Berry&Bird Hedge Shears

These shears are designed primarily for trimming hedges, bushes, and soft green growth. While the carbon steel blades are sharp and durable, they are not intended for cutting thick, woody branches, which could damage the blade alignment.

To prevent rust and maintain sharpness, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth after every use. Periodically applying a light coat of mineral oil will protect the metal, and you can sharpen the edges with a whetstone or file as needed.

The wooden handles are durable and comfortable, but like all natural wood tools, they should be stored in a dry place when not in use. Prolonged exposure to rain or direct sunlight can cause the wood to dry out or crack over time.

The 19.88-inch length offers a good balance between control and reach, making them ideal for shaping and detailed work. If you are trimming very tall hedges, you may still need a stepladder to reach the top comfortably.

The ergonomic design helps distribute pressure evenly, which reduces hand fatigue during use. However, because they are manual shears, they do require manual squeezing force, so they are best suited for standard trimming tasks rather than heavy-duty clearing.
