The Fiskars PowerGear2 Pruner uses patented gear technology to multiply your leverage and give you up to 3X more power on every cut — so you can power through tough stems and branches up to 3/4" in diameter that would stop a traditional pruner cold. The innovative design pairs modified gears with a cam mechanism that concentrates your cutting force through the middle of the branch, right where the wood is thickest. A fully hardened bypass-style steel blade with a low-friction coating glides through wood cleanly, resists sap gumming, and fights rust for seasons of reliable use. The contoured, rolling handle is engineered to follow the natural motion of your hand, reducing grip fatigue even after extended sessions in the garden. Backed by a Fiskars limited lifetime warranty.

What is the maximum branch diameter this pruner can cut?
The Fiskars PowerGear2 Pruner (391041-1001) is rated for branches and stems up to 3/4" in diameter.
For larger branches — up to 2" — consider pairing it with a Fiskars PowerGear2 lopper for a complete pruning kit.
What type of pruner is the PowerGear2 — bypass or anvil?
It is a bypass pruner, meaning the blade passes alongside the counter blade like a pair of scissors, making a clean, precise cut that is ideal for live, green stems and branches.
Bypass pruners are generally preferred for living plants because they cause less tissue damage than anvil-style pruners, promoting faster healing.
How do I maintain the blade to keep it cutting cleanly?
After each use, wipe the blade clean of sap and debris with a cloth. Periodically apply a light coat of oil to the blade pivot and spring to keep the action smooth.
The low-friction coating helps resist sap buildup, but a quick wipe-down after cutting resinous plants like conifers will significantly extend blade life and cutting performance.
Does this pruner come with a warranty?
Yes. The Fiskars PowerGear2 Pruner is backed by a Fiskars limited lifetime warranty.
