Shape your garden like a pro with the Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Handled Wavy Edged Hedge Shears—a high-performance cutting tool trusted by gardeners and approved by the Royal Horticultural Society.
Whether you’re tackling dense hedging or refining ornamental shrubs, these shears deliver a clean, precise cut thanks to their thoughtfully engineered design. At the heart of their power is a compound action (double pivot) mechanism, which provides up to 60% more cutting force than conventional shears—making even thicker stems easy to handle.
The 21cm wavy-edged blades have been specially designed to trap foliage as you cut, preventing slippage and ensuring every stroke counts, even at full arm’s length. When you need extra reach, the telescopic aluminium handles extend from 65.5cm to 85cm, helping you trim taller hedges or deeper borders without strain or wobble.
Despite their robust performance, these shears remain remarkably lightweight at just 1.21kg, making them ideal for longer gardening sessions without tiring out your arms. The comfortable rubber grip handles provide excellent control and cushioning, helping you work accurately and comfortably.
From precise topiary work to taming unruly privet, this shear set is a serious upgrade for any garden toolkit—and it’s built to last, like all tools in the Burgon & Ball x RHS collaboration.
Why We Love It at AllotMate Essentials
It’s rare to find shears that are this powerful yet this easy to handle. The compound action is a game-changer—cutting through thick stems without much effort—and the telescopic handles mean you don’t need a ladder for every trim. The 21cm wavy blades are brilliantly effective for holding onto foliage and stopping slips mid-cut. Plus, they’re light (just 1.21kg!) and comfortable enough for long stints in the garden. We think they strike the perfect balance between precision, reach, and cutting strength—an absolute must-have for hedge lovers.
