Featuring PowerArc? technology, the Fiskars? pro pruner boasts intelligently curved blades for 20% easier cuts through stems and light branches. A cast aluminum handle ensures ultimate durability, while thicker, hogh carbon speed blades stay sharp longer for reliable, long-lasting performance. Covered with a non-stick coating to help reduce cut force, these blades are also easy to sharpen and replace. A superior ergonomic design includes secure, shock reducing bumpers that lessen impact, while a high-visibility, Softgrip? handle enhances comfort and control. Multiple grip positions on the handle, as well as springs that open the blade after every cut, combine to help reduce hand fatigue. Additionally, a smaller, secondary lock setting helps prevent you from overextending the handle, allowing you to make quicker, easier cuts on small growth. The simple, heavy-duty construction of these pruners makes them a reliable choice for daily, quality performance under all conditions.
