Patented gearing technology makes cutting three times easier!

PowerGear large bypass prunner has a 3/4-inch cutting capacity. .View larger.

The PowerGear 7936 large pruner is designed to maximize your cutting power when pruning living plants.  Fiskars larger pruner features patented gearing technology that multiplies force in the middle of the cut where resistance is greatest. This makes every cut three times easier than traditional single-pivot tools. It has helped many of the PowerGear tools earn the Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation. Razor-sharp, precision-ground blades cut with less resistance than thicker blades and stay sharp longer, and a rust-resistant, low-friction coating makes every cut even easier. Additionally, ergonomically designed DuraFrame handles fit your hand comfortably and offer excellent durability. The 7936 larger pruner includes a lifetime warranty. PowerGear tools have earned the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation for a design that’s easy-to-use for people limited by arthritis Patented PowerGear non-circular gearing technology multiplies leverage to make cutting up to three times easier than single-pivot tools The razor-sharp, precision-ground blade on this pruner cuts with less resistance than thicker blades and stay sharp for lasting value Rust-resistant, low-friction coating helps blades glide through wood and prevents the blades from gumming up with sap and debris Ultra-tough DuraFrame handles are ergonomically curved to fit the shape and natural motion of the hand comfortably

PowerGear 7936 large bypass prunner has a lightweight stronger-than-steel DuraFrame. . View larger.

Product Description

This lightweight cutting tool is stronger and more powerful than virtually any pruner you've ever used, and it's been awarded the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation for superior ergonomics. Our patented PowerGear technology multiplies cutting force by nearly three times over single-pivot tools, and the smooth action eliminates the jarring conclusion at the end of cuts. Precision-ground blades stay razor sharp after multiple cuts and won't rust. A non-stick blade coating reduces friction to make cutting easier. Bypass blade design with a 3/4" cutting capacity is an excellent choice for cutting dry, dead growth. Lifetime warranty.

No blisters and a lot less hand cramps with large jobs or long hours. I was surprised it really made that much difference. 55 of 56 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good, July 25, 2003 By  Amy Button "lil-m-moses" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)    Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Fiskars 7936 PowerGear Pruner (Lawn & Patio) We just bought our first house, and along with it a few trees, a lot of shrubs, and a couple dozen rosebushes, so I needed something good and easy-to-use. After sampling the options in the local hardware store, I decided these were the most comfortable, easiest to use, and seemingly best mechanism of the bunch. I've only been working with them for a month, but they're performing well so far. The hold-closed latch is easy and well-placed (though it is easy to pop it unlatched if you stuff the clippers in your back pocket), the grip width is adjustable with a set screw (so small hands don't have to suffer), and the blade spread is admirable for a hand-held pruner (though adjusting the grip width does take a little off the blade spread too). The spring and other critical mechanical components are well shielded, so you won't be gumming them up with debris easily. It cuts through the rose pruning like butter and even gets through thick woody dead stuff with only a little effort. The rotating handle makes a huge difference in the comfort level, especially when cutting the the thick woody stuff. They say buy the best you can afford, and these certainly seemed like the best option to me, and they weren't even that expensive. Certainly better to buy one pair of good pruners instead of three bad ones. 36 of 37 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome pruners!, August 12, 2002 By  Karen L.

Most Recent Customer Reviews 5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and Easy These shears arrived very quickly and were of the quality described. The handle is an unusual design and rolls to make a cut. Read more Published 10 days ago by seamus 2.0 out of 5 stars DON'T BUY IF YOU ARE LEFT-HANDED!! The action seems fairly smooth, but it does NOT work for the left hand, since the action rotates. If you are lefty, DON'T BUY THIS - it will be anti-ergonomic.
