Product Description
These high quality Bahco professional hedge shears are suitable for use in parks, vineyards and estates. They are particularly suited to cutting tightly packed hedges such as the varieties used for topiary art work (decorative hedge trimming). The hollow ground, heavy gauge steel blades are precision aligned for a clean cut. The superior blades, absorbing rubber buffers and comfortable handles reduce fatigue. The serrated edges near the bottom of the blade are designed for gripping larger twigs and hard wood during cutting. The blades will cut up to 15mm thick branches. What's in the box: Bahco Hedge Shear. Specifications: Brand: Bahco Length: 57cm/22in Weight: 1070g Precision aligned blades A Word from the Manufacturer: In the day-to-day life of a professional craftsman, there are three vital sources of energy: expertise, professional pride and the right tools.

These things are the dogs john noakes, forget the junk these will chop you hand off if it gets in the way. What a tool, if you need a shear you need these.

I've been a professional gardener on and off for nearly ten years now, and owned a pair of these shears for about the last two or three of those. The price tag comes as something of an eye-watering surprise; you don't really expect to shell out that sum of money on something as mundane as a pair of garden shears. Believe me, though, when I say you get more than your money's worth with the Bahcos. The maxim that cheaper tools are a false economy, since you'll end up buying them twice or three times as often, has never been more clearly illustrated.
I don't so much use the Bahco shears as utterly abuse them on a daily basis, regularly using them to hack through branches that should really call for loppers or a pruning saw. I would never have believed a pair of shears could stand up to so many months of conistent punishment without losing their sharpness, or the evenness of their shearing action, before using the Bahcos. In all the time I've owned them, I've never sharpened them. They've only suffered from 'loose, wobbly blade syndrome' once, which was easily cured by a half-turn of the nut and bolt that holds the two halves together.
Heaven alone knows how much damage my elbow joints have been spared by the small rubber buffers mounted on the inside of both blades. These bounce off each other every time the shears close, so that the blades almost open themselves in readiness for the next chop. Such a little innovation, but one that comes as a pain- and labour-saving revolution when faced with several hours of continuous shearing work.
Truly a professional piece of kit. When it comes to petrol-powered gardening tools, look to Stihl and Husqvarna. When it comes to anything with a bypass shearing action - secateurs and shears, for example - then Bahco rule the roost with no competion. Swallow your concern over the cost and lay your money down.
