Q: What are these shears used for?
These long handled shears are built for precise, quiet trimming around trees, walls and flower beds, including topiary work and shaping ornamental grasses where a power trimmer would be too rough.
EC527 - Long-Handled Shears
These are the shears to use when tidy, precise cuts are important, such as in topiary work or when trimming ornamental grasses.
Lightweight, well balanced and weighing just under 2 lb, they are not tiring to use. The aluminum handles provide a comfortable grip, while the shock-absorbing bumpers reduce strain in prolonged use.
The offset design allows for clearance when sculpting a hedge to a precise outline. The 7" carbon-steel blades have a smooth action like that of fine tailor shears, providing a quick, clean cut.
The shears are 29" long overall and include a sheath.
These long handled shears are built for precise, quiet trimming around trees, walls and flower beds, including topiary work and shaping ornamental grasses where a power trimmer would be too rough.
Grass shears like these are generally lighter and meant for finer, closer trimming around edges and ornamental plants, while heavier hedge shears are built to power through thicker branches; the offset blades here suit fine detail work particularly well.
Yes, a sheath is included to protect the blades and keep them from nicking anything else when not in use.
They weigh just under 2 lb, light enough that shock-absorbing bumpers and aluminum handles keep hand strain low during longer trimming sessions.
