This small carbon steel boxwood shear by Burgon and Ball is suitable for light pruning, maintaining topiary boxwood, or maintaining lawn borders. Its scissor-shaped blades work precisely and quickly, cutting tender and green stems cleanly, not too thick. It is a sturdy and durable tool, but also very comfortable to handle thanks to its elasticity and its handle covered with non-slip rubber. Particularly suitable for gardeners with small hands or for precise pruning work to be done. Like all its stainless steel tools approved by the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), this shear is guaranteed for life by Burgon & Ball.

This small boxwood shear made of tempered carbon steel by Burgon and Ball is a flexible, lightweight, easy to handle and precise cutting tool designed for trimming grass and cleanly cutting tender stems, grass and not too thick green wood. Made of tempered carbon steel, it will satisfy even the most demanding gardeners. Perfect for boxwood and topiary maintenance, light pruning and refining lawn edges!

Its handle is covered with non-slip and comfortable rubber, the small size of the tool (25 cm (10in)) as well as the length of the short blades of this hand shear (9 cm (4in)) make it particularly suitable for gardeners with small hands or those who require particularly precise pruning work.

The English are recognized for being the reference in gardening (especially when it comes to lawns). Promesses de fleurs has chosen the English company Burgon & Ball for the quality of its materials and its nearly three-century-old steel manufacturing methods. The company has been working with steel in Sheffield since 1730, initially with a patent for solid steel sheep shears. The production of garden shears and equipment quickly surpassed that of sheep shears, but Burgon & Ball stainless steel tools are officially approved by the Royal Horticultural Society - probably the ultimate gardening accolade.

The steel used for Burgon & Ball tools is alloyed with carbon to give it strength, and with chrome to prevent rust. It is a very precise balance that needs to be found between chrome and carbon, different for each part of the tool. The heat treatment allows to give the steel exactly the right hardness for each tool. If it's too hard, the metal can break or chip, if it's not hard enough, it will bend or lose its sharpness. The thickness of the steel used also depends on the tool. The thickness of the steel affects the weight, so it's also a balance to be found, which the company Burgon & Ball, with its nearly 300 years of experience, has validated to ensure that its tools are both efficient and pleasant to use.
