Highlights
Quality
These are sturdy sharp easy to use and have comfortable grips
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
They are not made and do not cut thick branches
A simple ladder and these shears quickly take bothersome ‘ shoots’ without grabbing your trimmer
Price
The shears are an excellent value at 31
With these excellent shears i can manage my own yard professionally at a small fraction of the cost
Bought a cheap is pruning shares first
Amazon price was a lot less expensive than home depot
Shipping
The fiskars powergear2 hedge shears arrived promptly and were just as described online
Packaging/appearance
For the reviewer who had trouble taking the plastic packaging off you are dead wrong for unscrewing the bolt
Im glad i gave it to my husband to open because i wasnt sure
Competitiveness
That’s because i have used this brand of tool for many years along with other brands of garden shears
