A Gardener Is Only As Sharp As His Tools by Carolyn Meiers Yard Work
A Gardener is Only as Sharp As His Tools by Carolyn Meiers Yard work is hard enough. Don’t let dull tools make it any more difficult. Hedge trimmers, scissors, grass clippers, mowers, knives, chain saws, hand saws, loppers, and pruning shears are just a few of the gardening tools that work better with a sharp edge. A professional can do the job or you may decide to do it yourself. The cost of sharpening most hand tools is less than $5, and once a year is quite adequate, depending on usage. The best time of the year is late fall, after the gardening is done. The tools won’t lose their edge, and they’ll be ready for the first jobs of spring. Missed the fall? Jump in and get it done any time of year! If you decide to sharpen your own at home, be careful! A longer file reduces the chance of accidental cuts, but it is easy to slice your hand with one missed pass on the file. Power grinders are not for the novice, and can damage the cutting edge if used improperly. Using a file, make several passes with the file away from the blunt end to improve sharpness. How many passes depends, but the average is 10 passes. Any tools used to cut grass need more attention because wet grass will quickly dull a blade. Shears and mowers are obvious tools that need an edge, but plenty of other gardening tools would work better if exposed to the sharpening file. A shovel is a good example.

Continuing Fiskars’ tradition of making things better and smarter, Fiskars PowerGear® tools feature a patented gearing mechanism that reduces effort and amplifies a user’s ability to perform garden tasks. These non-circular gears transfer the energy from a wider range of motion, maximizing force near the middle of the cut where resistance is greatest. Many of Fiskars PowerGear® garden tools carry the Arthritis Foundation® Ease-of-Use Commendation – currently the only pruners and loppers in the U.S. to carry this prestigious recognition. Key Features • Patented PowerGear® non-circular gearing technology multiplies leverage to make cutting up to three times easier than single pivot tools • The non-circular gears transfer the energy from a wider range of motion, maximizing force near the middle of the cut where resistance is greatest • The mechanical advantage PowerGear® provides means Fiskars PowerGear® tools can be lighter or smaller than single pivot tools • PowerGear® Hand Pruner handles are sculpted to fit the shape and movement of your hand • The first pruning tools on the market to have earned the Arthritis Foundation® Ease-of-Use Commendation Fiskars PowerGear® Tools • Hand Pruners PowerGear® Large Bypass Pruner (7936)* PowerGear® Bypass Pruner with GripEase™ (377361) PowerGear® Bypass Pruner (387361) • Loppers PowerGear® Bypass Lopper-31 inch (9154) PowerGear® Bypass Lopper-25 inch (9136)* PowerGear® Bypass Lopper-21 inch (9627)* PowerGear® Bypass Lopper-18 inch (9625)* PowerGear® Bypass Lopper-27 inch (9632)* PowerGear® Anvil Lopper-18 inch (9618)* PowerGear® Anvil Lopper-15 inch (7972)* • Hedge Shears PowerGear® Hedge Shears (9189)* *Carry the Ease-of-Use Commendation Fact Sheet PowerGear® More Power.
