Fiskars Pro Hedge Shear Replacement Blade, 1 Count

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to see how easy the blades would be if so needed to replace them in the future. The bolt loosened easily and the blades loses Ed from the handles. The spring went back into place and the new blades secured easily and cut smoothly lije the original blades. Nice to know they have replacement blades for this product. I put my irigalky blades back in and stored these for future use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blades comprise the business-end of the Fiskars Pro Hedge Shears. These Fiskars Replacement Blades for the Fiskars Pro-Hedge Shears ensure that in the event that the original blades should ever need to be replaced due to excessive wear or damage, the outstanding Fiskars Pro-Hedge Shears can be restored to their original condition and cutting effectiveness and efficiency. The blades appear to be precision ground, and are manufactured of thick, high-carbon steel, which means that not only are they very strong and durable, but that they also can be re-sharpened and that they will retain the sharp cutting edge and angle for a long period of time before requiring re-sharpening. I have sharpened hedge shears with a bench grinder in the past, but based on the quality and precision of these blades, my current intention is to sharpen them with whetstones, just as I do for all of my high-quality cutting tools, including kitchen knives. The top blade has a smooth, non-serrated cutting edge, and a darker finish than the bottom blade. The bottom blade has a serrated cutting edge and brighter finish. Both blades have a non-stick finish that has proven to be very beneficial. Firstly, the non-stick finish reduces friction between the blades, resulting in dramatically improved smoothness of operation, which translates into much easier cutting with less manual force being required. The second material benefit is that the blades easily wipe clean, similar to a non-stick cooking pan. After cutting very sappy hedges which coat the blades with sticky sap along with the other organic matter from the hedge, the blades cleaned off easily and completely with just a very quick wipe of an oiled rag. These are the only hedge shear blades that I have used that have ever cleaned up in that manner. Being able to clean all of the detritus off the blades easily and completely after each use, and the non-stick coating in and of itself, indicates to me that these blades will not be nearly as likely to show corrosion as compared to typical hedge shear blades (which always seem to become a corroded mess which then become more difficult to operate due to the friction created by the surface corrosion). The combination of heavy, thick blades with precision ground cutting edges, coupled with a friction reducing and corrosion resistant non-stick surface, results in the fastest and easiest cutting that can be achieved with manual hedge shears. The Fiskars Pro Hedge Shear blades are truly superior to any hedge shear blades that I have used!
