Traditional English shears with wooden handles

These traditional shears with rounded wooden handles from Spear & Jackson are adapted for cutting of hedges or trees and bushes with a dense and bushy habit, benefiting from repeated pruning. Its long 203 mm crossing blades are hardened and tempered in C50 carbon steel to maintain their sharpness but also have a cutting notch for pruning larger branches. A beautiful chrome coating makes them exceptionally resistant to rust. This tool has ergonomic, tapered handles made of hard, waterproof wood. These are practical, aesthetic, durable and very versatile shears, ideal for small to medium-sized gardens. This product is guaranteed for 10 years by the manufacturer.

These shears resemble large scissors with long crossing, sharpened blades and two long handles. They are mainly used to cut live, flexible, green, and not-too-thick stems and branches. Use by holding the blades horizontally against the surface to be pruned and opening and closing the handles with both hands. They are mainly used for hedge maintenance but can also be used to roughly prune small bushy or trees with compact branches that densify with maintenance. For very large areas to be pruned, use a mechanized hedge trimmer.
