What’s included?
When you purchase the Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears, this is exactly what you get — a pair of heavy duty steel pruning shears that incorporate a special ratcheting mechanism to allow for a heck of a lot more cutting power. Let’s take a closer look at the features below.
Overview of features
When it comes to pruning shears that incorporate modern technology to make the pruning of trees, bushes, and more much easier, these Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears are right up there with the best of them. You might think that shears are just heavy duty tree scissors, but sometimes, as is the case with these, they actually come with some really neat features to help make the job a whole lot easier.
For instance, the Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears feature a so called ratchet mechanism which helps you cut through thick and tough branches with limited power. There is a ratchet mechanism which clicks into place and locks down when you go to make a cut.
When you let go of the handle, instead of opening back up, the ratchet mechanism causes the Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears to stay closed with the current level of pressure.
The ratcheting mechanism has 5 levels and every time you squeeze the shears closed a bit more, the mechanism goes to the next level. What this means is that the Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears do most of the work for you.
This ratchet mechanism allows you cut through thick branches in a fewer goes, as opposed to having to cut through it all at once, and it also helps provide a lot more power to make it through thick and tough branches with minimal power being expended on your end. These shears can produce up to 5 times more cutting power than shears which do not have this ratchet mechanism.
Moreover, the Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears are built to last, as the whole thing is made out of hardened steel from top to bottom. The blades are tough, they won’t bend, and they are sharp enough to make their way through virtually anything.
What’s also pretty cool is that the blades are coated with a non-stick material to help them glide through any obstacle. Yes, they are made of hardened steel, so they are not exactly lightweight, but they are well-balanced.
Also, they are very ergonomically designed, not only in terms of balance, but also in terms of the handle design.
The Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears are very comfy and easy to hold, and they also come with a bit of padding on the handle to reduce pain and fatigue, plus this padding also helps provide a bit of extra grip for safety and stability. These shears also have a lock to ensure that they stay closed when not in use.
Tutorial
Using the Power Drive Ratchet Anvil Hand Pruning Shears is not very hard. Simply select a branch and begin the cut. You will feel the ratchet mechanism click into place. Then simply keep squeezing until the cut has been made. It really doesn’t get easier than that.
