Traditional forged pruning shears with bamboo handles, by Polet.

These traditional bamboo-handled pruning shears by Polet are a cutting tool that combines robustness, manoeuvrability and looks, designed to satisfy demanding gardeners. Equipped with strong forged carbon steel blades, undulated to better grip the branches, these shears effortlessly and cleanly cut green and living branches. The bamboo handles are as elegant as they are lightweight and easy to handle, and hand are protected by a stopper that acts as a cushion, improving comfort during use. These shears are particularly suitable for maintaining hedges and shrubs or bushes with coarse and compact forms.

The range of cutting tools developed by Polet incorporates high-quality materials and ergonomic design to facilitate garden pruning work and make it more enjoyable. Pruning shears resemble a large pair of scissors with long, crossing, sharpened blades and two long handles. Since its blades make clean and precise cuts, without crushing or twisting, it is particularly suitable for cutting green wood, stems, and living branches that are flexible, green, and not too thick. A clean pruning cut limits entry points for diseases and promotes healthy tissue healing. Pruning shears are used by holding the blades horizontally against the surface to be trimmed and opening and closing the handle with both hands. They are primarily used for maintaining hedges but can also be used to roughly prune small shrubs or tree-like subjects with compact branches. Shears also prove valuable when cutting back the foliage of numerous grasses in the garden. For very large areas to be trimmed, a mechanized hedge trimmer may be easier.
