Spear & Jackson 8120RS/09 Razorsharp Telescopic Hedge Shears

Product Information

Let’s face it, when it comes to maintaining your property you’re not always working at shoulder height at below. Not as heavy duty as other sets I would recommend this model for light cutting work but still a good set of shears with decent blades.

Lawn shears are designed for handling unruly grass in areas where even the best lawn mowers can’t go, and where you don’t want to use a strimmer. Buxus should be pruned at the end on May and around the beginning of Sept (this will be your last cut of the year). If it is a topiary hedge then I recommend smaller shears as takes less effort than wielding larger shears around.Short-handled manual shears are one choice for topiary. As long as they are relatively compact, again not exceeding 60 cm, they’ll give sufficient control for basic shapes on medium/large bushes. They tend to be able to cut stalks up to approximately 5 mm in diameter.

These two tools have similar functions, but a pole saw offers little in the way of cutting accuracy. For example, a pole saw will rarely allow you to cut across the top of hedges, as with a hedge trimmer. Hedge Trimmers vs Hedge Shears Some buyers will use a strimmer to do that, but these can be quite messy. They will certainly remove the grass but it does go everywhere. That is why some buyers will use shears for the tidy up. You can of course buy hand shears to do this and they are usually a cheaper option. The Tabor B212E hedge shears are a great telescopic shear . Due to the wavy edge blade, cutting through vegetation is marginally easier. However I am not sure how easy it is going to be sharpening them.Hedge shears are designed with either straight, wavy, or serrated blades, each of which has its own recommended usage. Many of the best garden shears feature blades made from chrome-plated steel . The benefit of this material is that it holds its sharpness well and won’t rust. Sharp blades are indispensable when it comes to gardening work as clean cuts reduce the likelihood of bacteria entering the plant.
