Serrated Blade with Cutting Notch
A lot of hedge shears have smooth blades. Not so this sturdy tool. At 3.2 pounds it is the heftiest of the tools we tested, and likewise the strongest.

The approximately 9-inch leading blade has serrations to hold the branches, and a non-stick finishing. It likewise features a limb notch for cutting branches up to 5/8 in. thick.

The bottom blade is smooth, and uncoated.

Blades are made from carbon steel and can be easily sharpened with a metal file or honing stone.

Extendable Handles
The manages of these hedge shears extend, adding about 8 1/2 inches to the reach of the tool. This can be a substantial advantage in cutting down a six- to seven-foot personal privacy hedge. With the deals with completely extended, the shears reach to a bit more than three feet.

If you do not require the handles absolutely extended, an easy-to-operate flip tab locks them at any length you desire.

This power, nevertheless, comes at a cost. Though the manages are made from a fairly lightweight aluminum alloy, utilizing the totally extended tool for any amount of time can be quite an upper body workout.

ShockGuard Bumper System

Unlike most hedge shears, which use a pair of rubber or artificial bumpers to keep the manages from coming together with a jarring shock to your arms and shoulders with every cut, Corona uses its own special cushioning system. The ShockGuard design utilizes just one bumper that is incorporated into the cutting system.

This bumper has actually a good cushioned feel when making a cut. This matters in a tool designed to cut larger size branches than a lot of shears are developed to handle. This function minimizes muscle stress and fatigue.

PowerSOURCE Linkage
Corona’s own linkage system makes cutting 3 times simpler, according to their reports. We have no way to measure this, however, we found this tool to be the most effective of all those we tested.

Comfort Grips
The ComfortGEL+ handles are not particularly gel-like. They are simple to grip, and comfy, nevertheless. Nicely sized (for an effective tool such as this), and with a clingy surface, the grips definitely pass the comfort test.
