5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price, December 12, 2006

This tool may be pricier than other hedge shears, but it is well worth the extra money, especially if you do a lot of your own manual hedge-trimming. Because of the "power gear" feature, it requires very little effort to cut through even very thick hedge branches. I had used traditional ash-handled shears before, which I purchased for half the price of these, and I ended up giving that pair away once I started using the Fiskars. The comfortable design and the fact that the shears do most of the work for you make this a great item. I was so pleased with this Fiskars purchase that I went on to buy other Fiskars gardening tools, including the PowerGear Bypass Lopper, the PowerGear Pruner, and their telescoping pole trimmer.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY, May 5, 2008

The blades are made of aluminum! ! Mine bent at the edge so that the blades hang on each other and the scissors won't close... after five cuts...! I own a pair of Fiskars loppers that have a titanium cutting blade and they are excellent but this thing is a dud.
By the way I finnished the job with my 30 years old hedge trimmers that have never once been sharpened and have to be oiled every time I use them because they are rusted to the point of being siezed every year when I use them for the first time.

I have just tried these shears and hit a dead branch which put a nick in the blades and now won't work. Don't buy these shears!
