Fiskars / Hedge & Topiary Shears
Fiskars 91696935J Power-Lever Telescoping Hedge Shears
Extendable steel handles and Tight-Lock levers provide a different setup from fixed-length geared shears.
CHOOSING THIS MODEL
Adjust handle length with a lever system
These Power-Lever shears combine a lever mechanism with telescoping handles. Tight-Lock levers are described as flipping up to adjust and down to retain the selected length. That is the practical reason to compare this model with fixed-length hedge shears rather than treating every Fiskars mechanism as the same tool.
The listing names 10-inch hardened-steel blades, low-friction coating and cushioned non-slip grips on steel handles. Serration and a self-sharpening design are advertised, but they do not provide a separate blade-maintenance procedure or eliminate the need to follow the exact instructions.
The selected style says 25–33 inches, while the detailed description says 26–33 inches and another dimension entry is shorter. The common extended label is 33 inches, but confirm the actual closed size before a fitted-storage purchase. Compare PowerGear2 for a fixed 23-inch geared body, or Tabor B212A for waved blades and a separately described tension-adjustment bolt.

Where this model is useful

- Blade length does not establish branch-diameter capacity.

Your questions about this product
How do the extension locks work?
The description says Tight-Lock levers flip up for adjustment and down to retain the chosen handle length.
When is TABOR B212A the more useful comparison?
B212A offers waved carbon-steel blades and a pivot-tension adjustment. This Power-Lever uses its own lever mechanism, serrated-blade description and Tight-Lock extension levers. Choose the profile and controls before relying on an exact closed size, which still needs confirmation here.
What changes with PowerGear 2?
The selected PowerGear 2 hedge shear is a fixed 23-inch geared model, while this Power-Lever uses telescoping handles and its own lever mechanism.
