Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Hedge Shears

The handles feature a simple twist-and-lock mechanism. You rotate the handle to unlock it, slide it to your desired length between 13 and 19 inches, and twist it back to lock it securely in place.

The wavy edge design is engineered to grip and hold stems in place while you cut. This prevents branches from sliding out of the blades, resulting in a cleaner, more efficient trim.

Weighing 2.93 lbs, these shears are designed with lightweight aluminum handles to minimize fatigue. Additionally, built-in shock absorbers help cushion the impact on your wrists and arms during repetitive cutting tasks.

The blades are made from hardened C50 carbon steel with a PTFE coating to resist rust and sap buildup. You can maintain performance by keeping them clean after use and using the adjustable tension nut to fine-tune the blade tightness if you notice the cutting action becoming loose.

These are designed primarily for pruning hedges and shrubs. While the C50 carbon steel is durable, they are best suited for soft growth and smaller stems rather than heavy-duty branch lopping.
