friction coating makes every cut even easier shock-absorbing bumpers absorb jarring vibrations and durable steel handles with non-slip grips offer control.?
